Scotland

 Over half term, I ventured down to Scotland with my lovely friend Alice. It was so beautiful and today I thought I would share my photos and also my vlog from the trip.










This is my favourite nail polish ever. It's a hazel-grace-dark-blue-almost-black-colour (technical name is Maxfactor 'cloudy blue') and it's amazing.





The coolest (and only) tree house I've ever set foot in.






Finally, here's the vlog. More posts about Scotland coming soon.

Statement shorts & Mallorca vlog

Hello! Unfortunately this is the last outfit post with Edie in it for this Summer! It was our last shoot in Mallorca but I love how the photos turned out. We shot in a street in the town where everything is so rustic and pretty.




Edie wears:

Top - Benetton
Shorts - Benetton
Shoes - Zara

Lexi wears:

T-shirt - LOFT
Shorts - Asos
Shoes - Next
Bandanna - Rokit


I also want to talk about my new favourite rings. This is my go-to combo now (I'm actually wearing them as I type). The purple stone one I found at Portobello market the other day. It's really mystical and totally reminds me of the ring in Howl's Moving Castle which keeps you safe. Ah the magical witchy vibes. The other I found in H&M in a set for £1 - bargain!

Studio Ghibli films are the best <3

fancy pants

Title to be read in a sarcastic American accent (or not it's up to you really).

These outfit pictures were taken in an adorable old town in Mallorca called Pollenca. It was unbearably hot, hence the lack of jewellery and layering but I think this outfit is actually pretty cool. 





Top - Forever 21
Trousers - Urban renewal range at UO (restyled vintage)
Sandals - Next
Flower crown - Boutique in Pollenca
Sunglasses - Primark

Firstly, I am so in love with my new Next flip flops/sandals. The holographic band across the front is so cool. The flower crown I found in a sweet Boutique in the town which also sold the most beautiful jewellery. I'm so happy about my sunglasses. I bought them to replace a pair I had last year which broke. I don't really buy much from Primark because (a) I like things to not break within the first week of buying them and (b) I don't agree with the way their clothes are produced. But I had to make an exception for these wonderful hippy shades as they are my all time favourite shape. Here are some other photos from around the town!


This was taken at the top of this giant staircase. And yes, I did climb every single one of those steps right from the bottom. I was nearly dead by the end of it.


It was so pretty and since we were there in Fiesta week, there was this beautiful white confetti and bunting hung up all over.


Have you guys been anywhere this Summer?

which witch

Hello everyone! I'm currently on a school activities week called Theatreland where we basically watch plays, go to galleries and hang around central London. It's pretty cool. These pictures were taken on the Southbank which is a very fun place. There are street performers, buildings to explore and always lots going on. Best of all, the majority of things are free to explore aka day trip heaven. This was my attire, which I think has witchy vibes because of the choker and the boots. 





Thanks to Sky for the photos
Lucky cat top - H&M
Skirt - Sweden
Boots - thrifted/charity shop
Bag - Kanken 
Choker necklace - brother's old
L necklace - Oliver Bonus
Cuff - Nu (Pure London goody bag)

We looked around this huge used book stall where I found this sweet illustrated book about the provinces of France. 



It's been a good week. Expect various gallery and play reviews soon.

MUN - Pictures & vlog

Hello all! Sorry for my absence this past week but the weekend was spent at my MUN conference and the weekdays have been spent catching up on missed work. If you haven't read my last post, MUN is Model United Nations. Each school represents a country and you're assigned a committee where you talk about politics and issues from that country's perspective. I was Saudi Arabia Political committee, which was interesting, especially as I had to talk about womens' rights (and I'm a feminist). I spoke a lot and debated some really interesting issues. I also met so many new people. If you get a chance to do any MUN conference, I would really recommend it! This post is going to be some of my photos from the trip. Also my friend Aliya vlogged it so you can see that here too.


The best part about MUN is the note passing. You write a note to whoever and address it to the country and committee of the person, then the messengers come and take it and deliver it to them. This is how I met Kirsty (above). I sent a note to her about how much I loved her knitted hair bows and her style in general (think kawaii, cute and smart). She replied telling me she made them herself, which I thought was so cool. I asked her if I could photograph them and she kindly agreed so here they are.

I didn't get a chance to take many photos (except for cheesy selfies in Scottish hats) but I did take these slow shutter speed ones when Aliya and I were exploring our hotel at night. At first they were an accident, but then I liked the sci-fi effect and took a couple more.



And finally here is the vlog! Aliya has a great Youtube channel so subscribe okay?
That's my MUN post! I'll be back to regular blogging soon, especially as Easter holidays are just around the corner.

Lexi's travels - Covent garden, London

SO I live in London as you probably know but I still think this counts as a travel adventure because day trips - hello? Anyway so some wonderful friends and I went to Covent garden and it is one of my favourite places. It is full of inspiration and cool stuff. Also you can do lots of really cool things there for little money  - yay! Here is what we did.


I insta-ed this picture (@lexi-law) with these animazomb toy things. They were really cool. 

I wore  my swedish tartan dress with these super jazzy tights I found at the bottom of my draw.
We had lunch at the amazing five guys - really good burgers.
Some of us signed their wall of fame.
We went to see the benefit bus - aka most girliest and fabulous bus ever - which was giving away free samples! Yay for free mascara! All we did was show that we followed them on instagram or facebook and we could choose a free sample of the They're real mascara or the Porefessional.
And here is all the wonderful junk I received (yes I know the picture is upside down but blogger is being a fussy thing atm so please make do for now). All of it was free except for the Japanese teddy sweets (you know my obsession with teddies) and the bandanna which I found at THE COOLEST vintage store called Rokit.  But yes all the rest of it was free, badges, leaflets, stickers, postcards, mascara samples and a free LFW paper. Hazah! Like I said if you want to go somewhere on a budget which is inspiring, full of culture and free things, go to Covent garden. Look past the designer stores and peep round some corners - you are bound to find something cool there.

You can look at Rokit's website HERE.

much love

Lexi's travels - Leucate, France

For the last two weeks of Summer, I was in Leucate which is a small village in the South of France. I spent lots of time with my wonderful friend Edie who lives in France. It was a family holiday spent mostly on the beach so this post is going to be a collection of the odd photos from my trip.

We stayed in a very small rustic villa but it was very pretty.



We went to some beautiful restaurants like this Spanish one.



I held the moon in my hands..


On one really windy day when we couldn't face being sand blasted on the beach, we drove to another nearby village called Perpignon. It was full of cute little streets and graffiti.






I had the most amazing ice cream too. In France they have a very popular coffee ice cream with sugary coffee beans in it. It's delicious!



With no wifi, Edie and I had to find other ways to entertain ourselves. We found a set of jenga blocks and we came up with some pretty cool things like a sky line, a palace outline, a man, some buildings and dominoes too.






I ate some wonderful seafood like these razor clams.




I

In a little village tapestry store I found this little doll dress with shorts and thought it was the cutest thing! I had to buy it.



Now Lexingtons, it has come to the time where you should meet Ted the bear. As you know, I love to travel and ever since I was little I have taken Ted with me as my travelling partner and I take photos of her in all the different places we go! I never thought to share them on my blog but I  thought Ted could have her own occasional segment in travel posts; she is quite a character. So here is the very first Ted travels!



What do you think? I had a great time in Leucate and got some lovely photos. Ted had a good time too.

Much love
