The Londoner

I am back in old London. I say back as if I was just here but you know I’ve not been back for a good couple of years.

british fashion bloggers
women's black ankle boots
ray-ban aviators
gold skirt

Jumper: H&M. Skirt: Vintage. I love this green one to wear under knits too. Boots: Zara. Topshop has the best pointy lookalikes  Hat: H&M. Coat: Mens Zara (old). Shades: Ray-Ban
After a series of plane cancellations on Thursday I made it here the following day and literally hit the ground running in a cab to London Fashion Week to take photos.  That first day it rained with winds so hard umbrellas turned inside out.   The cherry on top was catching a cold and a sore throat so bad that I’ve lost my voice. I am now the photographer whisperer.
It’s made for interesting approaches for street style where I’ll tap someone on their shoulder and whisper “Excuse me do you mind if I take your photo?” The immediate response has been: “what happened to you? Late night drinking?!”
More photos from London on my Instagram.  Talk to you soon.

    Hope you feel better soon! Your photos are amazing! It almost makes it look like it’s summer time in London with all the sunshine (which we both know it clearly isn’t – lol!) How so much bad weather can happen to a good city I have no idea…

    I loved that sweater but had to return it- too scratchy! How do you manage?

      If it’s cold it’s ok since I don’t feel it. ONLY if I’m indoors somewhere that’s really warm!

    OOh I love a good sequin skirt! I own a silver one, and I always feel so chic wearing it.

    I bet it feels wonderful to be back in your home town. I’ve been missing mine like crazy.
