Inter-railing, Part 2

This is merely a continuation of my previous travel post, so I shall not "waffle" (lol) on at all...

THIRD STOP
Prague, Czech Republic

I think prague was one of my favourite places, so so pretty like really beautiful place. The people were lovely, and it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cheap. We stayed at Hostel Orange, the cutest little hostel in the center of one of the main sqaures, that I can't remember the name of but it had some manor house thing at one end of it which looked pretty awesome at night. Apart from the lack of lift, which meant carrying a 20kg suitcase up 7 flights of stairs it was so lovely, definitely recommend it!


Soz for the awful quality, was taken on my phone - but here is the manor thingy;








On one day in the square there were these two musicians playing random drums and pipes and things, I didn't get a chance to catch all of it on camera, but here's a video of what I did get;





Keeping true style throughout the trip, especially in Prague, I had my classic 4 way plaits in- like this:
AND I did them myself 
*awaits applause*



FORTH STOP
Vienna, Austria

So, I can't lie here... we didn't see Austria, it rained non stop so we only left the hostel once, and that was to go out to Ride, some random club that was a sort of weird version of Mahiki.. but Austrian. Anyway, the station was bloody amazing so I got a few pics of that...




Lol so onwards
FIFTH STOP
Budapest

SO WE WENT TO A ZOO YE, n paddle boated on a big lake. Was pretty cool.
Budapest was awesome, I will be returning soon.



If you are a festival go-er.. I found Alan, or Steve. You pick.
And if you aren't and have no idea what I'm referring to, watch this video



Strangest looking animals at this zoo, this bird looks like it has a hat on.... but that's just it's face.






Ootd

Shoes - Truffles, Amazon

Hope you enjoyed this
See ya soon

Inter-railing, Part 1

So as you may know I spent a month inter-railing (travelling around Europe by train) with my two best friends Danie and Karmi, I left on the 1st of July and came back on the 24th. Okay so not a month, 3 weeks, but whatever. It was honestly one of the most amazing expereiences of my life and now, after having a taster of 7 cities I know where I want to return and how to backpack. Life skills indeed.

This post isn't going to be an in depth story of my trip as essay writing isn't my forte! But more of a montage of my photography from each place with a few anecdotes. As there are so many pictures, I will probably split the cities into 2 or 3 blog posts.
Hope you enjoy it, and if you don't already I would appreciate if you followed my bloglovin, you can find my link here, instagram here and subscribe to this blog, thaaaaankz x


FIRST STOP
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Starting off in the square, there's this huge monument, with (I'm assuming) jesus and disciples etc, and many enormous buildings. Amsterdam is quite 'toy town' like, colourful houses and small shops etc. Extremely pretty yet very very strange city..



(What I wore)
Vest Top - Gant
Shorts - Levi jeans, DIY cut
Lace undershorts - eBay
Rucksack - Kipling


Weirdly, like Venice.. although not like Venice as there are roads, each street is separated by canals.. that all look the same. Below is the canal in which our hostel The Bulldog (just in case you want to go) was located, bang in the middle of Dam Center and The Red Light District.



There was quite a lot of street art, I took pictures of some of my favourites. Below of course; Frida Kahlo, Mandela and I think some of the Sopranos?




We visited various iconic places, such as the Van Gogh Museum and Vondel Park. Vondel Park is the park mentioned in 'The Fault In Our Stars' sooo ye.



Here's me and karms, havin' a bubble in the park with the strange paper mache birds.





Anyway, onwards
SECOND STOP
Berlin, Germany

In Berlin we did this awesome tour of the underground art and graffiti movements, and I took millions of pictures, but here is just a few:


How cool, this astronaut below, when the sun illuminates a flag on a building opposite it, it lines up with the mans hand looking like he's placing it in the ground on the moon. That's brainy.





The YAAM bar was a Jamaican Beach Bar located next to part of the Berlin Wall, entirely run by people who live around it, it is a self sustaining place. Supposidly (although not very believable) the sand in the bar was transported from Jamaican Beaches. I got a really sassy pair of beaded earrings from here, and I shall feature them in a later post.




The final place we visited on the tour was a bar/graffiti location where it was legal for artists to come and paint on the walls as one guy owned it, meaning that weekly the art changed as new artists painted onto the walls.






This post is already really long, so I shall leave it at Amsterdam and Berlin. Hope you enjoyed it, and it inspires you to visit places we went to! More cities to come, keep an eye out for my next posts!

Tie-Dye Leggins






Leggins - American Apparel
Shirt - Dad's
Socks - Probably M&S Childrens Range, the beauty of small feet
Shoes - Reebok Classics
Scrunchie - DIY


I am aware of the awful quality of these pictures... Not too sure what happened, the lighting was way off and blown out in half of them and unfocused in others, they almost look like disposables, weird. Anyway, these leggins are seriously old, got them from that yearly sale thingy that AA do in Brick lane where they sort of get rid of old stock and odd sizes for reeeally cheap prices, worth going too. (If you happen to know when the next one is, tell me and Ill add it onto this post.) 

The dog featured is my lavley cocker spaniel Archie, he was an unintentional feature but the reason that I am facing away from the camera in most pictures. He thought it would be funny to roll in his own poo...

Yeah, so. This isn't an 'inspo' fashion post, just a very 'me' outfit, which basically consists of an outfit muddle of childish socks with a ridiculously over-sized top, although 'over-sized' isn't hard to achieve seeing as I'm a mere 5'3"! And obviously, my classics. If I could, I would wear my Reeboks to everything, comfiest shoes in the world. And I know, comfy isn't normally the way forward with fashion, as everyone discovered when Crocs and Huaraches came out. But these are seriously amazing. I wouldn't say I am that into trainers as I don't really get the hype of owning 30 pairs of various Air Max's, I'm much more of a heels fan. But whatever, I do like classic trainers, and as long as they don't resemble running trainers I'll probably like them. Hoops are another item that can be styled in any way imaginable, ranging from 'Chavy' (1) to 'Chola' (2)
eg....

Exhibit 1-
Matt Lucas as Vicky Pollard in Little Britain

Exhibit 2-

But that is mainly down to personal style, and whether you define yourself as a Vicky Pollard or a Gretchen Wieners. Basically.... hoops are fresh.





Anyway, always get to sidetracked by mean girls GIFs lol.
Hope you enjoyed this, big luv to all ma readers!!!
