So, a certain beloved relative is headed to my old stomping ground, London.
I haven’t been in 4 years (sad), and it got me to thinking, what could she bring me back.
First and foremost: rose and violet creams and dark chocolate bars.
Charbonnel et Walker makes a killer chocolate bar and carries the rose and violet creams. They also have an adorable Alice in Wonderland collection.
Fortnum & Mason has great rose & violet things as well.
And, just looking on the website, I found THIS!!!!
A longstanding staple of cuteness in London is Cath Kitson. She’s done some adorable boat-y things this season, such as these shoes.
I am a big fan of the Royals, so I love this tea towel.
Liberty of London makes such classic prints. I am loving this kimono.
And, totally frivolous and expensive but ADORABLE:
Most importantly, I hope that they take in the sights and tastes of London.
The best cider that I have ever had- strawberry pear!
At an adorable old pub in Kensington, Windsor Castle, found by Alex.
The obligatory Buckingham Palace shot
Electric blue cables in Picadilly- can’t find them anywhere! Not on the want list this year, as I am trying to avoid injecting sugar into my body.
A lovely vegetarian English breakfast!
Beautiful Notting Hill
And, of course, I love the little British fashion mags, some of which have giveaways packaged with them. So fun.
Have a great time, A&R!!!!
