ash - "hi from LONDON!"

Our lovely Ash is in Europe at the moment (lucky thing!) & she has been nice enough to share some of the things she is enjoying on her travels............

We are a little behind in updating posts from her, but we'll bring you up to speed right quick!!

DAY ONE

We woke up bright and early on Tuesday and spent the whole day exploring the city including Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park which were all buzzing with energy due to all the tourists visiting for the summer and the general happy vibes for the warm weather! 

However, much to my dads dismay, we focused mostly on the shops =) 

We hit the big names Oxford and Regent Street, which were both amazing! There was a buzz in the air  and the streets were packed at 10:30 on a Tuesday, however they are the main shopping streets and lots of the stores are somewhat the same so I had dive a bit deeper to find the more interesting boutiques.

First of all we hit both Selfridges and Harrods, the two biggest department stores on the London strips. These stores are wonderful and completely extravagant in the best kind of way, hosting all the big guns such as Chanel, Chloe, Missoni, Dior, all of which were way out of my league in the money department but still nice to look at

All the stores are on sale at the moment which is exciting and we stumbled across Urban Outfitters which was probably the best (bar the department stores) along the two streets, stocking labels including Karen Walker and Peter Jensen from whom I found a cardigan which I am going back to get I've decided tomorrow! 

The top pickings thus far would have to be Carnaby Street! And the streets which stem around it. Its located just off Regent Street and is littered with tons of little boutiques and cute cafes! A place where a store like LBC would fit in quite perfectly. I also managed to get my hands on a nice magazine here which has some very educational information on Londons best stores, which im going to try check off my list before I leave, as well as re-visiting Carnaby Street and doing a little more research. Following our day of exploration we found a yummy greek resturant for dinner which we found out was a popular haunt of Mick Jagger, the Beatles and Dusty Springfield back in the day ;) too cool huh? 
we LOVE the finale pic Ash! xx
