For me the best part of the trip was catching up with everybody from those good old days! I travelled up from Bristol with another friend who harks back from way back then!! We arrived at lunch time, leaving us a couple of hours to hotfoot it around Oxford Street for a spot of shopping! First stop was Jo Malone for the birthday girl. We then had a quick flit around Topshop, H&M and Zara but I had set my sights on securing this little number from Uniqlo.
This fab little black and white check gingham shirt was £19.90 and I have to say for the price it is excellent quality. It's a very fine cotton, definitely Spring weight......so lovely I wore it home on Sunday and I have it on again today......maybe that's just a little bit too much information!! Anyway with our shopping done we headed off to meet up with more friends as were all staying at the Hoxton Hotel in Shoreditch. The Hoxton is fab for anyone wanting to stay that side (east) of London. It's a great place to hang out and chill and it was an excellent base for where we were going as the birthday girl lives nearby in Bethnal Green. We arrived and had a couple of cocktails with our host before heading off to our rooms to get ready. My one regret is that I didn't take more photos but I shall share with you what I got!
We spent most of our time hanging around in the bar reception area......I would have happliy have stayed rooted here for the whole weekend as it was the perfect place for people watching! As you can see by the pram....they cater for everybody!
The bedrooms were fab too! Love the humongous mirror! No good for selfies though!
The view was amazing!
Some shots of party time!
Here's a flavour of how the food was served up!
This is the best shot of my outfit I could come up with! Don't you just love the goggles!! Looking all very etheral too!

Think I pitched this outfit perfectly! I did take the recently purchased Jaeger dress but as we ended up in a couple of proper east end pubs, I'm glad I went with the vintage top and trews!
