(Aléxis. He looks so cute with that stasche)
A few days before going to Birmingham, I visited a friend who just had a baby boy. He is so cute and so very tiny. His sleeping poses are just so bad ass, he is going to break a lot of young girls hearts!
So on Wednesday after finishing work, I packed up and headed on over to Birmingham, where I took another train out to stay with my lovely hostess.
(I was both in Awe of the size and era/design of the house. But at the same time I was a little spooked)
The house was amazing, it was so large, so spacious. I loved the Victorian style of the house. Though I did get a bit spooked out though and it didn't help when her house mates returned and thought it would be hilarious to scare me to death. It didn't also help that I have watched Horror films/Thrillers where the house looks exactly like this one. Thus my mind conjured up all kinds of horrible things. I wanted to run from the house as fast as I could. Unfortunately for them, I went on a slasher rampage (after figuring out it was a prank).

Most of the time was spent sitting in the back garden,soaking up the sun, gossiping and catching up.

On the last day, I really wanted to go to the Bullring to do some shopping but mostly to drink so cold, refreshing bubble tea. So the lovely Kass ventured with me to New Street. I then took her to get bobo tea, which she got addicted to. I have never seen anyone that excited about it (other then myself). She was rushing me to go back to get another one before the stall closed and she even left me in the store to go get it as I was taking to long.
Well...I kind of indulged. As we made our way towards SCHUH, we walked passed GAME. We both are gamers, her more then me. So it was hard to just walk past GAME. We ended up giving in and I left with the 3DSXL, Animal cross edition. As you may or may not know I absolutely love white apparel/electronics, so this 3DS made my heart skip a beat. I really wanted to play Animal crossing when I first found out about the new release of the game (I have the game on my DS Lite). Then the console got released and that was it! White and has cute Animal crossing motif! Unfortunately for me, I am super conservative about my money from being a poor student and it wasn't really on my mental list of 'to buys', thus it is still in the box unopened (also I found it cheaper on the GAME website! *@£$!). (Really want to play the new Harvest Moon games so...MENTAL DILEMA)
So upon finally arriving into SCHUH, they were having a SALE! I absolutely love sale shopping. Though I seem to have a habit of falling in love with things outside of the sale.
One thing I really felt in the past that didn't suit me was high tops, but I have always wanted a pair. So I decided I would have one more go with finding a pair that suited me. I fell in love with the DC high tops. I like the contrast of the black against the girly bright floral pattern. I felt really bad ass wearing them. Do you ever buy something and it makes you feel a certain way and you emit a different persona? For example that statement dress makes you feel classy and refined, thus causing that sexy walk as you make your way down the street? That's what I am like with my apparel. I was literally swaggering around the store, I wanted to hope on a skate board and go wild. I felt edgy but girly. People tell me I should have became an actress, well it's never to late! (Ha)
I also picked up the pastel blue chunky heels, which happened to be in the sale! (score) I love the delicateness of the colour and the structure of the shoes. After taking them home and trying them on with other things (around the house of course!), I realised how quickly the white wouldn't stay white. So I took them back. I wasn't particularly in love with the shoes themselves, so it wasn't that hard to take them back. But I will definitely keep my eyes peel for some pastel shoes.
I have some ebay/facebook buys, but I will leave that for another time as this post has become long. So long for now.
