  • Love London Xx

    After a tense day of walking through the beautiful Bishops park, hitting the gym and sauna followed by a visit to my favorite designer consignment shop on new kings road (found two beautiful dresses, both of which didn’t fit…but we’ll ignore that for now) , what’s better than a glass of Spanish cava, fresh baguette
