London Trip!

I had a lovely time in London with my friend Nicola last weekend. Came back inspired and rested. We mooched around to our hearts content, sheltered from the rain, watched Jane Eyre (amazing), I bought lots of animal print things and got my photo taken with the lord of flock himself, Laurence Lleweyn Bowen..but the less said about that the better..


Wanted to share this photo of a David Altmejd sculpture at the Saatchi Gallery on the Kings Road, it was beautiful, to me!
If you can get close up there is a mirrored staircase woven through it, and it was covered in quartz crystals..

We took a look at Brixton Village too, an old indoor market with small eating places, a beautiful example was Elephant, serving authentic Pakistani street food.

The nicest food experience was definitely the Gilbert Scott, the new Marcus Wareing restaurant at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Great food in elegant surroundings. Lovely!
