lovely ay?

hellos. i'm back from "londres." i love that city, oh yeah and vanilla latte exists there!! i haven't had those since...hm.....i got here...? either way, it feels like a long time ago.
oh and before i forget, THANKS AGAIN ESTHER!!!!! (i know you this is in your favorite)

Sunday morning- on my way into the city from Heathrow
I woke up super early on sunday to catch my flight to London. I walked passed a "blacked out" Notre-Dame to go to the train/rer station to go to the airport, guess Quasimodo wasn't even up yet. My hard work paid off though, I was in central London by 10am.

Day 2
Covent Garden+Apple Market
Paul Smith (Covent Garden), its a string of store fronts- from shoes to Men's to Women's, there are usually different themes for each window. another was filled with some kind of inflated plastic neon-coloured snakes (now i wish i had taken photos of them). i definitely liked the bikes the most.

South Kensington tube stop- Victoria&Albert Museum
My third favorite museum (trailing after the Met and Louvre)
coinkidinks: I was in London during its fashion week, 25th anniversary too!
young street fashion probably doesn't get any better than London. the whole atmosphere is just very different from Paris. these people obviously could care less about what others think of their outfits/choice of clothing. no rules what so ever. the fashion week main tent is in the Natural History Museum which is right next to V&A. unfortunately I was only around that area during lunch break so not many people were around. still, i saw some crazily dressed people just walking on the streets, especially since i didn't take the underground most of the time.

more fabulous windows from Harvey Nichols
and perhaps one of the best crumble i've ever had (daylesford organic 5th fl, harvey nichols). pear and....sunflower seeds/oats/nuts(?). I don't really know what's in it, i just know its tasty and healthy. i also love the freshly sqeezed kiwi juice (yep so much that i ordered 2)
after snack time, i walked a long...long way (form Knightsbridge back to Bloomsbury)

to be continued...
