Sorry, I'm soo late posting about this and unfortunately, the Isle of Dogs exhibition has now ended in London. It was on for about a week and I was lucky enough to just catch it, especially because I'm not really even in London at the minute (Easter Break). I have yet to see the movie but I'm a huge fan of many of Wes Anderson's other films including Fantastic Mr Fox, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Fantastic Mr Fox may be my favourite which is why I'm so glad to see that Wes has created another stop-motion animated movie.

As for the exhibition, it was at 180 The Strand which is where they hold London Fashion Week too. There was a noodle bar as you walk in (which wasn't selling any noodles at the time but was selling water) followed by a big room full of miny snippets of each set. It was very busy and Bea and I had to queue to get in, but only for 15 minutes or so. Totally worth going however, it's just such a shame it was only on for a week!

Hopefully, I can see the film at some point, if you have already seen it let me know in the comments below.

On a side note, I'm currently collecting answers to a questionnaire I'm doing about the potential for a sort of commuting, lifestyle, fashion magazine based in London as part of my university work. It's in its very verrrryy early stages and the questionnaire might seem a little vague right now but I would appreciate any feedback if you have a moment to fill it out!

(it's all anonymous too, and the website says it takes just under 2 minutes to fill out)

Previous trip to Brighton

I'm so glad we decided to go to Brighton yesterday. The weather finally picked up, the sun was out and I had ice cream on the beach before coming home. I bought some Nike tracksuit bottoms from Beyond Retro for £16 with student discount (bar-gain) went to 4 different coffee shops, walked on the pier, potentially got sunburnt and I've never wished I owned a dog more in my life.

Places we visited:
Beyond Retro (an amazing vintage store) 
Richard's Cafe
Bread & Milk (maybe my favourite cafe in Brighton)
Magazine Brighton 
Infinity Foods Shop and Bakery
The Coffee Break by Edendum (10/10 banana bread)
West Pier Tea Room
Family Store (sells zines, patches and really cool pin badges) 
+ more shops we just popped into

I tried on some Rayban Hexagonal Flat Lenses with gold frames and now I really want a pair..

Getting to Brighton:
Trains run from many different stations across London, but the Gatwick Express from Victoria takes just under an hour.

Ages and ages ago I was lucky enough to go to the Glossier pop up shop in London. All the ladies helping out were rocking these amazing baby pink boilersuits and ever since then I've always looked at overalls and thought... maybe I could wear one. Perhaps it's Instagram's algorithm or it could be that someone knows something I don't, but lately, I've been seeing a lot more photos of boilersuits on my feed than normal, is it time to buy one? Is this a sign?

Introducing M.C.Overalls - or the brand behind the surge in boilersuit related images on my feed and the account I stumbled upon for overall inspiration. Glossier don't currently sell their baby pink boilersuit (why?) but I've found an alternative one on M.C.Overalls that fits the bill. Am I tempted? Yes. This would only supplement my reckless clothing purchases and add to the now expanding portion of my wardrobe titled "this looked great when I tried it in the store and now I don't know what to do with it but I may wear it at some point".

Say Yes to boilersuits.
