On Wednesday I took a quick trip to Bristol to meet up with my two friends, Jess and Sarah, who I haven't seen since our Graduation in November last year!
Of course we have kept in touch via Facebook and Twitter, but it's just not the same as meeting in real life. We decided to meet in Bristol as I live close by in Weston Super Mare, Jess was visiting in the midsts of her moving here and Sarah was close by in Swindon, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity! Thankfully the Riots were coming to an end and there hadn't been any more trouble in Bristol since Tuesday night so we went ahead and met up at the station and began a day of shopping! We stopped off for lunch in McDonalds and had a long chat about everything we've been up to, and of course, jobs!
We had a good mooch around the shops in Cabot Circus but I was trying hard not to spend too much. Luckily my nan gave me £10 the day before, which I used to buy an Urban Outfitters Cooperative Structured Cross-Body Bag that was just £10 down from £38! It was actually down to Sarah that I found this bag as she had picked up the white and brown version. I quickly moved over to where she was and found the brown/black version. I love love live it so much but I'm so annoyed that I've already managed to scratch it!
It's quite roomy inside but my purse takes up a lot of room as it's so big. I love the structured boxy feel of it and it is by far my biggest bargain of the week!
Isn't is a beaut? My satchel from Primark completely wimped out on me when the strap snapped clean off so I was due a new one! Amazingly this was the only thing I brought but when I'm back in Bristol for my work experience next week, I'm sure I'll pick a up a few other bits and pieces.
It was great to catch up with Jess and Sarah and even though we hadn't seen eachother since last year, there was no awkwardness about it, it was just like old times again. :)
