I was missing it severely. So while home for New Year, I hopped on a cheapo Ryanair flight and reacquainted myself with some old haunts and favorite spots. Some things stay the same (my favorite vintage store is still there, hanging on.) Many things are different (Patisserie Valerie is a chain! My old school is now luxury loft apartments!)
But one thing remains certain: London inspires me.
Here’s a wee glimpse…
God I love it! And Bar Italia is still there…way back when, way before coffee was cool, it used to be the only place where to get a vaguely drinkable espresso….some of those vintage shoes look amazing. Did you buy?
I love it too! I did, I bought a lures dress in a vintage store called Blackout II which I’ve been wearing continually in honor of Bowie 🙂 But Yes, London is pretty/ I have memories too of Bar Italia 🙂
Oh, you, lucky-lucky girl! Good idea! Were you able to catch up with Kate, too? I’m missing Europe, but with elderly family its hard to get away when the trips go to them. Perhaps, Greece in the Spring or the Nordic countries in the Fall. Sigh. We will see. XO
It was so fleeting I only contacted one good friend and saw her the last night. It was more a trip about being with myself. I like to isolate myself sometimes and London was very accommodating 🙂
Your plans are enviable. Hope it pans out xo
Next time let us know….would be great to meet up!! London always inspiring and thankfully only an hour from my humble abode xx
Oh, I so would! I never thought. It would have been lovely to see you. Next time for sure. How come you don’t’ blog no more. dearie..? Always meant to ask…
…just got out of habit really. I think I enjoy reading others more than writing my own and when time is my own I prefer to be designing and making rather than talking about it. Enjoy your snow…. Xx
🙂 Thank you for the pictures. It was fun traveling to London with you! I really enjoyed it!
Back home in NY now? xo 🙂
You can burrow your way into my suitcase any time (It wont’ be Louis Vuitton but still…) XO!
Next time you won’t escape!! Have you seen the new St Martin’s campus by Kings Cross? Another huge change..you, me, Julie and Dievca all having cream tea somewhere authentic…true joy! xxx
Great pictures. Miss it. How fun to have a trip by yourself!
