A great date with the city

Not everything in the City is about big bucks and there's still plenty of good things you could do for very little money!

Destination Christmas: Winter Wonderland
/
I am passionate about Christmas. That’s it, I said it. But who would not be excited about this time of the year? Specially if you live in London. From the beginning of December (if not late November), the city becomes so whimsical, so magic! All the streets are enlightened with the Christmas spirit, and of course the shopping plays along.

How beautiful Sundays are. Specially when you actually do something rather than stay at home with a massive hangover...which usually happens. As I previously stated in my posts, if you want to do something on a Sunday in London, I'd go East. Here I tell you why.

London uncovers fashion empires such as Prada (and for FREE!) at Harrods. But what's to know about Prada that you don’t know already? Let's see.

In another of my strolls around the City last week, I went to Camden. The hype about this neighborhood has lowered over the years, letting other neighborhoods like Shoreditch or Islington become more trendy. However, I still think it's nice to go there and have a wander. You never know what you could find. Camden is the place to go if you are looking for real leather goods or quirky items. You probably wouldn't find them anywhere else, or at least that cheap! And that is what happened when by accident I popped into one of those souvenir stores and found this gem: the Chanel Perfume Bottle bag made into a phone case.
After discussing with myself whether it was worth spending money on something that was a replica or not I decided to go for it. I have to admit I have a little addiction with phone cases (among many other things, trust me), and the more funky the better.
So if you are looking for a fashionista phone case (pss, mine was also in black and they had many other options to choose from as well) something funny to wear, or just wondering what to do on a nice S unday afternoon, head over there. There's a beautiful path over the river where you will also find plenty of food stalls and vintage bargains.

Shoreditch Hype

Well, well, well...I moved to London literally two months ago and I feel so settled already! London bursts of energy, creativity, innovation...and of course, a lot of fashion. I've been living here only for few months but every day is an adventure. And I wanted you to be part of them sharing my experiences here.
Last weekend I spent my time discovering (once again) Shoreditch, the neighborhood of hipsters and fashion craziness. There's nothing you can think of that you wouldn't see here. It is truly amazing.
My Sunday ritual in Shoreditch consists on having a nice breakfast at the Beigel Bake (salmon bagel, what a classic!) up at the end of Brick Lane and then just let myself into the litlle stalls where you can find real gems (fashion-wise, don't get me wrong).
One of my favourite spots is that Vintage Market under ground of Brick Lane. Live Music, Vintage Clothing and lots of food stalls to try different types of cuisines. What else would you need to spend your sunday?
But before getting into Brick Lane there is one stop I ALWAYS have to make, and that is the street market next to Old Spitafields Market. It is just bedazzling. Don't ask where those clothing pieces come from but they seriously have good stuff. They only work on the Sundays so make sure you are around to treat yourself to a nice piece! P.S: I've got that stunning metallic jacket I'm wearing in the pictures last Sunday :)
For outfit details, just see below the pictures. Have a nice week, fashionistas!
