Queen Cara

Move over Kate. Model-of-the-moment Cara Delevigne is fashion's newest It girl. Girl walked in just about anybody who is anyone's show this season. Not to mention she is the face of Burberry's Beauty campaign as well as Chanel's Resort 2013 campaign. Oh, she also had a spot in the coveted Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Did I mention she won Model of the Year 2012 at the British Fashion Awards? Girl is unstoppable. My girl crush began a year and a half ago or so while I was studying in London. Cara and her equally gorgeous sister, Poppy, were all over the British society pages and I couldn't get enough of them. The London native's bold brows, flawless face, and effortlessly chic rocker vibe culminate into PERFECTION. Her quirky sense of humor, down-to-earth character, and love for onesies make her that much more alluring. No wonder Rita Ora, Jourdan Dunn, and Georgia May Jagger are her BFFs and she's been linked to both Harrys - the Royal one and the One Direction crooner. All hail Queen Cara!

TRUTH:

Daily showers are still part of the routine but they've certainly brought some beautiful flowers and London is in BLOOM! Better yet, the sun has been shining quite a lot!

I've been slacking on updating, but it is exam time and I promise once exams are over (...June 8) I will be all over this thing!

A Little Bit of London

Even though I have been living here since September, I still feel like a tourist! Here are a few snapshots from January & February.

The Eye again! Love this photo. 

Lots of rules in London...

Little Bit of Life

Yep, this is it. From the last few weeks in London.

Shoe-off. Leopard always wins.

 Insane bracelet (by way of thrift store).

Topshop find. MAJOR sale.

Leopard denim & fox ring.  

I've been rockin the braid. A LOT.

I eat candied fruits galore.

I spy mad Louboutins on the tube.

Borough Market

I am a food lover. Not just any kind though. I'm more of a compulsive taste tester - I can't resist trying anything that is put in front of me. I'm constantly on the lookout for what is going to satisfy me next. Perhaps that is why I can spend hours, yes hours, at Whole Foods. One of my favorite things about London is its many food markets and Borough Market puts them all to shame. Just a brisk 10 minute walk away, I am a frequent Borough Market-goer. With its plethora of food vendors and just-right portions (along with tons of samples), it is perfect. Always packed with locals and tourists alike, I love meandering my way through the market, following the different savory aromas. I can eat an ostrich burger while sipping on mulled wine, and then the next second sample local cheeses and nibble some turkish delights, all before I grab a carton of blueberries for home!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Heaven.

Boutique + Spa + Restaurant & Bar + Cafe & Courtyard + Food market & Bakery + Wine cellar.

What makes it even better? It's in Chelsea, of course.

Glamorous couples like this are regulars:

But hey, I have no qualms frequenting Bluebird looking like this:

Decisions, decisions.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

London had its first snowfall yesterday!
