My Last Day In London

notting hill3notting hill7

I only had time to make one stop before I leave for KL, it was a toss between Oxford St. and Notting Hill, of course NT wins for sure, it wasnt a fair competition, my bad. However, the retail shops only opens up around 12 on Sunday, so mama and i just walked around the residential area and in the purpose of falling in love with the place.

There were also a stores that I really wanted to enter yesterday but didnt because I was afraid i didnt have time to cover the whole market in time since the store will be open on Sunday and the market wont! So, by taking my own sweet time, and absorbing every single moment in, i went into Cath Kidston to buy my kakyoi some baby stuff, and Graham and Green to please myself!

I've told this to every person i think, since I'm more involved in this 'design world' these past years, learning about new brands and designers, I appreciate the things that i see sooooo much more! A few yeas back, if i were to enter those two stores, i would be flustered only because its so pretty, but now, after blogging about it and educating myself about it, i appreciate it so much more simply because i recognize and value it! It was a very beautiful experience.

This trip has been my favourite among the others that Ive taken. There were so many dreams that came true, here's a recap :

1) crashed three markets and waterside colourful boats,
2) became the perfect tourist,
3) shop till i drop,
4) felt like royalty and 19th century lady,
5) went to Rome without the miles,
6) saw the world's famous stones,
7) walked on Europe’s largest waterfront development,
8) lost myself in the dinosaur world and the Laduree world,
9) cleaned out my wallet on a single street,
10) experience the things i blogged about in real life.

Im very blessed for having the opportunity to have gone on this trip. Dont mind me while i hug myself.
Cant wait to see you in the next post! I hope you'll have a lovely week ahead of you :)

  3. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us! I'm so glad you could visit all those places and be happy about it.

    I'll go to London in a month (just for some days, 'cause I go to Brighton too) and it's a dream to go there, so reading your posts has been amazing.

    I can't agree more with you about this thing you said about "recognising and valuing" things more after being in this blogging world, we appreciate it more I think. :)

    xx from madrid!
