LIFE: A Shopping Trip in Nottingham

A little while ago now, me and my boyfriend managed to get some time off together and decided to do some retail therapy in Nottingham. I didn't take many photos mostly because I was taken up with shopping and I simply wanted to enjoy my day. The weather wasn't particularly bright and it was quite cloudy all day which meant that our initial plans to wander up to Nottingham Castle wasn't something we wanted to do. But I'm sure we will visit soon because it's been years since I've been and I like history.

Instead we simply headed for the shops. As it was the middle of the month I decided not to go too crazy. On my list of places to go were Lush, Urban Outfitters and Topshop. Where I live we don't have Lush or Urban Outfitters so these are two places I always go when I visit a city and I was in need of jeans from Topshop. Anyway, I picked up a couple of bath bombs from Lush whilst Scott went looking for new trainers finding my favourite, Ickle Baby Bot, I also picked up Big Blue and they had Hoppity Poppity left from their easter collection which was simply too cute not to pick up.

(I forgot to take a picture of my food because I was too hungry so this is the best I could do, sorry guys) 

The two of us decided to take a break from looking around shops and decide what we actually wanted to purchase and chose to get some dinner. We were originally going to go to Nando's as neither of us have ever been before but we both caved for burgers and chose to go to Five Guys instead. I really enjoyed the food, in fact I took one bite out of my burger and said, 'oh  my god, that is good'. I like the retro diner style to the place and the fact that you can pick what toppings you have on your burger. Scott particularly liked the drinks machine which had vanilla coke - easily pleased. I have been recommending Five Guys to all my friends because it's probably one of the best burgers I've had and it has a nice, relaxed atmosphere to it.

After finishing up eating, we went back to the shops. I picked up two tops from Urban Outfitters and a small present for my mum from Disney store. The top above is one of the tops from Urban Outfitters, I just love the cold shoulder and the detail on the shoulder line, it's a mustard and green triangle stripe, this is also on the back where there is a low V down the back. I'm obsessed with this  t-shirt, it's very flowy and light. Our trip to Urban Outfitters lead to me and Scott deciding to buy a record player the following weekend but that's a post for another day. It was a really nice day together and I always love picking up a few treats for myself.

What have you been up to lately?
