Saatchi Gallery - London.

On Wednesday (3rd) I went down to London to stay with my mum for the week until Sunday (7th), my birthday! Whilst I was down there I was going to do the usual, write about the places I've been and throw in a couple of (probably crappy) photos. I realised that I didn't want to do that this time, so I put together a little series of 3 (most likely crappy) videos about 3 of my favourite places we visited. This was actually the second video I created but I wanted to show this first. So, here it is... The Saatchi Gallery.

Excuse the quality, I filmed it all on my little IPhone. I don't have the best equipment just yet aha. Let me know what you think!

London: A Little Haul.

This is part two of my little London series and I am going to be sharing the bits I bought whilst I was down there. 

I actually got a decent amount of things. I didn't think I'd end up coming home with a lot of stuff but it wasn't as expensive as I thought...which was kind of dangerous haha! 

At Camden I ended up getting a silver-ish skull, which I fell in love with. I got it from a little shop full of skulls and mythical creatures. The man who owned it said his friend hand makes everything. Knowing it was handmade made me love it even more.

On Friday we visited a lot of the charity shops which were ram packed with old records. I ended up leaving with a Lionel Richie vinyl because Lionel is life...and it was only £1, barg! I also nipped into the Lush, of course. I picked up a creamy candy bubble bar and a blackberry bath bomb. Finally I ordered my new granny glasses and picked them up later that evening. They are not everyone's cup of tea but I love em (plus they fit my massive head).

In London we stopped off at Liberty where I spotted this illustration book. I instantly fell in love with it. The woman who served us in there was soooo lovely too.

And finally, Brick Lane. I had to go to Rokit! I ended up getting a coat, I was pretty surprised actually because a lot of things in vintage shops are like a 90's oversized look and I don't really suit that type of fit (I like baggy clothes not oversized, there is a difference!). But the coat I dug out is a gem! 

The last purchase from my trip was a bunch of chocolate. How can you leave a trip away without picking up some chocolate?! Dark Sugars on Brick Lane is the liveliest, modern chocolate shop I have ever seen! Old school Justin Timberlake was blasting out of the doors, you could literally hear it from down the street (I wasn't complaining though). The staff were so friendly, dancing around, taking pictures with people all whilst shoving chocolates into everyone's mouth who entered the door. I must have consumed about 10 chocolates whilst I was in there. We ended up spending £12 on different chocolates, it was deffo worth it though!

So that's everything I got. I have probably forgotten about a lot of the things that I bought but these were definitely the best of the bunch.

Blogging, Art & New Ideas...

Hey hey! So after a while of feeling uninspired and bored of my blog I gave myself a kick up the bum and decided to do something about it. Most of my posts you may have seen had been pre-written ageeees ago. Even though I didn't think they were very good I decided to post them anyway, I had nothing to lose did I?! Now they are all live I decided that I didn't want to carry on feeling like I had to post content and that it had to fit into a certain 'category' of blogging. So this is just a quick post to get it off my chest and to start a fresh! 

As I said, I felt like I had to post content which I had to create and deliver in a certain way and because of this I wasn't putting my personality into my content. But now I am just going to put 100% into everything, posting what I want when I want.

Whilst I had a bit of spare time I rekindled my love for art and discovered the world of hand lettering. I post a few bits and bats on my Insta and I am also selling some watercolour design notebooks on my Depop (@poppyykayy).

I also want some new blogs to follow and want to get to know more people in the blogging world. So leave your blog in the comments then I can check it out!

 I have loads of new ideas and I cant wait to get stuck in!
