Tartan will always have a special place in my heart. When I found these marvellous pants at Top Shop my first day here, I knew it was meant to be. They’re an easy way to make any outfit feel “oh so London”. In this case, they put a brit twist to Sandy’s dangerous Greece look.
A new friend and I went to the Isabella Blow exhibit at Somerset house. I won’t say too much here because I’ll be doing a real post on it soon but the exhibition was truly remarkable.

London Fashion Week; the most exciting part of February for fashion lovers everywhere. It’s a time for devotees to put their best foot forward and strut their decadent ensemble to the world. Here’s a favorite look from my week in the city
Day 47: I bought my Vogue Festival tickets! I’m thrilled at the chance to listen to some of the most accomplished minds in fashion. Now, if only March would get here sooner…

Though trends can be hard to follow, one English staple look will always be an oversized top. Whether it’s a wool coat or a vintage button down, an oversized top is an effortless way to feel put together and bold. Most people shy away from oversized tops for fear of looking “boxy” or shapeless. But paired with slick tights, it’s an easy way to balance the look by bringing shape back into the ensemble.
If you’re in the market for a smock, check out your local thrift store. I got mine in town for just $7 and it’s one of the comfiest pieces I own.
Have some snazzy plans this Valentine’s Day? Use it as a chance to try experiment with a new look—velvet! Paired with some bold earrings and an oversized coat—it’s the perfect combo to feel edgy and fabulous on a special night.
Day 21: After fashion class, my roommates and I walked around the city and shot photos for a bit. Later, I enjoyed a lazy Friday night in and started playing around with Photoshop. Hopefully I’m doing this right?
Day 18: I swear I’ll bring a camera into the city tomorrow so you’ll get a break from all these outfit posts. But the in-room photo still feels appropriate since I was stuck inside researching internships and doing homework all day (booo). Apparently they actually mean it when they say Study Abroad
One cool thing was waking up to true London fog this morning. It was so thick I could hardly see out my window!
Day 16: I finally bought a purse big enough to carry my camera around, so I spent the day shooting around the city. I ventured to Spitalfields market where I shopped and tasted my first “honey puff” (Warning: they’re not as tasty as they look). I picked up some warm scones and headed to a friend’s flat for some tea and crumpets. A glorious Sunday in Londontown indeed
Day 15: The roomies and I had a great day exploring Greenwich Market. Besides the amazzzzing food stands, they had hundreds of vendors selling homemade trinkets. My favorite was a vintage shop with dresses from the 40’s and old war trench coats.
