namely there will be a lot to do when i make my first visit across the pond.
i created a pinterest board HERE to help me stay inspired with sight, sounds and sartorial images.
london wouldnt be london with a visit or a picture near big ben...right?
i am definitely excited about wear as much tweed as i can. the weather here in north carolina is getting cool, but not quite there yet. so hopefully london will be cool so i can wear all of the tweed that is in my closet.
the london eye is beautiful in this picture. i am afraid of heights (yes im pushing 30 and still terrified), so i am not really sure if i will venture onto this. granted i wouldn't to miss a single amazing adventure, i can squeeze in while on this trip. so im still on the fence.
yes. savile row. all well dressed men know that savile row is the epitome of class and excellence. to have an opportunity to even step foot in one of those shops is pure awesomeness. i hope i have time in the schedule to drop by.
i will be spending a lot of time with some amazing blogger here from the us and well as from london. the design packed scheduled is intense and i am sure all of you are going to really enjoy all of the photos and the posts that are in the works.
without these fine sponsors this amazing experience would NOT have been possible. you can click the above photo and get linked to all of their wonderful products. i will be sharing more about them in the days to come.

I lived there for 6 years, and you're going to have an awesome time! The fashion alone will be worth the trip!!!
Of course, you will have a great trip! It's a wonderful city!
Too much to see, but enjoy!,

I'm so excited for you! Plus I voted and helped you get there, so YAY for me too! :)
yay, you're coming to The Smoke! You must let us know if you're planning to do a meet n'greet cover cocktails or better still in the pub! x Lasca from London
Don't be afraid. You will be so enthralled by the view you won't even THINK about being 'up there'. Don't forget your camera. I'll bet you'll go more than once so you can get all of the great shots possible, which you will then share with your readers. You are going to have SO MUCH FUN! Steep yourself in the history. You will realise HOW NEW even the oldest historical sites in America really are. I hope that some day you will be able to take an extended tour of Great Britain. There is just so much to see. And, there is inspiration around every corner.
Love, Carolina. (British expat)
take comfy shoes!! You walk just about everywhere you go. You should be there about the right time to wear all the tweed you desire. Have a blast!
OMG, you will love, love LONDON!!! I have been twice and can't wait to back again and again.
I am also afriad of heights, but you must di the London Eye, there is a bench in the middle of the capsule sit on that and you can see in all directions. It only takes about 30 minutes to make the complete rotation.
More importantly, a must do is the Portobello Market in Knotting Hill. I didn't get there the first time I was in London, but made it the second time and was overwhelmed with all the antique swapmeet like shopping. We did not leave enough time to make it through the whole market. If you start at the end near the Knotting Hill Tube station that is where all the antique dealers are. http://www.portobellovillage.com/portobello-market.html
Another must while in London is to take in a show at the west end. They have many plays that have not yet made it to the states and well worth seeing. If you loved "Phantom of The Opera", they have the sequel "Love Never Dies" and it is just as powerful as the first.
I am so jealous and can't wait to see all your great pics. Have an amazing trip!!!
