If you have any kind of fashion sense at all, London is definitely a treasure trove of flowing skirts of any length, layers like a cake (or an onion...), mis-matched accessories (think pink scarf, blue skull earrings and neon yellow ankle socks, with a lace cuff) and 4"+ platforms circa Spice Girls for every fashionista. Unfortunately, that is not exactly my scene, so during our tour of the high end shopping tour portion of the day, I chose instead to admire the architecture and cobblestone (real cobblestone, on every sidewalk and street)--which is beautiful, by the way. Post-tour, we headed to a local agency, where we heard lots and lots and lots of advice from British professionals about how to survive the AD/PR industry in the big leagues. We were served delicious hand sandwiches and fruit, and then to keep us cool, ice cream bars!
We finished the night out at dinner on Liverpool Street at the Canteen, where I enjoyed pork roast with carrots and potatoes like a true Brit. It seems so weird--and let's be honest--a lot surreal, that I have strolled the streets of London, surfed the Tube like a local and ordered a serviette in place of a napkin. It is truly beautiful here, with all the old history in every nook and cranny.There will be lots of shopping in store for tomorrow! I discovered a fancy little shop with sparkly London stickers but am still on the lookout for some exciting souvenirs that are not of the British-flag, shot glass or Big Ben variety. A demain!
Drinking it up in London. That is what I like to see. Luv Judy
