Hi everyone! You must be wondering where I have gone for the last 2 weeks. Right after my physics exam (Yes, I'm done with physics for good! (at least a few years) I packed my bags and headed to three different countries in Europe with my family.
I've decided to break up the blog posts because there's alot of pictures, so this blog will be about everything I got in the first country I was in, England!
First things first! My mom and I took the tube to Marble Arch, which is home to Oxford street, filled with tons of high-street shops (think Primark, French Connection, Topshop, Urban Outfitters). The first place we went to was Topshop, and I picked up two nail varnishes by Barry M, which are always raved by UK makeup gurus.
These are 3 pounds and the colour Blue moon, is similar to Borrowed and blue by Essie. This polish requires 3 coats and is quite sheer.
The next thing I made sure I would get is a sheer blouse. I've been wanting one for ages, but the one I like is by Club Monaco and costs about $125 (which is simply too much for a sheer blouse!) I made my way into Miss Selfridge and ended up getting this blouse which is almost identical to the Club Monaco one!
Love love this blouse and it was 35 pounds which is roughly $50.
The next stop was Selfridge's department store and I got this lovely bracelet by Monica Vinader
This was definitely my one special splurge, it was 115 pounds. Rose gold plated, sterling silver bracelet with a chocolate brown tie.
We visited Buckingham palace (where the Queen normally lives but she went for a summer vacation in Scotland so the public are now allowed to enter the palace!) It was beautiful with tons of detail and the audio guide was very interesting to hear. I got to see Kate Middleton's wedding dress, shoes, cake, and bouquet. In the gift shop I got this travel jewelry case, mainly for my more special jewelry, since most of it was just sitting in a glass bowl at home.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for a haul from the next country: France!
Rebecca
