Vlogtober pt 6: Shopping with InTheFrow + What I Bought at Bicester Village | Hello October

It is Tuesday. I've just left Ryan's. I'm having a slightly later start this morning because my body was just like, needed the rest. So it was really sweet. Made me a coffee in bed. I was just loving life, doing my emails with my coffee. It was great. And on my way, I'm gonna do road work. I'm gonna smash some Instagram content today. I've got some rounded stuff that I need to prep. So it's just going to be a real worky day. So hopefully I will have time to fit like a nice little coffee break in or something like that. Um, but yeah, I'm going to try and not rush around too much because I feel like when I do that and I'm not very well, I just tend to stay ill for about a million years. So, um, yeah, just kind of gonna like plod along and get everything done, but like slow and steady instead of like rushing around doing everything. And hopefully it should be a very successful day. I always find on days like this, it's just easier just to kind of start, just start your to-do list, even when you're not feeling very well. I just kind of start it and try and just like make my way through and not put too much pressure on myself. But like, once I finish one thing, I do the next and it's just like steady progress. Um, and I always find that like, I feel guilty for like having an actual sick day. Um, cause I don't really have one. Um, but yeah, I still get lots of stuff done and I can't just be like, oh, I'm ill and I'm not getting anything done. It's all good. So yeah, I'm excited to have a productive day despite feeling like amen. So I got home this morning and had a little rejig of this room, which was really unintentional. Um, it was just looking kind of messy and I started tidying and before I knew it, I was rearranging things. So yeah, this is what we're looking at. This room is like an L shape. So there's more up here. I'm not going to show you cause it's still a mess and we're still sorting through things, uh, ready for this weekend. My friend Carla is coming to help me kind of sort through my clothes, organise my wardrobe. Um, and she's actually going to come style some outfits for me for a video, which I'm really excited about. So yeah, this is my little kind of dressing area and I really, I'm really happy with it actually. I wasn't sure at first, but it's really growing on me. It looks a lot brighter on camera right now than it is in real life. It is a little bit shadowy. So, um, I don't know if this will be an area that I film in a lot. I need studio lights even when this is just my background and I'm facing the light. So we'll see, but it's got like a nice section of studio lights as well. So it's nice for like getting ready for a night out type thing. Um, yeah, actually really happy with it. I can see myself getting dressed here a lot more now before my, uh, rail was like directly behind where you can see me now. Um, but yeah, really happy with this actually. All started because I literally wanted to hang that there for a picture and before I knew it, I'd rearranged the whole room. I'm actually really happy with this. The only thing I'm thinking of changing is this seat, which if you watch my Instagram, you might have already seen me mention. Um, but yeah, I think I might go for something a bit more modern, maybe a little bit more Scandinavian, but I'm not sure because this mirror is obviously like a very old style vibe, um, which it looks fine with these, I guess cause it's white. So, um, yeah, I'm not entirely sure. I'm kind of going to sit with it for a little bit. I just know that this is a bit bulky on the arms, like especially here, it kind of cuts off your view of the rail, which could be a blessing or a curse depending on what state the rails in. Um, but yeah, I also need something that will go with my side table because I love these side tables so much. They're like a marble with a gold, um, leg and they're really beautiful and I'm not getting rid of it. Um, I have them in green in my bedroom as well and I just really, really love them. Um, I'll link them if I can, but I'm not sure if they're still on sale, but they were from Swoon Editions. I'm going to stop talking now cause my voice, I feel like, is getting like increasingly worse, uh, and it's really hard to like project anything right now. But yeah, this is a little sneak peek of my rail. Tried to do a little bit of retail spacing. I'm not very good at it, but, um, Carla always shows me how she does it when she comes around and she makes it look beautiful. So I'm really excited for this weekend now and to just really sort my wardrobe out. I feel like I really want to streamline my wardrobe. Like I really enjoy dressing from a rail. Um, I kind of have my daily stuff, like my tops, like bodies, stuff like this, jackets and everything in my wardrobe. Um, but then I fill this with like things I want to wear, things I want to give attention to, anything that's like a little bit newer that I want to and then I have like my other wardrobe, which is more for like evening dresses and things like that. Um, and I really want to free a lot of space in it up so that I can use it for kind of other things. So yeah, um, I'm going to stop talking now, um, and get on with my day, but yeah, I just really want to show you this room cause I'm really excited about it. I'm really happy with it. So pretty. This is the black bag. Uh, you can kind of see it better in daylight from West 22. I'm really happy with it. I haven't taken the strap off of it or anything yet, but the quality is just lovely. I'm super, super happy with it. And then we've got the little nude one here, which I might wear this afternoon. So beautiful. So, so beautiful. I'm just getting ready to go out and we've just realized when I do a hair tuck, this is the highlight of my day. I need to get my hair cut. Dead. Literally dead. Snazzy. Hello. I really like these. Yeah, these are very new. And the boots. Yeah, I know. Did you just say honey? Victoria, the dog whisperer. What's in the bag? That should be a thing. Can you do Vicks PO box? Cause I would watch that. Oh, hello. Oh my God. Oh my God. Those are my favourite doughnuts. It's doughnut time. Oh my God. They're in London. They have them in East London and near Covent Garden. They're so good. Oh my God. We need to compare. Yeah. We have come to Vista Village this morning to visit the pop-up that is here with British Fashion Council and Vista Village. And it basically has, I think it's 30. I will correct myself on screen if I'm wrong. 30 British designers here that you can't get anywhere else. So like Sophia Webster, Mother of Pearl, like so, so many brands that don't have a concession here normally. And you can buy them at Vista Village in this space. So there's Sophia Webster shoes here that I am eyeing up. I'm very excited. There's actually so many beautiful things. Victoria is over here trying on a gorgeous blazer, which I really love. Let me see. Let me see. Oh, I love, I really love those. I actually really like them. Do you? Yeah. They look really good with those trousers as well. Yeah. Maybe I'll try the toe just in case. We are in Dior having a little look slash shop. I haven't been shopping with Queen in the Fro in years and years and years and years. And let me tell you, it is a magical experience. Here we go. Which pair of this, which, what number pair is this? Third pair? I'm really enjoying this. What do you think? There's definitely no real date on these. I much prefer those. Do you really? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. I've also got another black one. Oh my god, they have my Balenciaga but in like tiny in blue. That's so cute. Oh my god, I would definitely buy from Balenciaga here. Oh yes. Put a scarf around the neck right fashion week just to make it look a bit better. I've done that once. I saw myself. I've done that once. Yeah. I'll send it to you. I've definitely done it. Take the piss. We're done at Vista Village. We've had some food. We've done some shopping and I will show you what I picked up maybe in this vlog. I'm very, very excited and you're excited for your shoes. So excited about my boots. They're very pretty. Boots, plural, not because you call a pair plural. Because you want a pair of pairs. We are going to drive home now. I'm very excited to get home and taken up to be honest. It's been exhausting shopping with you. I've loved it. It's been great. I've loved it. Right, see you at home. Bye. Good morning, everybody. Today it is Thursday. I had the best day yesterday. Like I actually think it will go down as one of those days, you know, you remember like a really nice day. I think it's going to be one of those memories. Like I just had the nicest time with and I just feel like so happy now. Also, so very exhausted. I've just been sleeping really badly lately. So yeah, feeling a little bit tired. I've had a slow start this morning, just been doing some worky bits and then I just gave this area a little tidy up. I'm trying to just get into a habit of keeping things really tidy. So yeah, it's all nice and tidy now. And I thought I would show you what I picked up yesterday at Vista Village. I think I might have said, but I haven't been shopping with Victoria in years, years and years. And it was fun. It was an experience. Yeah, I had a very good time and I picked something up. Lots of you will remember from my Instagram, I mentioned that I went into Selfridges on my birthday and I didn't buy myself anything, which I do feel it happens more and more now. Like I go to buy myself something and I just don't end up buying it and I'll back out. So yeah, it's good in a way. But yeah, I ended up finding something that I really loved at Vista Village and they very kindly gave us a little like discount card as well. So it was great because Vista Village is discounted anyway. So we had a little discount on top as well, which was great. So I'm really happy with what I picked up and it was a little bit more purse friendly than it would have been if I'd have bought myself anything in Selfridges. So I'm going to show you what I picked up. So excited. I just can't wait for it to be out the bag. This has been a test on my patience. Where can I put you? Just almost smashed another one of these glass frames. They don't last very long in this apartment. I'm still lingering there, but it's just not as up in my grill. So it's obviously a little something, not a big something, but this is my new addition to the bag family. This is the new addition to my family. It's this little like box bag and it's got this strap, which you can actually like extend. It pops out and goes a little bit longer or you can change the strap on it. But I just like the fact that it's a little like cold bag and also doubles as a clutch because you can just hold it like that. And it's just got a really simple kind of magnetic flap system. It's like this beautiful mauve-y grey pink colour from Dior, as you could have seen from the duster bag. It's beautiful. I'm so happy with it. I really love it and I really love the antique gold. I'm kind of into that at the moment, which is a first for me because I'm not normally. But yeah, I just really, really love it. It's so beautiful. I just saw it on the counter. Someone had obviously been trying it on and they put it down and I was just like, mine now, you're mine. They weren't still there by the way. I didn't just like take their bag they were trying on. It was like left all alone and I was like, yes, you can come home with me. And I literally sat in the shop like this for a very long time whilst we were looking at shoes for Victoria. I was just sitting there like yeah, this feels right. When you know, you know, you know. But yeah, I love it so much. So, so happy. So yeah, that is it for my little bag unboxing. I'm going to go get on and do some work now and get this video sorted that is going up today. And then I have PT later. So, keep praying. I will know if you stop praying. Good morning, everybody. So today is Sunday. I thought I'd come in here and end this vlog now. It's been quite a gap since the last thing you saw, which I think was on Thursday. So Thursday night, things kind of took a bit of a turn for the worse. And I was really, really poorly, like so ill and my body basically just like shut down for a good two days. So today is like the first day I've properly left the house. I actually got stuck at Ryan's. So I was literally there for two days and I just couldn't move. I couldn't come home. Like it was not good. The ending of this vlog is really ironic compared to, why am I not in focus? Compared to the beginning of it where I was like, yeah, I'm sick, but it's fine. I'm just going to like get through. Everything's going to be great. Like I'll just like take things slower, but actually you need a sick day. Yeah. I'm always a bit naive in the not taking a sick day. And especially when you're surrounded by people, I have two people in my life that are like, no, you need to rest. And everyone else is like, you'll be fine. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. And actually sometimes no, you won't be fine. So I need to get better at learning to take more sick days because I cannot repeat the last two days ever again, because it was actually horrendous. Um, so yeah, take your sick days. Don't be like Suze cause she's an idiot. So today Carla is coming over and we're going to be reorganizing my wardrobe. Very, very excited for that. So you'll see that in the next vlog. Um, but yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. Um, would have liked to put to be a bit longer, but I've been knocked out for like two days. So can't be helped. But anyway, I'm off to shower because my hair is literally like it needs, it's so overdue a wash. It's unreal. Um, and I need to put some makeup on. My skin actually isn't too bad though. It doesn't look like an ashtray anymore. I neither look nor sound like an ashtray. Well, my voice is actually still a little bit grim, but I'm looking a damn sight better than I have. So very happy. It's good to be back. Hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you again soon. Bye.
