London, day two and three.

In the morning on Thursday last week we went to do some sightseeing that my boyfriend was interested in. I don't really care much for it, as I rather just want to walk around and just see different areas. We did a little of that, too, going to Covent Garden as well.







Later that day we had dinner at my mother's cousin who lives in London. I don't have any pictures from it, but it was very nice.

The next day, in the morning, wasn't very fun for me either. We went to the Docklands as my boyfriend wanted to look at the buildings there. It was okay, but I sort of felt like I was missing out on other things that I'd much rather do.



Perhaps the nicest thing about that area was a really nice park, which soft, long grass that felt like a bed to lie in.


Afterwards we did some more sightseeing in London, such as seeing the Tower Bridge...


... then, finally, some shopping. I found this really nice shop called Dahlia in Carnaby that had the most adoring clothes, as well as fitting rooms.

I bought this dress, and I love it so much.


I really, really regret not buying this trenchcoat. I didn't have time to go back and buy it later.

I love the high waisted skirt with the suspenders! It is fab and It's awesome you bought that dress because it looks fantastic on you. I looked through the program to see when gymnastics was so I've planned in advance and no one will interfere!

Åh, London är ju så underbart!
Tyvärr såg jag ditt tips om Dahlia först när jag kom hem, men jag får helt enkelt åka till London igen och kolla upp den affären då!

Fashion chalet: Thank you :)
Amber: Thank you, too. Oh, I hope I manage to find out when gymnastics is on.
Hannah-Zoë: Ah, thanks. I actually think that I would wear that trench because the weather where I live is quite bad.
margrete: thanks.
city elegance: merci!
Carrie: yes, you should. It's easy to find, really... it's just off Carnaby street.
kaethe: Oh, that is such a great compliment. I checked and Dahlia (dahliafashion.co.uk) actually doesn't have an online shop, but it says on their website that you can contact them for mail order requests... And yes, I'd love to trade blog links!
Ania: Lucky you!
Regine: Takk... å, jeg funderer på å kontakte dem og høre om de kan sende den til meg.
the oracle of style: thanks!
anonymous: I might contact them and ask if they can send it to me... that is, if they still have it.
sassy: å, så synd. Jeg håper du hadde det bra i London likevel!
