The other day I had a
day off work so we went into Glasgow under the pretence of going to see Glasgow
University. Like any good “under the pretence” trip, we spent more time going
on a roundabout route to the university than we spent there.
First thing we intended
to do after getting off the train was to go to YO Sushi for lunch. But instead
we spent twenty or so minutes drifting through the House of Fraser it is in.
The building is probably Victorian or Georgian – I'm not too sure – and even
though everything was way about my price range, the building and atmosphere was
nice. They had put up their Christmas lights which was exciting, because who
doesn’t get excited by Christmas lights.
We finally sat down to
eat at YO Sushi. YO sushi is great for those who want to be adventurous but at
the same time are sort of scared. The sushi is very recognisable and most of it
is fully explained in the menu. The conveyor belt system is great because it
meant I could be adventurous and try some of the things I wouldn’t normally.
Once we had finished
and had explored the market in a backstreet off Buchannan Street, we got the
subway to the west end. We did our compulsory rummage through the vintage shops
off Byres Road, and by the time we finally got to the university it was 4
o’clock and getting dark.
(Look at this scary Santa on the Ted Baker
display)
I didn’t really get
anything from us awkwardly drifting around the area about the university except
that the main building looked like Hogwarts. But I had fun getting there which
is what counts.
I didn’t get any pictures of my outfit in
Glasgow because it was busy in the main area and had got dark quickly so these
are more of a re-enactment in my back garden.
I had my eye on this
jumper for a while. It was from the men’s section but like I previously said, men’s jumpers are usually in nicer, more muted colours. If you follow me
on Instagram, you have probably seen that this jumper has become a bit of a
staple for me because it’s so warm and I love the colours. It’s probably the
most casual outfit I have worn on this blog so far, but it is far too cold now
for anything else.
I'm wearing:
Jumper from Primark for £15 in the
men’s section
Grey skinny jeans from primark
Boots from Primark from a while ago
Comic book bag this is my go-to bag
as its can hold so much and is comfortable to carry. It even has an amazing
Spiderman 2 spoiler on it!
Today I'm listening to:
Keep an eye out for my
new video - which I will try to post by next Tuesday - about Christmas gifts I
got people this year. (I should just call my blog my Adventures in Primark) If you want notified when I post this or
anything new, follow me on one of my sites listed on the side of my blog
because I usually mention on them when I’ve posted.
So what do you think of
this more blog-y blogging style? Do you like it better than my normal, less
about me and more about the clothes posts? And if you go to Glasgow University,
what do you think of it there?
Have a very merry
Christmas and I’ll see you in the New Year!
I love the jumper and the boots. I would like to go to Glasgow :-)
ReplyDeletethank you! Glasgow is really cool, the buildings around the main shopping streets are Georgian/Victorian and it has a really cool west end
ReplyDeleteHi Bronwyn, I just happened to stumble upon your blog. I love this outfit very much, so casual yet still adorable! Nice to meet you ♥
ReplyDeleteYour trips sound like so much fun :) I love sushi, though I wish I was more adventurous while choosing my order (I always end up ordering the same thing as my friend, sice she is a true sushi addict :D).
ReplyDeleteYo sushi is great for that: you don't have to order, its on a conveyor belt and you just grab whatever looks nice
