Visit to London..

Last week, I went down to London to visit my friend Anya.

It was only my second time in London, being a suburban northern girl it can be a little scary but we had a ball.. I took my camera down, although my current lense is a 70mm to 200mm so its pretty damn long and not ideal for the busy hustle and bustle of London town. I decided to take my Lensbaby composer, its small and sweet. The creative lens is great, although it got a little bit tedious at times.

We went to Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park. Which was beautiful, but really really busy.

Busy London street :)

The next day we went to Notthing Hill... I devotedly searched for the blue door from the fil (I had no luck) I did however discover loads of fabulous little gems. 
There's a little shop in Notting Hill and I could kick myself for not remembering the name of it, its on the way to Portobello market, and is ran by one of the last truly fabulous woman. The store sells custom pieces, reworked vintage, all handmade designs. The selection of jewelry drew me in and I was amazed once I walked in. The counter was an actual head, it was mesmerizing and just beautiful!!

 
After a lovely chat with the owner, we carried on towards Portobello Market i.e heaven oohhh it was exciting!!.. There is literally bargains to be had everywhereeee!!!! There's nothing I like more than getting stuck into a heap of old clothes and digging out the bargains! I got some vintage Toggi chelsea boots for £20, loads of items from a certain stall that was selling everything for £10, got a few pairs of Levi' and denim jackets! Super cute!!

Street jam!! These guys were so cool, they used an old suitcase as a drum. Sounded great too :)
