Buckingham Palace

When i was in London last week i stumbled across the entrance to the Summer opening of Buckingham Palace's state rooms.

At a mear £17.50 i couldn't pass up the chance to take a walk around the Queens diggs & i also got to see THAT DRESS!

For you £17.50 you join a rather large group of people who are let in portion by portion into the State rooms of the palace, your given a audio guide (which is amazing) at no extra cost & are free to wonder as you like.

However you cannot take photos in the Palace (which makes sense doesn't it really) but you can in the grounds as you will see below.

Just hanging out in the Queens back yard!

Wondering around the garden

Royal Squirrel?
More gardens.

I really enjoyed the tour & i spent almost 2 hours in there.

Kates dress was stunning & so small, i also got to watch a video of Sarah Burton talking about how the dress was made & why it is that way.

My favourite thing where Kates earrings, they where stunning & a gift from her mum & dad on her wedding day.

I would recommend anyone near London to go & take a look find all details here!

Imperial War Museum London

On Tuesday i headed to The Imperial War Museum in London.
I had very very high hopes for my trip there as their sister museum in Manchester is one of my all time favourites. I was so happy to find that it exceeded my expectations.
The building itself is simply stunning the walk up to it in the warm September sunshine was divine.
Inside its well put together & easy to navigate.
The best parts where the simulated trench, the Holocaust remembrance section & the mock house from the 1940's.
In the end i spent about 3 hours there & it is most definitely worth the journey.

(this photo looks a little scary, I'm still trying to work out my tripod. Feel free to have a little laugh at it)

And so it begins

So my travels have finally begun..
This may only be my pre Europe adventure but im still exciting.

Im finally a backpacker (after almost 3 years of planning) im finally doing all my touristy things.
Today it begins in London, yes i have been here 3 times but this is different i have always come here with a purpose but this time i am a tourist.

Lets get it on!

E! news anyone?

My hostel, i will reveiw this!

My lunch on my last day, so yummy!

And the last penny goes to.

This past week i went to London for 2 days, i did 2 videos on the streets of London and will hopefully have them up this week.
While there i didn't do much shopping, although i did head to Oxford street because i love the feel and vibe of it (reminds me of inner Sydney).
I had major money/bank dramas while down there but besides that i have decided to have NO MORE spending. As you all should know I'm traveling in September/October so i need to keep any funds for that and also due to work i don't have loads of extra cash coming in (but this is ok because i LOVE my job).
So these shall be my last purchases for a while.

These are my beauties i found on Oxford street.
The bag i got at Primark and i couldn't pass it up, i use these canvas bags ALL THE TIME and this one is so cute and funny.
The necklace was from Topshop i will do a whole post on it this week as it was amazing and i want to go into great detail about this necklace.

I also found these polishes at Topshop the pink one blew me away it is sooooooooo amazing and i have never seen anything like it (does Topshop Oxford street get different Barry M to everywhere else?)
And i have seen the Holograms on Fee's blog and picked them up because again i have only ever seen them there and never seen them where i could purchase them.

Arn't Primark scarves the BEST?

I love my Primark scarves and i am finding that even though its warming up here in the UK i still need a light scarf as there always seams to be a cool breeze.

I picked this because of the colours and patterns then i opened it and realised it was a union jack. I think i love it even more.

Last of all is my official piece of of Royal Wedding memorabilia, i purchased this pin at the Westminster Abbey shop for a donation of a pound.

Theres something to show the grand kids.

I will post the pictures and videos this week.

Lets face it im excited!!!

So today i head to London and although I'm not down for the royal wedding i am so so so excited about it!
I love weddings and this is no exception. I will be watching on Friday and cant wait to see what everyone is wearing, i personally hope she wears a vintage dress but hey that's just me!
I cant wait to get to London today to see the bunting lined streets and Westminster Abbey is the most beautiful building inside and out.
Good luck to them!
P.s don't forget if your in Australia either tape Sunrise or get up early to see if you can spot me, i will be wearing the red woodchip boutique dress seen here!

Found here!

2 Days 1 city, what to do?

Tomorrow i will be heading to London for 2 days.
I was just going down on Wednesday to have a passport appointment but have now been able to extend my trip to allow for 2 days.
I am now looking for some interesting things to see or places to go.
Where are the best vintage shops for me to have a look around etc.
Please comment below ASAP so i can find where they are and go see them.

To all my Australian readers,
I will be staying on in London on Wednesday night to go and take part in the sunrise taping that will air on 28th April (which is my brothers birthday) I'm hoping you will all be able to see my. I will be holding a sign that says "Happy Birthday Bradley" so look for me. Hopefully they will be able to have a little chat to me and i can say hi to you guys!
