Adventure time

So on wednesday I journeyed to London to have a look at my accommodation, as well as have a day wandering around london. I was supposed to meet someone in London but she stood me up and I couldn't contact her at all. Fortunately for me, my good friend and brother came to my rescue.

This is where I will be spending my first year of university. It was larger then I had expected it to be, which pleasantly surprised me. It was spacious and had a very nice design wardrobe, lots of compartments for clothes. The bed is bigger then a single bed, which will be nice a roomy, as at the moment I have a single bed. 

I can't wait to move in and decorate it.

 The kitchen area is so roomy and spacious and I will be spending a lot of time in this area as there is a flatscreen in the kind of social area, there will be a lot of just dance going on in here. I just hope to not have messy roommates.

Luckily for me, even before I move in I will know someone living in the same compound as me and also attending the same university and at the same campus. Unfortunately it's his last year and next year he may be going back home. 

 After viewing the accommodation I headed out with my bro, we rocked out to some tunes in his car while looking for a parking space and then journeyed to central london.

We spent most of the time in Troccadero, for anyone who doesn't know, Troc is a place located of off Piccadilly station where dancers meet up, practice there moves and also learn from other dancers to progress in there style.

As it is so close to China Town/Leicester square, we popped over for some lunching as we hadn't eaten all day and then went back and chilled. I met some old faces and met some new faces. I can't wait to be living in September so I can come here often.

Fly my pretty! LM; Winged sid Backpack buy.

When Vivienne Westwood first released her eco-friendly shoe brand Melissa, called "MELISSA Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Wing' during her Red Collection Spring 2010 show at London Fashion Week, I instantly fell in love. Magical shoes that will make you feel like your flying! (I have yet to be able to acquire them though)

I became obsessed with winged apparel. I stumbled across the Jeremy Scott for Adidas JS wing sneaker collection in Selfridges one day and went on a hunt for other things winged!

I came across the Lost Mannequin Winged sid Back pack;

 I have been lusting for this bag for a very long time, unfortunately I have never had the money, but recently I got a job. I didn't particularly like the pink bag nor the pinkxblue one and I didn't want to buy the standard colour of black, I wanted something original and unique to me. I realised that they were made to order, so I contacted them asking if they could make a custom one for me.

They were incredible friendly and were willing to undertake my request.

I was very uncertain about how big the bag would actually be, but after having seen someone with the bag in RL, I just had to have it.

As you can see it is a good sized bag, it's able to carry a lot in it. I can get my laptop into it and still have room for more things. There is one front pocket and two side pockets on the exterior and one zip pocket, one large pocket, two small pockets, a pen holder and a key holder in the interior. Organisation freak heaven!! Love it so much!

I have a really big love for the colour white/ivory/off white. I have so many things that are this colour. I just love the pure, sleek, delicate look that the colour demonstrates.

I didn't want the bag to be completely ivory, so I broke it up by adding a turquoise colour for the threading of the wings and a turquoise drawstring. I also requested that all the latches to be black.

I really love the outcome. They customised my bag for an extra $10 on top of the original price, so overall the bag was $60. The shipping varies for each country but to the United Kingdom is was $51. It was an expensive buy but worth it.

Lost Mannequin has been around since 2008 and is owned by two sisters, Freda and Titha, who I hope I was talking to when ordering my bag. 

If you want to own one of these bags or view there other bags then go to Lost Mannequin website.
