True To London

True To London

London could not have been anymore London than on this day. 

Clouds hung low and the air was cool when just the day before

I was strolling through Kensington in shorts.

But I want the true London experience so I will

 layer up and go about my day.

This look started with the denim, I knew I wanted to

take these DIY'd raw hem jean on their first outing.

DIYing them was super easy, just cut an even line and use

 a pair of tweezers to pull at the frayed ends. 

Distress and pull to your liking.

(I never wore these jeans, the cut was awkward so messing them up wouldn't be a big deal) 

I went with a loose lightweight sweater for warmth and

the light pink color brightened up the look a bit.

To finish the outfit I threw on this dark green duster,

it's lightweight and functional, perfect for layering.

And of course, my Converse were a part of this look.

First Day in London

First Day in London

I have been given the amazing opportunity to spend five weeks of

the summer studying in London. As much as I am here for school

 I fully intend to experience all London has to offer.  

I'll be posting all my adventures and the 

outfits I wore along the way, stay tuned.

My first official day in London was admittedly spent

in bed recovering from my red eye flight.

By the next morning, I could not get out fast enough.

That first venture out was basically a mash-up of everything touristy you could think to do in London: Big Bend,

 The London Eye, Tower Bridge, and of course a few snaps with

 the telephone booths.

I kept my outfit simple since I'd be walking about all day.

The not so basic white tee did what it does best and 

polished up the look. For a pop of color, I popped

 on this lightweight bomber jacket.
