♫ Two Door Cinema Club – Do You Want It All? ♫
Strolling around town can be really exhausting and therefore I have chose an easy laid-back look in order to get through the day. Comfy shoes, soft sweater and a pair of printed pants was just the right choice.
Walking through St James’s Park was just the perfect thing to do on such a lovely day in London. The little squirrels were all over the place and the sun was shining through the leaves of the trees. However you somehow got the feeling of autumn and I was lucky to have taken my coat with me on this trip.
♫ Ren Harvieu – Open Up Your Arms ♫ I’m back from my four-days-London-trip with my boyfriend and had the most amazing time over there. It’s always a good idea to visit London in my opinion since it is full of inspiration and new ideas. And it always feels like coming home. Next week we will start at University, new stage of life for both of us.
♫ Wolf Gang – The King And All Of His Men ♫ I was in London last month to visit a good friend of mine. The weather was crazy – really. It wasn’t warm, it was super hot! However, this month the first Victoria’s Secret store opens in London. I need to get there back soon. But due to the Olympic games I think I will wait a bit before going back. Must be really insane there the next weeks! All the best, Vanessa
Of course, as a true ballet lover, I couldn’t miss the chance on stoping by at some of the coolest dancewear shops in London (and buy something there, too). Here is my personal dance-clothes-shoes-little-some-things guide. The Repetto Studio in the Shoe Galleries at Selfridges It is not a dancewear shop. But Repetto, a French ballet shoes company, also has a normal show collection line in which you can feel like a modern ballerina on the streets. The little area is super cute: you have a ballet barré, a big mirror, red satin curtains and chandeliers. Bloch Concept Store Here you can find everything you need: Leotards, pointe shoes and ballet flats, tap and jazz shoes, warm-up clothes and cute little accessories. Got myself a pair of ne jazz shoes and a black hotpant. Freed of London Sadly it was closed when I passed by but shop window and the glimps through it showed me a good dance store. I really wanted to go inside because I know that a lot of famous dancers …
Here are just some more pictures of my London trip. All from different days and districts. But I liked to share them with you. Today I’m off to Berlin with a friend. So, there will be more pictures up soon.
Camden Town is always so much fun. You can hang out with super cool and crazy people in an area which is rather unusual. I think I really adore this mix in London. On the one side you have districts like Kensington, Knightsbridge and Notting Hill. Then there is Soho, Covent Garden and Mayfair. And also not to miss Camden Town, Islington and Spitalfields. Actually everything you wish for. Still, I talked to quite a lot of people who told me that London is losing it’s charm, fascination and magic. And to be honest, I can understand them. I love little shops which don’t have this high street, main stream craziness. I do like shopping there, wouldn’t deny that. But it gets boring from time to time. The people in London, like how I met them, were really angry with the political situation and all those cuts. Everything gets more expensive and people stop buying because they simply can’t afford it anymore and those little, charming shops have to close down because the prices …
Back from London and to be really honest: I now need 5 days of relaxing and doing nothing. It was great as always but I’m so tired now. Thank God, we still have some weeks of summer holidays!I met amazing people over there and had so much fun. These photos were all taken in Notting Hill. I was there yesterday so the Protobello Market was open and so many people were pushing and squeezing their way through THE street. I will show you a lot more in the next few days but take this for a start. Little tipp for a good coffee in great atmosphere: Caffe Respiro 33 Kensington Park Road Notting Hill
When you read this post I will already be in London. Here are just some snaps of my packing day. I’m not taking a lot with me because I know how much I will shop over there. Hope you enjoyed or little movie we made for you and have a great summer. I will be back on Saturday with a lot of new photos.
