LONDON TRIP

So me and Nathan decided to have a mid-week break in London. It was quite spontaneous for us as Im normally a super organised freak! Saying this, we had such a lovely time and a much needed break from work. 

We got the train Thursday morning and stayed in the Park Plaza in Westminster. 
I seriously recommend this hotel, it was Uh-Ma-Zing. We were only having a one night stay  so we tried to squeeze as much in as possible! When we arrived we had reservations at Marcus Wareing's michelin star restaurant in Knightsbridge. As expected, It was out of this world and was really nice spending an afternoon experiencing how the other half live!



After dinner we spent our afternoon in the hotels spa area and had a swim. 
Whenever a hotel has a pool, you can guarantee we'll be there!


On the evening we had organised to meet our friends who live there for dinner. They took us to a lovely Italian restaurant on the Thames and then to the Rumpus Room Rooftop Bar in the Mondrian Hotel for cocktails. We had a really lovely time with an beautiful view.


We tried to get up the next morning to see the Solar Eclipse but London was really cloudy so no such luck. Friday we decided we would go shopping and see some sights so we set out and walked to The Breakfast Club in Soho. Delicious! 
Afterwards we went into Knightsbridge to do some shopping and mainly, to visit the famous Harrods. 




We actually didn't buy one thing from Harrods but had a nice time walking round the store. In the cosmetics section, I got really excited and wandered over to Estee Lauder to grab an EE cream which I've been wanting for a while. I was seen by an extremely rude sales assistant so I actually went to Harvey Nicks to buy it instead.
Luckily, there I was served by a really friendly lady who also gave me a free mascara so It was a good decision all round! 

I won't do a detailed review but I have to say the Enlighten EE cream is absolutely beautiful. Really light and dewy with just the right amount of coverage. 
I got mine In Medium. As far as Im aware it only comes in 3 colours. It costs £34.00 and you can purchase it here at FeelUnique.com.
Our train home was at 8pm so we decided to just eat at London Euston station. Our choice was Ed's Diner and it was a good one! 


So after a lovely break, we had a chilled train ride home.
Great chance to relax and read my book!
