Back from London

I just spent 4 days this week exploring/shopping in London with my wonderful fiancé. The trip was a gift from him to celebrate our 6-year anniversary, and since we both love London it was the perfect setting for the day. We went to new exciting places and revisited the ones we know and love. One thing that really annoyed me though was people telling me I wasn't allowed to take pictures whenever I pulled out my camera. It happened all the time, even outside shops. It seems really wrong to me. Anyway, I can't wait to share pics of my loot with you guys! Here's a few photos to start you off  from our first day there.

The color blocking trend was everywhere in London. I even bought a few things myself to brighten up my wardrobe. 


Cute fringy boho bags in Accessorize. 

 
Draped hair in the Royal Opera House. Quite stunning when you see it in real life.






Very nice toystore owner that I just had to photograph. His store was really wonderful and quirky.




Vintage jewelry and china at Covent Garden. 



Yummy cakes at the Primrose Bakery. The girls there were really nice and let me take as many photos as I liked. 



 Cute little cupcake soaps that had delightful scents. I bought a bunch to put on my desk.

All Saints London

Last week I went to London for the first time and one of the shops I kept going into was All Saints. I don't like the name much, but the fashion is unbelievable. It's rough, tough, punk cowgirl with amazing details. The heels on their boots are hammered in with nails. I love details like that. Their shoes are generally pretty fabulous and seem very authentic and I keept trying them on even though my feet were sore from walking around the city. I wanted to buy the whole store, but I still have to save up for my US trip so it wasn't the time for spending. I am however adding some of their lovely things to my evergrowing wishlist. They have a webshop and ship internationally so it should be no problem getting my hands on some of these things.

These are some of my personal favorites:
