I want to live there.

LONDON.
Why do I feel so overly elated when I visit London. It seems to do something to me that puts a smile on my face that will not disappear. The amount of rude inconsiderate people that practically push you over, fall on top of you when attempting to enter the tube, the constant beeping of horns which seems completely pointless as it will NOT make you move any faster and the weird sensation of hot air hitting your face when you're waiting for the tube. If anything, this makes me love London even more, because there is no other place like it.

The first thing I will be doing when I graduate is moving to London. Even if the first place I move into is in the roughest place in London; I don't care.

I want a fast paced lifestyle. I want to be one of those people running through London, dressed in ridiculous heels atttempting to get into work which just happens to be on the other side of London. Thats the fun of it.

Vintage shops are my absolute downfall. The amount of beautiful Vintage clothes I so badly wanted to buy but couldn't, due to the fact that 'I am a student' kills me. I did manage to buy one thing though, accidently obviously. A skirt which I practically team with everything. My friends will begin to think I only own one piece of clothing. Plus, I do fashion so I'm kind of obliged to buy clothes. Thats what I tell myself anyway.

The museums I have visited, the SHOPS, the restaurants, the theatres (I'm also a massive drama freak) the fact that everywhere you look something visually beautiful catches my eye. The general atmosphere that I cannot wait to be a part of.

I want to live there, be able to look around London not as tourist, but as a person that can actually say; I live in London.


Patterns. I love patterns. The first two photos are taken from the V&A museum.

An Alexander McQueen dress from his Spring/summer 2010 collection. He was one of the most brilliant and innovative designers and I completely love all of his designs.

I’m terrible at taking photos. But the last two photos remind me of postcards. For once they are not awful! This was a good day in London.
