No Man's Land and day trip to London


This autumn I have a lot of things planned. October is going to be crazy busy with the NFL, DST, Nottingham, The Libertine and MCM every weekend is jam packed with things to do! It is exciting times and also scary times for my bank account eep.

However to kick it all off I had booked tickets to see No Man's Land up in London. A chance to see Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen perform together live was too good an opportunity to miss out on so we booked tickets back at the beginning of the year.

I had to get a travel card and as they aren't particularly cheap from where I live now I decided to make a whole day of it. We got up early and headed to Toby Carvey to have a breakfast buffet. Afterwards we headed up to London and went straight to Camden to have a good look around. As soon as we got there the heavens opened up and didn't stop all day!

I haven't been up there in a while and I wanted to have a look as there is lots of clothes and trinkets that I love in Camden. Matt got himself a lovely new Pokemon T-Shirt and I got a cardigan ridiculously cheap in the sale in Collectif.

Afterwards we went straight to the theater for the 2:30pm showing. Ian McKellen was running half an hour late but it was lovely to spend time inside a beautiful venue and also to be out of the rain and wind. The show was amazing and I really enjoyed it. The chemistry between the two actors was as good as I imagined it to be. I was left with lots of questions and a bit 'bamboozled' by the play at the end, but from what I can tell you take away what you want from it.


The characters were great and they were really funny too. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it if you have chance to see it while it is on in London. The whole play is just 4 people in one room but its still feels like a grand play and is interesting thought provoking all the way through.

Afterwards we headed to the nerd haven the Forbidden Planet Mega Store, where we took full advantage of their 3 for 2 on their manga and I also got a Captain Jack Harkeness POP Funko too!

Mini Haul
We finished the evening with a Wagamamas and got home around 10pm. I have a lovely day despite the pouring rain and wind.

I am really looking forward to lots of days out in October, things have been pretty quiet over the summer so I can't wait for lots more trips and days out with Matt!

Camden shopping.

So this week has been pretty good tbh. I have way too much Uni work to do! I'm going to have to work my but off this weekend to get on top of it all but it's ok!
I was pretty naughty and bought a few things this week that I really shouldn't of!

I won this super cute Rilakkuma bear case. Found out that Rilakkuma means relaxed bear >.< I won it for £1.40 so a bit of a bargin really!


Also finally bought one of these fox bags that I freaking love alot! I have been faffing over this bag for way too long and my friend got the orange one and I just thought fuck it I've gotta have it, its way too cute not to have!


Then on Thursday me and Matt went to Camden. We were going to go on Wednesday but the weather was awful and the shop Matt wanted to go to shut at 3pm so we left it and it was alo bucketing it down with rain. But on Thursday the sun was out and there was pretty much no rain only a little bit while we were on the train! I really wanted to go and look at all the beautiful dresses and see about the dress I wanted to get for graduation. Although now I can't get it as I have to wear a high neck dress so I can pin my gown to it gah. But it means I don't have to buy a new dress! I was exceptionally naughty and I have slight buyers remorse because I can't really afford it as £45 but it BEAUTIFUL! 
I got this hell bunny nautical dress.



It's just stunning! I think I will wear it out for my Nans 80th dinner thing tomorrow as it is quite smarter (smarter than my other hell bunny dresses!) I feel so amazing in it I really really do! Fits so nicely I feel very girly and smexy! I do like shopping in Camden there is just so much to look at although alot of the stalls do sell the same junk! I really liked the shop that I got the dress from because most the shops and stalls REALLY pressure you into buying stuff but this shop the woman said that looks really nice on you it suits you, and said I didn't need a bigger size and left it at that. So I had chance to go away and think about it!

We also went to Forbidden Planet super store. We have a little one in Croydon but the one in London is awesome. I could of spent £3,000 easily on Thursday. £300ish in camden on pretty dresses and cool junk LIKE AT THE AMAZING TOTORO STAND I FOUND IN THE LOCK MARKET, ahhh it was amazing! But it was full of stuff I had no need for at least the dress is useful and practical! and I could of spent the other £2,700 in forbidden planet! And we did't even get a a chance to go to the big art box in convent garden. Probably for the best me thinks!

I also got my sister to dye my hair this week! It needed doing sooo much as you can see. I forgot how quickly roots come through on blonde hair. Thats only after about 5 weeks too! Luckily because i've started doing it at home again I can do it more frequently as its around £4 to do not £30!


SO yeah thats my week. Going to see the Avengers next week so SUPER DUPER EXCITED FOR THAT!
