Attention, attention! This is an announcement! + London (Style) Diary No.6


  _____________________


I've been asked a lot about my new boyfriend over the last weeks. About posting pictures and introducing him on my blog. To be honest I wasn't sure if it would be the best idea and I also didn't know if he would agree with it. But suddenly he came up with a great idea - he will introduce himself with a guest post on my blog. So, for all of you who are interested in getting to know my new love - get your red pencil out or just pull out your smartphone and mark tomorrow as THE event in your calendar  - his post will be up then!

This is the last London (Style) Diary post - unfortunately we didn't manage to take pictures everyday as Sofie wasn't with me all the time. I will post some other London photos in a London summary post somewhen later next week. Although we took the following pictures spontaneously on our way back home from a long walk through Islington I do like them. I wore my new glitter cardigan which was a bargain buy in one of Crouch End's charity shop - I really like how it goes with my hair, the cardigan's colour is the perfect autumn colour and looks so nice in front of the bricks, don't you think so too?

London (Style) Diary No. 5


On Tuesday we went to Camden Town for lunch, I had some delicious vegan indian food and Sofie decided to go for asian food, it was still warm enough to sit down by the canal and enjoy the food there. 

Later we went for a walk around Camden offside the touristic streets and markets where we took the following pictures: 




I wore my new favorite coat - I really like the pattern, the collar and the big buttons.





oh and - I found "my" house :D Isn't it lovely with this beautiful balcony?! I would love to live in there.

London (Style) Diary No.4


These pictures are from Tuesday - although it doesn't look like this in the pictures it was perfectly warm. 

I met Jakob's mum and sister for tea and cake in the early afternoon. I was really looking forward seeing his mum again,  I haven't met her since Jakob and I broke up. We spent a nice few hours together and then I went to Liverpool Street, where I was supposed to meet Sofie, unfortunately she wasn't there by the right time so I sat in front of the station all alone for two hours. I was a bit agitated after talking to Jakob's mum so I felt really alone in this big city, all by myself in front of the station. 
After two hours of thinking about my past and the future, Sofie finally arrived. We walked around Shoreditch a bit and went to a gallery to see a small exhibition (which was a bit disappointing). Later we went to Oxford Street for some shopping.. and here are some pictures:

London (Style) Diary No.3


I somehow don't get it managed to do a daily post while I'm here in London, so here are the pictures from Monday (shame on me, I knoooooow). Sofie and I went for some charity shop shopping in Crouch End and I'm very pleased with what I got (besides from the fact that I'm a bit afraid of an luggage overweight when returning to Berlin...). If you're interested in, I can do a London shopping haul post...somewhen :D Just let me know.

I decided to go for gold and glitter on that grey Monday, sometimes I just feel like overdressing a little ;)

London (Style) Diary No.2



With a little delay - here is the second post from London :) We've been to Shoreditch on Sunday and had the perfect weather with 20 degrees and sunshine. We walked around Brick Lane with our friend Danny who turned out the be the best guide :) Brick Lane is perfect for vintage shopping - there are hundreds of lovely vintage stores and they aren't even that expensive. So if you're looking for some nice vintage stores you should really go to Shoreditch, it's way better than Camden Town. 


Danny took some nice pictures of me and Sofie and here is just a small selection:

London (Style) Diary No. 1



I'm such a lucky girl! I'm back in London for nearly 11 days :D And since I know that so many of my lovely followers are also huge London fans, I decided to share a post with you daily again :) This time I came to London with a friend of mine, Sofie, and you will get to know her in this post too. We decided it'll be more fun if we're also taking pictures of her instead of only taking pictures of me and posting them here. 

We arrived on the early Friday evening in Southend (which is the smallest airport I've ever seen) and didn't went out for a party or something which turned out to be the right decision as we had to get up quite early on Saturday morning to get the train to St. Albans, where we met Sofie's family for lunch. We spent the whole day in St. Albans, had tea and brownies with Sofie's lovely granny and walked around to find a nice place for taking the pictures. And here they are: 



I'm a little girl in a big big world.... I look so tiny :D 






of course I have my union jack pin with me




And here she is - Sofie! We're studying fashion design together and it was more like a spontaneous idea to go to London together, we sat in our nude drawing course when we decided that we both wanted to get out of here, so we looked up the flights and booked them immediately.

"Diese dekadenten Schnösel!"

 

"Diese dekadenten Schnösel!"

Sowas in der Art ging mir damals durch den Kopf, als ich noch im (von verwöhnten Gören reicher Z-Prominenten bevölkerten) Kindergarten arbeitete und diese Eltern ihre Kinder dann früher als gewöhnlich abholten (oder von den Nannys abholen ließen), um "zu Abend in Paris zu essen". Es war mir unbegreiflich, wieso man für so kurze Zeit irgendwo hinfliegt, warum gingen die denn nicht einfach zum Franzosen essen? 

Worauf will ich hinaus? Tja, mittlerweile versteh ich das wohl. Gestern war ich für wenige Stunden in meinem geliebten London. Hab ich mir (neben dem VOGUE Abo) selbst zu Weihnachten geschenkt. 





Der eigentliche Grund für meinen Kurztrip (das Wort bekommt hier nun wirklich eine gebührende Bedeutung) war die Hollywood Costumes Exhibition im V&A, die noch bis zum 27. Januar zu sehen ist. Gesehen habe ich sie nicht. Aber dazu später mehr. 

Ich stand dann also in aller Herrgottsfrühe auf, zog mich an und schminkte mich. So, nun folgt normalerweise der Part, wo ich hektisch bis zum Losgehen meinen Koffer packe, das entfiel ja nun, war  n tolles Gefühl, ich hatte einfach nur meine Handtasche dabei mit all den Sachen, die ich sonst auch dabei hab, wenn ich das Haus verlasse. Na gut, und das Flugticket :D Mit so ner kleinen Handtasche und keinem Aufgabegepäck fühlt man sich so richtig frei, tolles Reisegefühl :D 

Entgegen meiner anfänglichen Befürchtungen ging mein Flug trotz des Winterwetters, und ich landete sogar früher als geplant. Ab zum EasyBus und schleunigst nach London!

Alles in allem hatte ich knappe sieben Stunden Zeit zwischen Busankunft und Busabfahrt. Klingt gar nicht so wenig, aber ihr wisst ja, London ist groß und allein um von A nach B zu kommen, verbraucht man ne Menge Zeit. 

Zuerst bin ich dann also zum Somerset House, dort läuft noch bis zum 27. Januar die Tim Walker - Storyteller Exhibition und die Henri Cartier-Bresson - a question of colour Exhibition, beides für lau. Aktuell gibts auch noch Valentino - Master of Couture, allerdings kostet das 12,50 Pfund. 
Die ersten beiden jedenfalls habe ich mir angesehen. Tim Walker war großartig.








 Bei Bresson hab ich was anderes erwartet, wenn Bresson draufsteht, erwarte ich auch Bresson, es waren aber insgesamt bestimmt 10 verschiedene Photographen, die alle sehr unterschiedlich waren. Naja. 

Als ich dort fertig war, gings auf zum V&A (meinem Lieblingsmuseum), und als ich ankam und zum Ticketschalter rannte, kam die böse Überraschung:


Ich fühlte mich fürchterlich verarscht, schließlich war diese doofe Ausstellung quasi der Hauptgrund für meinen Kurztrip :( Aber alles Schmollen half nix, also zum Trost den Katalog zur Ausstellung gekauft und noch ein paar schöne Postkarten. 

Nach dem V&A war nicht mehr viel Zeit, aber meiner geliebten Oxford Street musste ich ja noch fix n Besuch abstatten (unter anderem auch deshalb, weil ich im Sainsbury's meine Teevorräte aufstocken musste - ebenfalls ein ausschlaggebender Grund für die Reise gewesen). Um 320 Teebeutel, 46 Brownies, 24 Kerzen, unzählige Aspirin und ein Sainsbury's Magazine schwerer verließ ich dann den Supermarkt, sprang noch schnell hier, schnell dort rein und schon gings zurück zur Busabfahrtstelle. 

Bye London, es war sehr kurz, aber immerhin haben wir uns in diesem noch so jungen Jahr bereits einmal gesehen - bis bald, du weißt, du kriegst mich immer rum ;)
