Christmas In The City

Just like last year, I planned a weekend to go and visit my sister in London and check out all the Christmas decorations around and do some shopping! My weekend didn't get off to a great start, I missed my train because I was sick and spent the rest of the weekend feeling like death warmed up! I tried to make the most of the weekend and did get to enjoy some of it!

When I arrived we had a flying visit to Oxford Street to pick up a few things and check out the window displays at Selfridges!


I love polar bears and this window was my favourite, even if it was mainly aimed at the kids!




On Saturday after a rocky start to my morning I made it to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park in time to see the circus!






I then met up with two of my best friends from high school, we checked out all the Christmas gifts and other goods on offer (yes I did make a few purchases). Everyone else got some delicious churros, I so wish I had felt like eating, I did steal a bite!



I was just holding my sisters while, she took the picture!



There was a random pair of shoes hanging from a tree in the park!


My sister headed off to Covent Garden to pick up some Christmas gifts and snapped these pictures for me while I had a rest with Ben and Charlotte in the M&S cafe!





I was saving my energy for checking out Harrods and hunting down a gingerbread man( I was successful!!!)








The food hall is my favourite place, this gingerbread house was insane!


I couldn't afford that, but I did bring some cupcakes home!



Hopefully next December I'll get to visit my sister again and I'll feel well enough to enjoy the weekend!

  2. My favorite part about the holidays are the festive window displays. Sure, the Chanel one is borderline pornographic but who counts?

    Happy holidays!
