My Trip to London Town. :)

Just a wee quicky with some photos from my London adventure. I went for five nights, and spent three nights with my sister and her boyfriend and then the last two nights two of my friends from Glasgow flew down and we all stayed with our best friend and her boyfriend who moved to London last year. I had a great time! :)

There were big Easter Eggs near to the London Eye you could choose a wee stickers to put on, I chose a red and wrote on it 'SMILE! Love, Lauren from Glasgow' so if you see the eggs, look for my sticker! =p
We went to the Chocolate Festival on Southbank, there were sooo many samples, it was awesome but so busy!
It was lovely and sunny so we went to Spitalfields Market and then a park to have lunch. Do you think I look like my sister?? People always say we look alike.

As a surprise, my sister took me to see Legally Blonde the Musical! I just about DIED. It's my favourite movie ever and we had a fantastic night! Thanks, Alie!! <3

I had some time to myself, so I did some shopping, went to Hyde Park, and had a wee breakfast in the sun at a pavement cafe. :)

When I met my friends for the second part of my holiday, we went for lots of 'lunches' (i.e. drinks) and went to see Jersey Boys. We also didn't know you weren't allowed alcohol on public transport - oops! You are in Scotland haha!

We went a night out into Camden - can you tell which is the before and which is the after?? =p

On our last day we had lunch at the most random cafe ever just off Oxford Street, called Allan's of Mayfair. The decor was SO random; a flatscreen TV, Christmas decorations, fruit, faux fur on the walls - very bizarre but fun!

I had a great trip, mainly because I got to see my sister and my friends, but I do enjoy a wee visit to London! Has anyone else gone anywhere fun over the holidays? Or are you planning to?

Let me know!

I Picked a Dress! (Christmas Night Out)

Hi guys! Just a quick HI! to my new followers and I am super excited to be nearly at 200 followers. I'd love to be there by the end of the year, so if you enjoy reading my blog please recommend me, I'd hugely appreciate it. ^_^

So I had an amazing response to my dress dilemma post, where I couldn't decide which dress to keep for my Christmas night out. The overwhelming consensus was either number 1 or 4...

So I decided to keep both! I'm saving the sequin one for Hoggers (NYE for all you non-Scottish folk). But today I thought I'd share some of my photos from my Christmas Night Out!

I also have some exciting news (not really). Those of you who follow me on Twitter will already know this, but I have gone to the DARK SIDE! Yes, I am no longer platinum blonde. If you glance up to the right, you will see the hair colour I usually have - preeeetty blonde. I've always been blonde, ever since I was a little tot...

I know, what a photo!! Don't have a huge selection of little me on my comp tho so that will have to do. =p

My sister is like a chameleon of hair colour, she has naturally dark hair but has been everything from white blonde to black over the years...

... And it's made me a bit jealous! So last year I tried dying my hair brown.

... It didn't last long, an soon I was back to platinum blonde!

But this time I was determined to go a bit darker properly and went to my hair extensionist so she could colour it and match my extensions at the same time. I asked for golden blonde, like Blake's...

... this photo (that I took quickly for Twitter!) doesn't really show the golden tones very well. The following pictures show it better.

But anyways! I have a really close group of friends I met at uni, we go out every year and this year we went to Ashton Lane in Glasgow West End. It's a beautiful little pedestrian-only cobbled lane filled with pubs and restaurants.

It's a lovely place to go for a night out. Here's me in THE OUTFIT.

I added a cute little belt from Primark and my amaaaazing shoes from ASOS. Clearly I forgot to clean my camera as well. =p

Close up of my hair - what do you think? I actually really like it now!

Me and my best friends. ^_^

I had a great night, it's so lovely to catch up with friends, and I love the festive season for all the excuses to dress up! Hope you guys are enjoying it so far.

So did I end up picking the right dress? It was actually totally down to you guys cause I wouldn't have kept this one otherwise!! And what do you think of my new hair?? Do I suit it?

Let me know!!

Back to reality: Home from London...

Hello!! I feel like it's been ages since I've blogged, even though it was only really the weekend. I had an awesome time in London, it was great to see my friend again! I didn't get a chance to take any photos specifically for here (my friends don't know about my blog) so apologies for the 'Facebook' photos!! I really need to hire someone to start taking photos for me so I don't look like a complete idiot.

We flew down, me and my two friends, and I am NOT a good flier. The flight was only an hour long but I still got myself in a state. Ugh. Anyways, here's a photo of what I travelled in:

Primark jumper

Primark belt

Forever 21 skirt

Primark socks

Primark boots

Love me a bit of Primark. Also love these socks, seem to be wearing them a lot!! So after the flight it was an hour's bus journey to where my friend lives, so we got to hers about eleven thirty at night. A few drinks then bed! She lives really central so it was awesome.

Blog GIVEAWAY & Laaandaaaan tomorrow! + Day 3 :)

Just a reminder that I am doing a Blog Giveaway because I reached 50 followers (thanks!!), the link is HERE to find out more and to enter. This is the prize:
