anniversary revamp
on my london anniversary - I’ve enlisted the help of my trusted L2 to help me redesign my blog page. While it was delightful, I really didn’t think it represented the sense of adventure. (Even when I don’t have any) So a few cues from Indiana Jones later... we’ve got the start of a new design. Still needs some revamp though and expect some changes in the next weeks. I'm trying to work my way through altering html. But in the meantime as Lainey would say - you likey?
back to bath
my brother is in town for a few days and as he’s already ‘done London’ - I’ve decided to make him travel a bit more and we’re headed up to Bath for a relaxing dip in a rooftop pool. Needless to say, after all his hiking in Switzerland, I don’t think he’ll complain too much about Bath’s very slow pace and downpour.

weekly shop topshop
a new feature of the blog: the weekly shop. Instead of going so crazy (like last week) on recent trends I am going to highlight a shop around town each week. This should minimize my excessively long posts and let me keep blogging on my love for fashion.
like any good inaugural london shopping post- I start with Topshop. Despite the craziness of Oxford Street - the flagship store is the place to go. Three floors for women, and Topman on the fourth - you can find any trend in this building. Currently they are just eating up the floral english afternoon tea or the punk agyness deyn looks. While they're probably best known for the kate moss collection over in North America, I love the vintage collection of handbags and the coveted restored vintage pieces you can find on the very bottom floor. They also have the largest selection of knits I've ever seen.
Currently coveting this. - simple but purple....definitely wearable with jeans or suit pants (Their website is near impossible to steal pictures from - a big negative)
Note: the new kate moss collection comes out September 9.

battersea power station
a blessing and a curse - due to the large amount always going on in London you sometimes miss something that you thought would be amazing. That happened to L2 and I this weekend as we found out on Saturday night that the last night to see the Battersea Power Station was that day. Hungry punches ensued. It was the first time it opened to the public in over 20 years and they don't know if they'll do it again.
The Battersea power station is an iconic building in London (best known for pink floyd cover- also used in the recent Dark Knight film) and you can see the top of it from my street.
