SUMMER IN LONDON

When its sunny in London there is an amazing vibe, its not a regular occurance so the people and the places just seem to be even more alive, here is a couple of snaps ive taken in the city and on my travels.

An advantage of going to a University which takes on such a wide range of students is free  places to stay around the world. I went to visit my friend in Ireland , it was my first time in the Country and it was beautiful even though i couldn't understand what anyone was saying.

Whenever I walk past the GPStudio in Borough their window always attracts my attention. This time it was because of  Sophie Emma James's textile prints

James uses primary sources for inspiration this shows in the unique originality of the prints and  the window display.

The best cupcakes in London - humming bird bakery with cafes in Soho , South Kensington, Portobello road and Liver pool Street they are a bit to convenient to walk past without popping in for a red velvet.

on the train home...Fields are always a welcome sight.

I grew up in a land where Home made goods are not a lifestyle choice but just the norm.

Malborough Village

the villages in my area are full with lovely home and clothing boutiques and are always full of tourists browsing before popping into a local pub for some lovely Wiltshire food! 

While shopping in Cheltenham  i came across a collection of Fred Perry products designed by Amy Winehouse, I didn't know this existed (WHOOPS). It is a very nice unusually colourful for Fred Perry, you can defiantly see Amy's input unlike some other celebrity collaborations.

summer fun with friends.

Love the Threatre first show of the week was We Will Rock You,  the costumes were like stepping into retro heaven and a surprising twist to the story of Queen kept us entertained throughout. 

Second show was the Wizard of Oz the production and costumes are absolutely amazing, the amount of Swarovski crystals were blinding.

First trip and i will be going back, Wahaca resurants can be found all across the city when you  fancy a Mexican indulgence in a fun ,funky and casual environment.

Only in London

Taking photos while cycling is not advised Trafalgar square looked lovely in the sunshine.

as does the archway to the Palace.

St James park band stand, I love how deck chairs immediately give the park that holiday beach feel .

Im not too sure how happy i am about these H&M boots, they are a blatant copy of  the classic Dr Martens boot and they haven't even copied them nicely they look cheap and the on trend mint green doesn't work with the black sole.

the sunshine doesnt last forever.

Angel has a great selection of Pub and Gig venues, great if you want to get away from the tourists.

 There is the opportunity to see a new band every night in the city, usually gigs are free and you get to go to places you would generally walk straight past. Above are napoleon in rags  a band from my home town.

I chased this couple down Camden High Street to get a photo, they looked amazing in the sunshine, forget following vintage trends these are the people that are the trend.
