Hello mes amis! Here are the last few pictures of my London shopping trip. The picture above and below are the Horse Hospital and Stables shopping mall. It is literally old horse stables from the late 1900's converted over to a mini shopping mall with all of the architecture and design left in it's original state. It was really a cool and nostalgic place to spend some money! It is located in the Camden section of London, and it is a very popular shopping destination for locals and tourists alike.
Picadilly Circus...
LOVED the big sign....especially the message for Japan!
...everyone needs a good rifle maker!
A cute little old-fashioned sweet shop down in Picadilly Circus....
An upscale nightclub complete with red-carpet and velvet ropes....
...yes, that's Mary Kay trying to get in. (haha)
I just loved this humble little building in the middle of such a huge city. It's probably been an "Oasis" for many of people in the past...
The most awesome antiquing at Portabello Road....
...everything from A to Z could also be found here!
from flowers....
vegetables...
fruits...
... Paella and Calamari....
... to hilarious masks of royal figureheads.
Our last great meal in London....
Indian take-away...and it was one of the most delicious meals I think I have ever had!
If you are ever in London, you must try the red curry chicken with the long grain rice and traditional Indian bread, Naan.
Here are those beautiful earrings up-close that I purchased from the Victoria and Albert museum's gift shop. Expect some tassel inspiration in my up-coming winter designs!!!
I am so inspired by my trip to London and so very thankful that I had the opportunity to visit such a wonderful place so full of history!
