The Girl Next Door: ~Lukes Birthday in London~

~Lukes Birthday in London~

By The Girl Next Door 14:00 lifestyle, places

So Luke has been a dear friend of mine for a while, so we had an entire weekend to celebrate his birthday! Luke loves going up London (as do I) so we decided to go from Brick Lane to Oxford Circus, looking in every vintage shop we could find; trust me, there's bloody loads of em. I wore my trusty MOM jeans and my new white Vans since I knew we'd be walking everywhere.We stopped off in one of Luke's favourite cafes so I could give him his birthday present (A StarLord Mug and Peanut Hottie drink).

As always, Luke and I were hungry, so we ventured to Shoreditch and had breakfast at Cereal Killer Cafe.

For those of you who don't know, Cereal Killer is a cafe that exclusively serves cereal. Yup. That's it. Except its cereal from all around the world and they make combos to create delectable creations; from Unicorn Poop to Cinnamon Crunch, (heck you can even make up a combo with your choice of flavoured milk!) it was definitely an experience I would recommend. I even had a PB&J Pop Tart while I was there. The staff were all bubbly and fun which is always a plus for me, it can get a bit busy but there's window stalls and a downstairs to chill out.

Now, I'm a sucker for great food and vintage markets. Luckily, Brick Lane has a butt load. I didn't get many photos since the majority of people don't like photos in their stores but I sneakily managed to get a few shots while walking about.

~We didn't buy much there but Luke bought a hat (hes so cute when he giggles)~

~And I picked up a shirt which I'll use more like a light denim jacket~

Nearing the end of the day our tummys were rumbling again and we were craving a chill out and few drinks, so we went to probably one of the best restaurants I have been to in a while: MEAT LIQUOR.

Serves what it says, meat and booze. Luke had been there before so ordered us both the Dead Hippie Burger (weird right?) it had 2 juicy burgers, cheese, a few leaves and Hippie Sauce. Now, what's Hippie Sauce I hear you ask? Dunno. All I know is that it is devine. It's almost like burger sauce but 100000 times better. They even do the chips with all the works including the magic sauce. My fries were delightful and smothered in cheese (naturally) and I easily finished every morsel, completely satisfied afterwards.

We came home and collapsed on our beds absolutely knackered and I couldn't wait to get into my comfys. Sunday Luke I didn't really get dressed, watching films all day. The only time we did move is when we went out with his family for a meal at Chaquitos (Can't spell) having more meat and booze. I dragged a dress from my wardrobe I hadn't worn in a while since it was the perfect combo of smart-casual.
