A month of shopping

Now, let's have a hot cup of tea (or mocha, your choice) and think about this past month. I landed back to Finland on Sunday and spent two holiday days in Helsinki with my friend and I also met my sister for a long while.
Now I'm at home and I sorta feel like having post-travel-depression. I've spent whole month around people all the time and now suddenly I sit alone in the dark room. That's the first problem I must pass, I used to love spending a lot of time alone and suddenly it's a massive problem.
Also I feel blank right now; what now? what's next? This was the big trip I waited? What now? In shower today I got feeling that the trip never happened and it's still coming.
No Elisa, it's over.

Okay, now something happier.
I opened my suitcase and put everything I've bought for myself to one pile and took a picture of it. First I thought that I make post about those here, but maybe I just show some of them and tell something of those things.


Skittles
I fell for Skittles in UK, I bought first a small bag of Crazy Sour Skittles and then immediately I was sold.


Harry Potter stuff
I bought a lot of Harry Potter stuff for Mira so I needed something for myself too. I found this top from Camden Town and Hogwarts top came to Primark after couple weeks.


Treats
In UK we ate a lot of Tesco's 'meal deals' which included sandwiches or pasta salad, small bag of chips and a drink. I tried these cool looking chips and in some weird way I liked them a lot. Lilac bag is pickled onion and yellow bag is roast beef.
Cadbury is chocolate factory in Birmingham so I want to try their chocolate (because no chocolate has won Fazer). And M&S had these cute Where's Wally - chocolates.


Television shows
I have now all Sherlock seasons on my shelf and I decided before this trip that I try to find Vicious DVD. Merlin was spontaneous need. I love Merlin and especially the first season is so gold. Of course there was so many other shows too like Miranda, Doctor Who, Adventure Time, Supernatural and even Gimme Gimme Gimme.


Jewels
I didin't buy a lot of jewels like I usually do. I bought from Claire's earrings for me and for my friend. I bought her doughnut earrings and for myself these skulls. In airport I went to Accessories store and found immediately this cute anklet. Oh summer, I wait for you!


Doctor Who
Also as a big Doctor Who fan I bought some gems. I bought sonic screwdriver key chain for my old work friend. For myself I found perfect Doctor Who poster (from episode where Vincent Van Gogh painted this and because I admire Van Gogh's paintings and this was so like his real style) in sale there was Dalek key chain and then my first Doctor Who item, the magazine.


Tea lover
My school gal wanted this Twinings 'mango & strawberry' tea and when I found it I had to buy same for myself too and next to it was this other delicious name 'cherry & cinnamon'. I bet those both are amazeballs.


Also I bought Adventure Time cup. I had hard decision of what kind of mug I buy. Long while I was so sure about Princess Bubblegum but then I decided to take this where are also Princess Bubblegum but also Jake, Finn and Lady Rainicorn.
Also you can see that my fab Adventure Time dress arrived. It's so globbing amazing.

desires for Wes Anderson movies and skittles

(kirjoitettu koulun tietokoneella*)

Vaikka kyseenalaistan UO:n periaatteita, on liha heikko. Olen kaynyt armottomasti liikaa pyorimassa Urban Outfitterissa ja loytanyt milloin minka uuden ihanuuden, mutta olen myos jokaisella kerralla hillinnyt itseni koska hinta on myos sen mukaista.
Rakastuin Lontoossa eraaseen paitaan, jota ei taalla Birminghamissa ole ja aivan ihanaan harmaaseen villaneuleeseen, myos pusakkamainen farkkutakki on lahella kaynyt mukaanlahtemista mutta mielestani 55£ on hieman suolainen hinta.
Olen kuitenkin yrittanyt tahyilla samantyyppisia vaatteita muualta halvemmalla. Silti ne alkuperaiset houkuttavat vain enemman. Mutta ei, en halua laittaa niin suurta summaa likoon vaatekappaleen vuoksi.*


(Tämä osa kirjoitettu puhelimella jee)

Löysin tänään aivan ihanan neuletakin H&M:ltä ja odotan että pääsen ottamaan asukuvia sen kanssa.


Huomenna viimeinen koulupäivä täällä Brittilandiassa ja illalla aikomus vihdoin mennä katsomaan Wes Andersonin uusin luomus vanhaan elokuvateatteriin, eli Grand Budapest Hotel ♥

Saint Liverpool

On monday our teacher came pick us up with mini bus and we (with Prague students) went to Liverpool. I was so tired because of London weekend and all that walking around but we didin't want to miss free opportunity to see Liverpool.
A lot of The Beatles things everywhere. Some candy store has The Beatles picture behind the window made of some kind of Skittles,The Beatles museum, buses, streets, cards etc. You name it, they had it in store.
We visited two cathedrals, old and the modern one. I didin't like the modern that much. Only thing I liked was stories of Saints. They had stories of Saint Therese and her sisters abd family. I love saints and martyrs.
Old cathedral was beautiful but one thing I dont like with every cathedrals here is how all those are so commercialed. They all have some kind of gift shop and Birmingham's also have cafe.
After religion part we got an hour time to go shopping. We went to this street wear shop which had Adventure Time clothes on window. I liked also their male assistant who had rainbow hair mowhak, beard and sang Kings of Leon song.
After that we came back to hostel and spent last night in different room with sexy 20's glitter kitch kinda wallpaper and good internet connection. Now we live again in this small room with bad wifi.
