te he, well I'm back from Ireland, with a few more freckles and all the more better
gosh London was getting really claustrophobic, so it was nice to escape into another country, see my family, and say hello to my great uncle Lawrence, who is sadly in hospital.
If you are ever looking for a cheap weekend away, I really would recommend Belfast, its basically London, but so so so much cheaper. And whilst the history of the city is horrific, but also extremely interesting. My dad took me round the city, showing the key places of 'The Troubles', which was quite scary as he used to live almost in the heart of it all. Not many people know about 'the Troubles' so I would recommend wiking it (or doing a kassy, te he)
My yaya being the amazing charity shop shopper she is gave me a tour of the city's vintage and charity shops, and wow.
Embelished top, £10; Tennis skirt, £4; Heels, £2
Gold chain necklace, £2; Topaz and pearl clip ons, £3; Pearl clip ons, £2
Crocodile skin bag, £10
that bag is amazing, seriously I can fit in so much stuff! Like un-physically possible amounts, take a wallet, phone, fan, sun glasses, a green tea and a whole katsu curry! Trust me, I've tried.
Frida, my lovely crocodile skinned beauty has redefined the meaning of tardis bag.
Seriously the vintage shops are well worth the travel, I visited two, and they were both really cheap, and with lovely owners. The first, Bang Vintage, had a rack of various 80's snazzy jackets, and I'm talking intricate beading and amazing embellishing, each for only £10. The other had a barrel filled with various shoes, each for just £2. Belfast is my true home.
Okay so as I promised, here is a shed load of pictures from around the city
The glass roof was the Victoria center, which housed many different brands, like Topshop, Urban Outfitters and Kurt Geiger along with an observation level, showing a panoramic view of the city. From there you could see the two yellow cranes at the docks, named David and Goliath, also the City Hall (1 & 3) and many other historical buildings.
It was really amazing to see the city which half of me belongs too, I'd visited my grandparents a lot before but had never see the actually city center, so it was lovely, te he, I feel complete. And truly Irish, of course after visiting several different pubs (don't worry I stuck to coke)
It was saddening to leave, but I promised yaya I'd be back so we could travel to Dublin.
He he, so when you mix me, a camera and several different cloud formations, what do you get? 55 different photos and videos of course! Sorry I couldn't resist.
So I'm back, abit with a faulty internet, but still back on English soil and with another post in the wings ready and a'waiting, about my trip to see the lovely Grace Kelly and eating two delicious V&A pies. Yum.
te he
