Video of my last two days spent home in London. God knows why I didn’t record the trips to the pubs earlier that week.

    What a fabulous video! It makes me pine for London… I’ve not been across the pond in, oh, about seven years. I’m glad you got back, even for a brief visit!
    (P.S. I’m Lesley Z.’s sister… we met at her farewell party in NYC before she moved to San Fran a couple of years ago. I’m glad to be a visitor to your blog, and hope you’ll stop by mine!)

    London and especially Spitalfield are just GREAT.!!!!!!!
    GOOD TIMES IN THIS city.

  18. hello Shopaholic says:

    Thanks for making the video.

    It’s like I’m there all over again.

    Did you get those leopard print harems from Topshop? I love them but they look awful on me. Love the gold detail Docs too, need to get me some. Didn’t think the Tube was that expensive, damn sight cheaper than elsewhere in Britain! And seeing all that gorgeous jewellery you bought in Spitalfields makes me wish I’d got some. I went by what must have been the same stall but had no cash and it was closing 🙁

  21. Sing says:

    Thanks for the video, enjoyed it. Hope to get there one day.

  22. Fashionblahblah says:

    Nice video! I live across the Channel. Well, not quite: I’m in the South of France. And yet, I’ve never been to London! Ever! I’m in English teacher btw, but more keen on YOUR side of the Atlantic… 😉 Well, this video makes me wanna cross this bloody Channel and visit London! I liked it so much I think I’m going to 1) watch it again 2) download the awesome soundtrack! 😉

    Hi ! I’ve been following your blog for quite a while and finally decided to post ! 🙂

    I’ve been lovin’ London since I was a kid, and i’m so jealous u’ve been there theses days 😉

    But actually I’m going to New York for 5 days soon and I was wondering if you could give me the best places to go shopping and hanging out ! Thanks and keep goin’ you rock lady!

    xoxo

  24. Diana says:

    I want to go. Looks like you had a blast! 😉

  25. Anna says:

    Great video! I have never been on an airplane but that food doesn’t look too appealing.

  26. Cristina says:

    loveee london- moving there in sept! x

  28. Louise says:

    Awesome video! Makes me want to jump on a plane NOW! (I’ve always, always wanted to visit London … one day … one day 🙂 )

  29. Melody says:

    I loved this video. I live in Birmingham, have only been to London once and I HATED it. Life seems to go SO fast. BUT! Now I am more grown up I am sure I will appreciate it all a bit more. A trip to London has been on the Agenda for a while now. I loved your last look; all black. Cute as ever.

  30. Fashion Chalet says:

    The UK got her Queen back for a few days…. 😉

    How have you been K?

    xx

  31. Karen says:

    OMG Jennifer hello how are you !!?

    Sarah Dee – it’s such a simple bit of nothing but makes me laugh. That’s all that matters.

    Anon – thx. the editing was between Michael and me. I’m learning slowly to edit myself which I more or less did with this with his help for certain parts. Not as hard as I initially thought!!

    Redheadfashionista – i did get them and LOVE them!!! Trick is to get about 2 sizes up from normal as they run small. You want them to be nice and baggy.

    Fashionblahblah – South of France??? lucky you. Soooo pretty there.

    Melody -thx I was going to the airport and felt like crap: no make up and crap hair so dressed all in black to top it all off lol!

    Fashion Chalet – : )) i’m coolio!

  32. The Beso Team says:

    Thanks for sharing the video. It makes me want to escape London and experience endless adventures.

    I absolutely adore London, I visited it five years ago and instantly felt like at home. Now I still live in Finland to graduate from high school but I’ll travel to London next December to party with my girls. Then another half a year and I’ll move there permanently to study music 🙂

    Could you please tell me where that Doc Martens shop is located? It’d also be awesome if you made a post listing all your favourite shopping spots in London with addresses and all 🙂

  35. Lorena says:

    Love love love the video! great! And I just l love London!

  36. Léonie Mizée says:

    Video is so much fun! Thanks Karen!

  37. Anonymous says:

    I reallllly enjoyed that video. I have never seen London. But seeing this gave me a good idea about what it would be like. VERY creative!!!

  38. Karen says:

    mettesofia – get off at Camden Town tube station. Turn left out of the station on Kentish Town Road and its right there : )

    Thx everyone. I have to do more videos….

  39. Jennifer says:

    Great video!

  40. Marlboro Martini says:

    OMG the swirly stuff you did at the beginning made me sea sick. Also how come you hopped on the tube only to go back to holborn again?… OK it’s unfair, I’m a londoner – I’ll holdfire on the awkward questions.

    Loved the rest of the Vid though.

    MM x

    Tube tickets aren’t expensive! Its like a fiver for an all day pass to all zones (I visit London frequently because my brother lives there)

  42. Little Garcon says:

    This makes me so excited about moving to London!

  43. Karen says:

    Malboro – yea way too much of that. sorry! ps. The sequence is not shown how it all occurred ; )

    Anon – I had an Oyster card and in comparison to NY, the prices to travel in London are still more $$$.

    Little Garcon – have fun.

  44. Francheska says:

    This made me happy!!!!!!
    I laughed so much when your friend was complaining about the traffic! And that talking Carl (?) application on your iphone is ADORABLE!!!!!

    and I love your all black outfit at the end of the video…
    🙂 Make more videos like this whenever you can! They are seriously entertaining! xxx
