London

I had another trip to London last week, nothing cultural this time, just a lot of fun and retail therapy!

We met friends for supper so it was a late night getting to bed but the following morning I was up and went with my daughters to Spitalfields to look for suitable clothes for their upcoming trip to India. How London has changed since I was a student, the Spitalfields market was a different experience then! Now the place is humming with visitors and with good reason because there are many interesting and individual shops as well as the lively tourist market activity. I love the varied architecture of the city, the mishmash of old and new is very evident in this area.

Some of the clothes made me feel like a kid in a sweet shop, the jumpers and cardis (I love a cardi!) arranged in mouthwatering colours. My role for the day was as opinion giver, whether wanted or not and clothes and bags holder and I felt that I did rather well.

Lunch was equally delicious.

We chose something sweet to take to the menfolk left at home!

I saw the stylist, Jemma Cotterrell jemma@theshoelovingstylist.com wearing the loveliest outfit. I liked every detail, perfect socks, delicate jewellery worn with a soft cotton skirt and such an uplifting knitted top. I'm going to pinch that look for the summer! Lovely to meet her. Jemma does colour consultations. What a treat it must be to have her advice!

We shopped until I, at least, was ready to drop.

Where next?

Home please, says mother!
