Tulips
It’s almost become a weekend ritual to meet up with my best buds and freeze our butts off somewhere new in London before retiring to a cafe or restaurant to gorge on junk food. This weekend was no exception- Dunya, Lucy, Kristabel and Liv and I meandered through the stalls at Columbia Road flower market, and must have bought up half the tulips. Cold doesn’t even cover it – even my cat mittens had to come out – so after we’d finished battling the crowds and peering through shop windows we hastily made our way to the Breakfast Club for well-deserved pancakes, bouquets in hand.

If you’ve got a free Sunday and haven’t already, be sure to visit Columbia Road and buy yourself some pretty blooms, eat yummy food and browse the shops. With the road being located in East London and considered rather hip, another plus point is that many a pug/french bulldog/dachshund can be spotted with their moustache-adorned owners, and we all know how much I love making friends with little furry fellas (dogs, not hairy men).
Taking outfit pictures in Winter isn’t much fun – really they just serve to show you my ever-growing collection of coats. But for anybody interested, I’d layered up underneath with a shirt, cat-faced jumper and a faux-leather pleated silver skirt. You can expect 100% more scarf/glove action in any posts coming up – I’m certain our little outing is the cause of my runny nose *sniff*.
I’m already looking forward to my next weekend adventure! x

Sounds like you had a great day with friends!
We are still experiencing hot weather in Australia, but I must say, I’m looking forward to the colder weather as I LOVE rugging up in cosy sweaters and coats.

You look like Coco Rocha!
I love that not only are your outfits beautiful, you are always doing or showing us something cool.
Love your multi textured jacket and your lifestyle shots of the tulips. The next time Im going to be in London, which will soon Im definitely going to be visiting Columbia Road to see what is happening there. Whenever Im in London I always try to do something different or see something fashionable that I havent seen before.
Keep up the good work!

Oo I love those buckets of tulips.. it’s seems unreal that you have flower markets there, while everything is covered with a thick layer of white snow up here..
oh darling
Very pretty! Love the tulips and your new hair (sounds really random… but I really do, hehe).
winter is such a bore but fresh cut flowers do wonders for a room! your outfit is chic as always and i am sucker for a beret. happy weekend.

I love seeing your posts of exploring London! I’m going to be travelling there in March and I dont think I’m quite prepared for how cold it is going to be especially coming from the Australian summer (we’ve had 45 degree heatwaves recently) I definitely want to make a trip to the flower markets

So charming!
