So just lately, my boyfriend and I have been excitedly planning a sun-soaked trip to sunny Tenerife for a week of pure relaxation, and after weeks, no MONTHS of planning, just a fortnight ago we finally booked the holiday.
Unfortunately, though I love him to bits, my lovely boyfriend is a bit of a disaster and he hadn't realised whilst booking the holiday that he had absolutely no idea where his passport was. Scouring his bedroom, and in fact his entire house the week before our flights, we had no success in finding the passport and therefore had to devastatingly give up on the idea of a perfect summer holiday.
We were both feeling pretty blue and in an attempt to pick up the pieces, I spontaneously booked 3 nights in a nice hotel in central London for the both of us, as a consolation prize. Of course, London is no Tenerife but we couldn't afford much more and he was already having to grieve over the loss of £1000!
We actually ended up having the loveliest time in London, and although the atmosphere is a world away from a relaxing, warm holiday, it was still so nice to get away!
On the first full day we headed straight to Oxford Street to do a bit of naughty shopping (spending money I actually didn't have, oops), and even took a stroll down Regent Street, on constant celeb watch. Obviously these streets to most people aren't anything exciting, but for a country girl who rarely goes to big, amazing cities, a gander in Selfridges or a peep in Harrods is eye-opening!
I made a cheeky purchase in the hustle and bustle of busy Selfridges, (nothing terribly exciting, just another MAC lipstick, will post a review and swatch up on my blog soon!) and bored my boyfriend to death as we trawled the makeup aisles.
I didn't take many pictures and annoyingly, forgot to take any during our little visit to Westminster on the second day, but I figured I'd surely be visiting again soon and there are only so many identical pictures of Westminster Abbey, the Eye or Big Ben you can enjoy!
These are some of the things I did take pictures of, although not terribly exciting, they remind me that no matter where you are, or what you're doing, concentrated time with the person that means more than anything in the world to you is the best (soppy).
