Sketch

One of my favourite places to go to in London for wine and dine would be none other than Sketch.
As it was my dear friend's birthday, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to not only blog about it, but also to showcase my vamp heels that I had recently received ;). Upon entering, each room is different to the other and is conceived with intricate details and themes, very Alice in Wonderland-esque! My personal favourite would be the egg pod bathroom; and while I am normally inclined against taking pictures in the bathroom, how could you resist with a bathroom like this! The idea was envisioned by Mourad Mazouz and French chef Pierre Gagnaire and has over time become a place in London you must visit before leaving!

Truly unique, and I couldn't recommend it enough!

Potter Mania

Hey dolls! Apologies for the blogging hiatus, I've been overwhelmed with coursework and whatnot lately. However, last week of classes has finally finished, leaving me with 5 months of vacation, and a whole lotta time on my hands! I leave London next week and start my summer firstly en route to Germany and secondly to the island of Hawaii, so expect more posts in the coming weeks!

Since I will still be in London for a couple more days, I thought that I'd recommend one of my favourite tourist attractions! One of the main stereotypes I had associated with the UK before actually coming up here was that it was the land of tea and Harry Potter. Being an enormous Potter fan (having read all the books and watched all the movies countless times) one of the first things that I saw, way before Buckingham palace, London Eye, was the Warner brothers studio tour that had recently opened. 

I spent over three hours being enticed by all the familiar sights seen in the movies around me and relived my childhood/teenagedom by entering Hagrid's hut, lurking around Snape's potion class and snapping a million shots by Diagon alley. If your still in London or will be in London for the summer or if ever in the future, I highly recommend you visiting the tour and seeing the magic from the movies being translated into reality! 

Tickets can be booked online, click here to do so.

Hogwarts forever <3

P.S. Any Potter fans out there that recognize these photos? Also, stop by the souvenir shop on your way out, temptation to spend will be all around you!

When initially coming to London, it hit me that I am going to be spending the next few years living in one of the fashion capitals of the world, so in the mean time I have decided to explore and invest more in British designers. Charlotte Olympia was one of the few Brits that I had known of before arrival, so I was ecstatic to be arriving in the city (Hello Bicester Village!).

Upon discovering that her latest collection launch was zodiac themed, I was filled with pleasure as I not only adore her line, but I also do pay attention to what 'the cosmos says about my month (Aquarius, baby!)'. Her birthday shoe collection features 12 hand-painted enamel zodiac signs suede flats with gold trimmings. Bag lovers, fear not! They are also available as clutches that contain the 12 enamel zodiac signs embellished in crystals. 

The Zodiac shoes reflect your stylistic personality and make a great present for a loved one or if your just looking to treat yourself! Available for preorder now at the Charlotte Olympia homepage or Net-a-porter.
