The other day I went on a bicycle outing with the girls and snapped some photos along the way! I hope you like my depictions of London town:

Up top is Big Ben, the Iconic Clock Tower

A cool ballerina statue on top of a building

The gates at Buckingham Palace (where the Queen lives!)- I love the intricate architecture.

The Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace

A Street Lamp (One thing I love about London is how our street lamps have a double C! They remind me of Chanel, perhaps one of the most iconic fashion brands of all time!)

Until next time, XX Esme

Vintage shopping is like treasure hunting. You never know what you’re going to find…a pair of funky heels, a cool pair of sunnies, antique jewels, the possibilities are endless!  This weekend I had an itch- the type of itch only vintage could scratch.  We ventured to Camden Markets where some of the greatest vintage finds can be found daily. It was a bit overwhelming because the shops had such great pieces.  Finally I decided on this stunning sequined wrap from the 1970’s.  Amazing find, don’t you think? 

Take advantage of vintage stores and thrift shops in your area. A unique vintage piece always adds to your look. And remember, prices are ALWAYS negotiable!  Until next time…

 Xo, Maria
