Thursday was a blast!
Today was full of shopping fun but not for me! I took dear sister Lilliana back to school shopping. Has anyone ever taken their 12 yr old sister back to school shopping? Let me tell you...no easy feat!
Of course we had to make our first stop at TopShop. Where we found amazing oversized deep v-neck sweaters, thinly knit grandpa cardigans, footless tights, Victorian dresses, skinny belts and then some all for her fashion delight. She was very reserved when it came to picking out the things she thought fit to enter her wardrobe. Remember she is 12 and at that age you get made fun of for being too well dressed!
We then went to American Apparel which is not quite as well known in the UK as its father in America. Nonetheless we found a ridiculously amazing glittering purple one piece swimming costume, as required by the school clothing list. No one said 70s disco queen wasn't allowed! And then we trekked around for a good hour and a half looking for a store that stocked Keds, lace up variety, in her size. But we found them finally at Schuh, having stopped at many many stores and she was happy to try on her whole outfit to shrieked of glee from the dressing room. Where I was not allowed to snap a photo sadly so you'll have to imagine it.

That night we went to see Mary Poppins.
HOWEVER! I was not quite as enthralled by the West End musical as I usually am by the Disney movie. Yes I am still enthralled by the Disney musical!
