during the aforementioned work trip, i had the pleasure of staying at the rosewood. while i didn’t love the location, the hotel was absolutely gorgeous. my room was generously sized and i definitely spent many hours in that tub.

london classics

the last bit of my london shopping included these two classics.  first, the louis vuitton train case is something i have had my eye on.  i’ve seen people use it for home decor, for travel, and some even as a bag.  i’m afraid to ruin its pristine condition so it is currently sitting out on display.  once i get over that though, i think it will be a great companion for my travels.

second, i have had an hermes scarf on my list for so long but never took the plunge.  that was, however, until i saw this stunner of a pattern.

i was playing around with the scarf and realized that i could fashion it into a bag, reminiscent of this one that i love but this is way too expensive for that it is.

i’ve always had a soft spot for chanel costume jewelry, and i invested in a few key pieces while i was in london.  the necklace is more subdued  that i would have expected to choose, but the station style is perfect for work and going out.

while in london, we were fortunate to visit the alaia exhibit at the design museum.  what struck me the most was that some of these dresses were 40 years old, yet you could easily imagine someone wearing them today.

i spent the long weekend in london with some dear friends.  we went to the “pret-a-portea” at the berkeley hotel, where all the cakes were inspired by this season’s fashions. the tea room was gorgeous and light-flooded, and the service was impeccable.

i was going through my summer euro trip photos and i realized that i never posted these pictures of a glorious meal we had at gymkhana.  i typically do not eat indian food in restaurants, but i always make an exception for this wonderful restaurant.

the kensington hotel, london

last month, i spent a whirlwind 36 hours in london for a business trip.  since i was there for such a short period of time, i wanted to stay in a new neighborhood.  i chose the kensington hotel, and boy, i haven’t had such strong decor inspiration since i was at hotel thoumieux in paris.

the kensington is such a perfect mix of english eccentricity and modern glam.  i love the colorful but subdued lounges, and of course the marble in the bathroom was lovely.  every time i turned a corner, there was something new to see (or a chess board, inviting me to sit).  the location is also fantastic, and the guest service was exceptional.

london sale purchases

21 Monday Jul 2014

i have a tendency to buy more when i am traveling than i would when i am home in nyc, perhaps because i feel like my purchases are good souvenirs of my trip.  in the past, this has led to many unnecessary and useless items in my closet and home.

therefore, even though i was in london for a month, i made a concerted effort to only buy things that i would also buy if i was in nyc.  this is all i came home with for myself, plus one blouse that i will post about later.  i am clearly going through a pink phase.
