Hiiii!! I went on a spontaneous trip to London to meet some friends and attend Vkei Night (I had just gotten my payoff from the job I had for the past winter so I had money to spend on something like that😭) and I wore some really cool outfits which I'll be showing off now!! But before that I will be giving some song recommendations to go with today's theme... The Vkei Night was gothic themed so today's songs will be gothic visual kei!! This is an insane opportunity to mention my favorite band D'espairsRay since they're literally a gothic visual kei band... Their music also counts as nu metal and industrial and and and-

After having spent the previous night at the airport because of poor train connections I didn't look nor feel very fresh once I got to London but it got a bit better after I got some food and coffee in my system... I spent most of the day with a friend, in the morning we met at Camden Town where I had already wanted to visit last year on my London trip but hadn't had time. We got lunch, walked around the market and visited shops, and got coffee (my friend got tea like a real Bri'ish person). There were so many cool stores with insanely cool stuff that I wanted to buy but I only ended up getting another skull for my collection.

In the afternoon after I had checked in at my hotel and freshened up and changed my outfit we went out again and took some cool pictures. I took my digital camera with me this time and the vibes of that camera are sooo dreamy and out of this world, it's just unfortunate that the camera eats batteries and you have to change them really often :(.
I made this skirt myself and this far it is my coolest creation. I'm really happy with how it turned out cause it was way more complicated than anything I've made before!

I spent most of the day at my hotel drinking vodka mixed with various other drinks while reading Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire, only going out to eat late lunch/early dinner again in Camden Town. When it started getting late I got ready to meet up with friends and go to Vkei Night! I was really nervous cause I had never met these friends in real life but once again I was nervous for no reason, they were so cool and I had a lot of fun.
Anyway as a certified Uruha of The GazettE lover and specifically blue haired baby Uruha from pre-Gazetto times, I based my Vkei Night look on his iconic Ma'die Küsse look. Considering that it was going to be really hot I didn't exactly copy his outfit and made myself a sleeveless dress rather than a dress with sleeves. Because of the heat I also didn't put on a lace shirt beneath the dress, despite owning like 4 or 5 black lace shirts, and instead wore lace gloves for like the train ride to the bar cause then I forgot them on the bottom of my bag after going to the bathroom lmao.
I met some other cool people besides my friends there and got told that I didn't actually even need to go fashion school after I said that I'd made my dress myself and that made me really happy :). I am totally going to fashion school anyway, though. [My pictures of the look are extremely limited but I will take better pics of the dress at some point!!]

I met up with the same friend as on Friday, this time she was so nice as to go see some tourist attractions with me despite having lived in London all her life lmao. We also took really cute pictures again!
Once we parted ways and I got to the right part of town I picked up some takeout from a Thai buffet near my hotel and that was one of the best meals I've ever had... It was so cheap and so so tasty and there were so many different foods... Unfortunately I have no idea what most of the foods I ate were and thus the only way I can experience them again is either to find my way back there or by accident.
On Sunday night I also met up with the other friend from the previous night to hang out for a bit before we both would go back to our countries again... :( At the same time I love having friends all over the globe but I also hate it cause it's so difficult to meet up with them...

As last year I didn't have time to go meet my friend's cats I went over for lunch on Monday. I also met my friend's mom which was kinda awkward as expected cause I'm not very good with people's parents, but it could've been worse! Anyway my friend made us some really good lunch, and after eating that she walked me to the train station where I took the train to Heathrow Airport and eventually started my long journey back home...
In conclusion I really love London and my friends and cool clothes and good food.
xoxo V
