Vintage Shopping

I heart London style.

London is truly one of my favourite places on earth, I love the hustle and bustle and all the sights that you see. When I was last home I popped down to London with the Boy to get our fill of all things British and of course with plenty of rain thrown in for free as well.

First stop was Portobello Market full of vintage trinkets, lost treasures, great vintage finds, cupcakes, rain & oh and more rain! How happy I was to be home : ) I picked up some adorable vintage brooches with you will find over at The Vintage Jewellery Co soon, where I give vintages pieces a new lease of life.
I also found my dream London pad, I thought it looked tres Cutie Pie!
Of course I had to stock up on Topshop goodies, a very quick scoot around Anthropologie & my all time favourite Afternoon tea in Liberty's, whilst drooling over all the gorgeous fabrics & vintage homewear.

I'm saving my pennies for these lamps.
To top it off we spotted Jude & Sienna shopping in the menswear department. Not so cool was when I literally walked straight into Sienna......some things never change!

London Trip

I couple of weeks ago I took an inspirational trip to London & I've been meaning to share my pics with you for ages but we have been run off our feet here at Cutie Pie HQ.

  I love going down to London on the train from Norfolk & am full of excitement when I hit the streets. London street style always fulls me with inspiration & of course I also used this chance to hit Topshop as I dearly miss it living in France. I stocked up on cute little dresses which seem to be taking pride of place in my wardrobe. But my favourite part of all was popping into Laduree in Harrods to sample the yummiest macaroons ever & I'm lucky enough to have plenty of patisserie's on my door stop too & I can tell you that I have sampled my fair share of macaroons. But Laduree's packaging is just so gorgeous, that it is my new aim to collect all their sweet ice cream coloured boxes. My favourite flavour has to be the Vanilla ones, delicious.
