London Visit

My life is so busy that when I got the chance to go back home to London to finalize an interiors project I’ve been working on; I immediately jump at the opportunity. The weather is basically always cold and overcast so I decided to go with much cozier looks. The first look consisted of a denim Burberry shirt, a wool camel Phillip Lim skirt and a pair of slouchy leather Sergio Rossi boots that had that modern military feel. To keep me warm in the winter months I threw on a khaki green quintessentially British, Burberry quilted jacket with a fluffy fur hood. In my opinion Burberry does some of the best outerwear out there in terms of quality and cut that lasts a lifetime. I wore this outfit for tea time at one of my faves, the Langham hotel. 

My second look definitely complimented the gloomy weather in the city as I decided to pair several shades of grey. For this smart yet comfortable outfit I wore black legging with these sumptuous over the knee suede Sam Edelman boots, a ribbed Vince sweater and an oversized wool Burberry coat that can be belted for a more streamlined look. Complete with the Philip Lim Pashli metallic bag that adds an instant cool factor to any outfit. This little ensemble was perfect for a cozy lunch at the Chiltern house (a refurbished firehouse turned designer hotel). 

Ever tried a rose latte? Umm, please do. What better place to do so than at the Farm Girl Cafe which is a new find and I will definitely be going back whenever I'm in town.  For a coffee run at a cute cafe, this color block outfit is sure to make you look fab. This colorblock coat (which was an amazing find during a trip to Korea),  BCBG leggings (that happen to match the coat perfectly. Oh yeah!) and red Lanvin sneakers are just what you need.  This adorable small red Valentino purse is so convenient and was the perfect little accessory for a chill afternoon.
