Planet Alicimo: November 2015

Hey Everybody! Hope you are well! It feels like forever since I last posted :( for the moment I will just be blogging when I can as I'm trying to keep on top of my school work.

So it was half term last week and on Tuesday, my mum, sister and I went out into London for the day.

When we arrived in Kings Cross and were on our way to the tube we spotted (it wasn't hard to miss to be fair) the massive Rememberance Poppy. I had never been to London during this time of the year and it was nice to see things like this around London throughtout the day to remember those whos fought and died for our country.

We wanted to go to Harrods so we made our way down to South Kensington. I really wanted to practice photography so I tried all the touristy things like taking pictures of famous buildings in London. On route to Harrods is the V&A museam which is one of my favourite places in London. I loved the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition and the Shoe exhbition which I visited in the summer. I look forward to more fashion exhibitions in the future. Definetly recommend going to them if you get the chance! So yes, I love the V&A and also just the look of the building itself.

Its well into Autumn now, a very beautiful time of year in the UK. The trees were all beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. Definitely has a rather magical feel about the place, especially when the sun is shining.

Further down on our route to Harrods, we walked past the London Oratory which looked really beautiful this autumn day against the clear skies.

While waiting for the green man, I was sort of vacantly staring at the road then this beauty catches my eye. A Bentley roles up and not just a Bentley, a Gold Bentley! Car goals much! XD

I couldn't not of taken a photo of this. I mean come on, its stunning.

When drivers were given the green man, I could only watch and pray no-one crashes into it. If it was my car, I would be scared to take it out. I would probably cry if it got pigeon poo on it let alone a huge ass dent.

Luckily, it drove off safely, no crashes, no scratches and off into the distance it went. May be slightly too obsessed with this car. I mean whoever said cars couldn't be a thing for girls too! ;)

By this time, it was lunchtime and we were all pretty hungry so we stopped at the Grand Caffe Concerto. This is my favourite restraunt ever in London. I 100% recommend visiting if your around South Kensington/ Knightsbridge.

I personally go for the Penne Arrabiata which is my fav pasta dish but they also do afteroon teas which I hope to try one day and they look amazing! The interior is stunning aswell with large chandaliers and mirrors, it defiently has the Grand feeling to it. Its reasonably priced too which is a bonus!

When we finally reached Harrods we had to go to the Christmas section, how could we not of? I felt like a child again, running round looking at all the toys. It's always so warm in there though which does make it a little stressful when in there, plus the hundreds of people around you.

However, it was so festive in there which I loved. I think if 6 year old me discovered Harrods at Christmas, I would of definetly lost my shiz.

I particularly loved the decoration around the archways. It looked so magical and I couldn't help but gaze at it every time I went to walk through and of course by me not watching where I was going, I walked into a few people. My bad.

Halloween is one of my most favourite times of year! I love everything to do with it, from creepy costumes, disgustingly sugary sweets and to the mad parties with the spooky décor. Halloween is something I really love to go all out on.

This year I was invited to my friends fancy dress party which lots of good fun.

I really wanted to have a really cool, original costume this year but I didn't really want to spend lots during this time so I opted for your basic witch, although I did put my own spin on it.

My costume sort of reminded me of what the witches in American Horror Story wear.

My costume pretty much consisted of items I already had in my wardrobe...

A polka dot shirt I got from Select last year for my sixth form open day.
A black pleated skirt my sister gave me that she no longer wanted.
My aunties black trench coat from George at Asda that I borrowed for a smart day that I forgot to give back.
Black long socks I brought for a cheerleading competition in Nottingham 5 years ago.
A cheap witches hat from Home Bargains.

The only items I brought new was my necklaces and my shoes which were both purchases from H&M.

Here are some selfies I got from the night. I hope you had a great Halloween and I will see you in my next blog post!
