London, I love you always and forever.
My recent trip to England was #insane. So many wonderful things happened and every day felt like a total whirlwind. Highlights included: staying with Charlie May and Lexxie, meeting the people behind Tank Magazine (Kim and Caroline are amaaazing. Yes, Caroline ISSA, she told me I was gorgeous and I pretty much died. I’ve adopted her as my mentor even though she doesn’t know it yet). I discovered Shini has WAY too many shoes, went to the Nelly party, ate lots of burgers and milkshakes and managed to catch up with some of my favorite PR people including Susie at Trace, Harriet at HPR, Rachel at Shine and the stuffed bear at Varg (we had a little cuddle). I had so much fun. I got to ride a Boris Bike and roam around east London like it was nobody’s business. I got lost every day. I FINALLY did some summer shopping (at Aubin & Wills) and I got to spend an afternoon with VV Brown and Nik Thakkar. Love. That was all in one week… no wonder I came back home exhausted.
This coming summer I’m doing a bit of a traveling tour. For simplicity’s sake I’ll keep my plans updated on this blog post. Things always tend to change last minute but at the moment this is what my summer is looking like. Also, for the record, I work freelance and have time to take on new projects… so if you want me for anything please holler this way (stylecrusderBOOKINGS at gmail.com). Merci. xx
p.s. long term plans for the blog include a book (which I’ve recently started writing) and a mentorship program. If you’d like to talk to me about either of these two things or support the cause please let me know. I’m looking for sponsors and people to work with. Kiss kiss.

Please can we arrange for me to live inside a flower market?
There is nothing I love more than being in London on a sunny Sunday. Why? Because I love Columbia Road Flower Market (so much). When I was last in town I spent an unusually warm day lazing about the market. It was so crowded but I loved every minute. I wore a double printed look from Aubin & Wills which I love. It’s super soft and silky. Perfect for feeling easy and breezy but looking a bit put together.
p.s. yes, posing with a potted flower plant was essential (although highly cliche).
Wearing: Everard skirt and Willington vest with white Converse. Props: flowers and yellow SIGG bottle.
Massive thanks to the Cat for keeping me company and taking my outfit shot.
Hiiiii from London. Yes, I’m still here. I’m writing to you from the sofa of Charlie and Lexxie’s house where I’ve been staying. Thankfully they haven’t thrown me to the streets yet. The UK’s bipolar weather patterns are starting to wear on me. Clear skies are a massive rarity. When they hit people go mental with excitement and sweaty men decide it’s acceptable to walk around with their shirts off (eww). The weekend was awesome because it was el scorchio which meant I could go bare legged. Nothing makes me happier. Now it’s freaking freezing again. Boo. The misery.
Completely obsessed with this simple slouchy silk dress. Love the oversized arm holes and elongated back. Thank god I put on a pair of shorts underneath – the wind was acting like a nasty mother. Marilyn Monroe might be chic but no one needs to see my (heart print) pants.
p.s. flowers are officially my favorite accessory for spring.
Wearing: Topshop Boutique dress, Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, Converse and clutch by Style Slicker.

Man, I failed on my vow to wear only black until hot weather came. Oh well, please forgive me… I guess I bore quickly. Plus, the lure of spring is just too strong. Instead of baring my legs I’ve decided to cover them in floral prints. I’m probably guilty of wearing skinny jeans far too often but at least these make the standard shape feel somewhat new. I like wearing them with this Muriee T-shirt that has a faint pink polka dot pattern on it. Perfect for doing a bit of print clashing but discreetly.
Wearing: 7 for all Mankind Garden Party jeans, Muriee T-shirt and cashmere scarf, Sambag tote, Bottletop Luciana purse, Moxham pink clutch, Rayban aviators, Topshop ring, Madewell jacket and Zara shoes.
