London Baby!

My last day in London and the conclusion to my little European adventure. This day was filled with lots of walking and sightseeing. One of the firsts (and main) things I visited was Big Ben, which was more beautiful than I remember. The best view is definitely from the bridge, as you can see the houses of parliament along side it. Funny enough when I opened instagram this morning I saw one of the accounts I follow posted a clip of this exact same spot in 1896. It's crazy to see people walking in the exact same post over 100 years ago and how much life has changed. Here is the clip if you are interested !  Before Visiting Big Ben I paid a visit to Westminster Abbey, which is right around the corner.  After Big Ben was Trafalgar Square.... unfortunately its mostly under construction so it wasn't much of a sight at the moment.  But I carried on!  I stopped by the Savoy Hotel, a stop I wanted to make due to the amount of old Hollywood stars who have stayed there, including Marilyn Monroe. My next stop was Rules, the oldest restaurant in London. It might seem familiar if you've watched Downton Abbey. An absolutely breathtaking restaurant. I always go to the oldest restaurant in the cities I visit, I did the same in Paris and I also went to the Oldest restaurant in the world, located in Madrid.  

Not to list off my entire itinerary but the next stop was Covent Garden and I also stopped by Blackout 11 Vintage. The store was lovely filled with treasures on both floors!  Honestly I could've spend hours browsing through and trying on a million hats. I did buy a dress there but you'll have to watch my Haul on youtube (coming soon!). I ended the day in London fashion by eating in a pub. You all know me, I'm not a pub girl, we have tons of British and Irish Pubs here in Toronto but its not quite my cup of tea. But I figured I might as well go to at least one while in London. I had Barbecue chicken with caramelized onions and potatoes (yum!). And for dessert there was Sticky toffee Pudding, one of my favourite desserts so I knew I had to have at least one in London. 

As for my outfit: I am wearing a vintage 1940s dress, its in the most gorgeous Lavender shade that I think compliments my skin and hair colour quite nicely. Since the outfit is all one colour I tied in the colour of my hair to my shoes to balance it out (lol) so I wore these brown block heels. And of course I'm using that one vintage handbag I brought (sorry I know you are probably sick of it). 

Overall I had an amazing time on my trip! Trips usually go a lot faster than you want them to and I wish I could've stayed longer. But I was gone for two weeks so I guess I cant complain. I already have two videos up, my Milan travel diary and a Seville vlog. I'm still working on my London travel Diary so make sure you subscribe to my channel so you don't miss it XOXO
