A record 19.88 million tourists (international) visited London in the year 2016 making it the second most visited city in the world after Bangkok. Summer is the most frequented time and whether travelling to the city from places close or far i have got you covered with what to pack so you have a fashionable but practical suitcase full of clothes and things for a trip to my favourite city.
To begin with let me give you a let down on London style. I plan to cover what is London style in detail in a separate post but to just describe in brief, London style is classic and sophisticated with some quirkiness and edge. You always see the latest trends on the streets. Londoners have this polished and chic look with hints of fun and their own personality in their outfits. Somewhere between Paris and Milan.
The thumb rule for packing for any travel is to consider 1. the weather and no 2. what you plan to do in your travel. So before you begin to pack plan down your itinerary, if you are spontaneous kind and want to take as it comes, 100% think about the kind of activities you will want to do in the city even if you can’t plan it just yet and do a weather check so you know what is coming weather wise and there are no disappointments.
A bit about London weather- London is having it great at the moment weather wise and it makes me really happy, even though i am not in London right now i am happy for the city and and its residents who have had a rough time lately with terrorism and things. Yesterday was the hottest day in 40 years and my friends, family and everyone on social media was like we are dying, about to melt!!!! Lollllll !! I totally get it, just last summer i was about to faint twice in London due to the heat, its just weird how the sun falls! Haven’t ever really come close to that in Delhi where the temperature in summers is 45 degrees celsius plus but London 30 degrees plus means disaster. Having said that, such days are rare and i will always want it to be sunny in London. Glorious and divine in the sun! If one word best describes our London weather it is ‘unpredictable.’ Not a shock to experience four seasons in a day, bright and sunny (28 degrees) starts to rain (becomes 18) then the winds want to have a go (falls to 9) and if you are in luck it will be sunny again!!!!!! So you really have to be ready for all kinds while looking great, exactly the reason majority of London girls, carry a tote bag usually the Longchamp Le Pliage tote bag or a backpack with some shoes and clothes option.
Before i write down the essentials let me talk about this outfit i wore in London a week back to go to Peggy Porschen Cakes. Dress over jeans is literally my go to London summer outfit. Trust me what i told you about the heat wave is rarest of rare (the avg temp in London in summer is 20 degrees celsius) and even on the hot days, evenings may not be so bare legs are mostly not practical and summer means dresses so dress over jeans is my practical way to do summer in London. And now the essentials for summer in London.
- Bring flat sandals, white sneakers and the current trending mules. Spelling summer and warm weather take the liberty with your shoes. Keep a pair of heels just incase you go somewhere fancy. Restaurants can have dress codes so do check in advance.
- A light jacket- A leather jacket or a denim jacket or a trench coat- I say or because it all depends on the space in ur suitcase and why will u carry 3 jackets for a week long trip so choose what suits u best but in my opinion a leather jacket is the best bet because it is very versatile goes with dresses, skirts, jeans everything and works for semi formal to casual occasions.
- Keep trending shirts/ blouse to wear with jeans but also do not forget a plain white tee. White tee is super versatile for city outfits. Paired with skirts or jeans alike.
- Bottoms- Trousers and jeans, depends on what you wear. Shorts are not essential but you can certainly if you love them, will also suggest keeping a pair of tights to wear with shorts if it is not enough warm.
- Hat is the number 1 accessory for London. Londoners love to wear hats, go so well with the mood of the city. In case you can’t make space in your luggage you can always buy at Primark or Topshop for a day of fun around london town.
- Scarfs save you many a times- For summer you can keep a lightweight one.
- Bring on the prints, patterns and colours. With the sun more in sight the colours look more yummy! Bright dresses and skirts to pair with neutral pieces should be in your suitcase.
- Also keep a thin cardi easy to throw on over ur dresses.
- Bag - A tote or a backpack to keep all ur essentials for your day out and a fancy sling bag.
- Bring the bling with earrings, rings and necklaces.
- Pack a mix of neutrals and colourful pieces, trendy and basic pieces. A ratio of 2 trendy to 3 basic will help you create more outfits from few pieces.
- Colours to wear in London- Londoners usually wear more neutral colours black, white, grey and nude. Khaki and navy are other favourites. It has to do with the grey weather but in the summer you see a lot more colour on the streets. Bright hot reds, pinks, corals and the likes.
Essentials to keep in your bag for a day out in London- Umbrella, water bottle, sunscreen, something to eat like biscuits or anything u like, scarf / thin cardi / light jacket choose whichever goes well with ur outfit. Also make sure you have some cash to pay incase cards are not accepted or something wrong with the machines.

Reasons to love London, well, I have wanted to write this post since forever!!! The recent terror attacks on the city and now the fire at Grenfell Tower, London is clearly going through a difficult time and i have so much pain in my heart because it truly is the greatest city in the world. No matter how busy, chaotic, polluted it gets and how silly the weather behaves, London is and will always be a magnet. And today i am sharing the reasons that make it this city like no other and why i love it.
- Multicultural - Diversity could be its second name as almost every country in the world has a representation in this city so you meet people from all over the world, in a way the whole world lives here, different languages constantly enter your ears at almost every turn. I hardly hear english on the streets of London!!! A melting pot that welcomes you with open arms. You might want to tell me that there are many multicultural cities in the world but what makes this grand old city stand out is that its own British culture is still very much kicking yet a new person does not feel like a stranger. History and tradition with diversity, now you agree!!!
- A very pretty city- Extremely pretty with so many surprises. Victorian houses, brick walls, grand boulevards, parks, the modern constructions of canary wharf, the thames river, neighborhoods to get lost in beauty, cutest streets. The changing seasons, please let me know if any other city does spring and autumn better! Undoubtedly the most instragammable city in the world.
- The food scene- Thanks to the diversity you find every cuisine and every type of food here. Its like if a dish is being made somewhere in the world it is also being made in London. The swankiest michelin star restaurants, the delicious street food in the many food markets, the experimental food in quirky cafes or the classic afternoon tea (my fav) and not to forget some great traditional British food as well, after indian food, i can live on fish and chips.
- You are right in the centre of the world- London literally divides the world into east and west. Takes about 7-8 hours to reach New Delhi and the same amount of time to reach New York. Just so much easier and quicker to go anywhere from London. Be it trips to any of the pretty places in europe or a day trip to the english countryside or a different continent there are great connections and multiple ways to reach anywhere and everywhere from London.
- The architecture and the parks- Ok cities in the world have one or two beautiful historic and architectural buildings and they boast about it. And our London is filled till the brink with old architecture. No matter what part you go you have history and architecture for company. Its an enormous feeling. And what should i say about the parks, another one unmatched. Huge green spaces in the middle of the city. For e.g You walk 15 mins from one of the busiest streets in the world, the bond street, and you are in Hyde park and you just see greenery till the end of your sight. You go to hampstead heath and you feel like you are in the countryside. No exaggeration.
- The kickass public transport- Most of London does not own a car because it is one city with excellent public transport. All parts are well connected and the services run from early morning till late. I have hardly ever waited more than 5 mins for the next tube so you can actually depend on the tube for your life. Only helps that one can pay using contact less debit/credit card and of course oyster cards. From a tourists point of view the ticket machines are right at the stations and very easy to use. Not to forget the iconic red bus and the black cabs. The black cab guys are like moving london encyclopedia. Know it like the back of their hand. Very good to talk to as well, nice and chatty. A little furious with Uber, lol!
- Its always free to visit a museum- so you don’t have to rush to do it all in one visit. Museums are sources of knowledge for the people and hence they are free, the city maintains. Its actually so good, you are free to go as many times as you want and for as much time as you want. So for e.g i am in central London, i can just walk into V&A for 30 mins to absorb, will not really be the case if i have to pay.
- Made for the pedestrians- I love to walk and the city is made for it.
- London does not judge you- the freedom to be who you are without anyones influence and interference. Be it fashion or sexual orientation or religion or anything you can just be!
- Afternoon tea - Well i love my tea and the whole tea culture. If i have to choose, tea will be my favourite meal, if i may call, of the day. London does it best, should not be even said.
- Things like this in no order
- Walks over the thames and along the southbank, even better at night.
- the most famous royal family of the world lives here.
- you love music you get it here- the rolling stones, the beatles, to the present generation adele, coldplay and one direction that have and are shaping the international music scene. That said you have great music scene always and you might just get lucky and even get to attend a music concert for free.
- street food in the park.
- distinct neighbourhoods, compare shoreditch with chelsea or hackney wick with notting hill.
- sports and games - home to the biggest football clubs in the world, cricket- the lords, rugby, you can take a dip in the swimming pool used by michael phelps in the 2012 olympics, and my favourite the wimbeldon-i find it charming.
- It is possible to experience centuries old traditions. e.g The ceremony of keys at Tower London taking place since the 14th century.
- Some fab street art.
- Bar and pubs galore.
- It looks beautiful even when its rainy and grey.
- Its vast and full of surprises you can spend your lifetime and still not see it all.
- There is always a plan, so you do not run out of things to do.
- Sitting on a bench in a sunny regents park doing nothing and still not bored.
- Harry porter and Sherlock Holmes become more real.
- Kew gardens is a flower lover paradise.
- Very pet friendly.
- Its a champion at street style.
- the notting hill carnival.
- this list is endless and i will keep on adding to it.
I was flying to London from Athens on June 7th. We reached heathrow and after a few mins the captain announced to disembark. 2 mins later another announcement ‘everyone just sit wherever you can find a seat, we need to get a few security checks done’ ok everyone is a bit confused, people sit wherever they can and after a minute 2 huge policemen wearing bomb diffusers and stuff enter the flight, people in shock, i am scared as hell as they walk past me, they go straight to this guy sitting in one of the back seats and take him out of the flight. After they leave all passengers are relieved and thank god the flight dint blow away or something. The guy they took had infact checked in just before me, the security person at the boarding gate in Athens asked him for visa and he showed some card, then he asked him what does he do? replied i am a driver followed by some weird reaction to which the security person responded by asking what driver, Formula 1 and he said yes. I still wonder was the guy really something or was he just arrested for being weird. This was my first experience with anything close to terror and had put me in not such a good mood. Anyways I get out of the airport and reach Mayfair, there is a demonstration people shouting ‘ I am a threat.’ It was the day before the elections and the city was feeling a little heavy, me and my brother decided to call delivery and stay in. I was still a little out of sorts but the next day, the election day, i decided to walk on the streets before catching train to my sisters. With every step i am feeling better, London is coming back, my London mood is back. So it is really such a city, so resilient, puts you back on track in no time.
As you guys know i love to travel, while visiting new places and absorbing them gives me a high being in London gives me comfort. I very well remember and some of you might find it strange, even on my first flight to the city as a tourist i had the feeling that i was going home. London matches my frequency and captures my imagination and nothing more needs to be said.
Do you love London? Please share your experience.

I am getting ready to head out with my girlfriends to explore the mews of london, my outfit is well itched in my mind and i am really excited to put it on. Take my blouse out and after admiring it for sometime i look for my black jeans, can’t find it, i look again, its not there. I take a moment to assess what happened to my black denim and realize that i had actually not brought it with me to London because i had to replace my fading black pair with a new purchase from Topshop. My outfit comes crashing all the excitement of rocking my imagined outfit is replaced with oh no, what the hell!!! I don’t have the time to make a quick visit to the stores so in despair i look into my available bottoms options. I love all of them but just not with this stunning blouse so half heartedly i pick on this embroidered pair, put it on and out the door.
I meet my girlfriends and of course my morning horror story starts. No sympathy for not having my black jeans instead they tell me they are really glad that i dint have it. Yes they agree its a little beyond my style but i am looking very high fashion and i have actually done a great job at choosing a floral embroidered pair with a floral blouse. Similarities. That’s when i realize that sometimes instinct works better than conscience, because i just instinctively decided to wear this jeans. Also realize yet again that i should take advice from my friends more often, because so many times we are actually just seeking for their opinion, but fail to reach out to them, and friends don't let friends wear bad outfits, so obviously they give the right advice. And this is exactly what happened with me that day. I was so glad after their reaction and i too actually believed that the outfit was pretty unique and high fashion. My excitement for the outfit was back again, it got me compliments throughout the day and i also went ahead and shot the look.
So the credits go to my friends who understand my style and give me the right opinion and of course philistine, the brand this top belongs to. Its a new york based brand that ships globally. Philistine meaning a person who is indifferent to art and culture and that is a huge compliment in todays time. I like to think of myself as one and their clothes symbolize it in the best way. this moscow princess top made in cotton got me compliments from absolute strangers and i couldn't be more proud, check them out and see how distinct and fab their collection is.

No matter where you live and what you do, one item of clothing that will be found in your wardrobe is a pair of denim. For a few years the denim styles had stagnated and the skinny jeans ruled but since last year there have been quite a few ‘fresh trends’ and i have to say that although i was a bit apprehensive at the start i haven’t touched my skinny jeans, with the exception of my white skinny, which is only due to the fact that i only have one white jeans and that happens to be a skinny, for almost a year now! Yes and i loved skinny jeans, just goes to say how great the latest denim trends are. And today i am putting the top jeans trends for 2017.
- The embroidered jeans- i start with the embroidered because i am literally obsessed. Already own 3 pairs!!!! I much prefer flowers and leaves on my jeans than my blouse, and i know lot of you do too. So yes this one is perfect for us and If you are the colorful type go all out and pair it with an embroidered top.
2. Straight leg jeans- This one is closely cut but not snug to your legs. It is also the style that you see all the top bloggers of the world rocking.
3. The step hem jeans- Raw hems that are shorter in the front and longer at the back or shorter in the inner side and longer at the outer. Very fashionable but not fussy and very fresh. Great to show ur fancy footwear and also easy to diy.
4. Two tone denim- The two tones can be either slightly different from each other or majorly different, i prefer the one with slightly different tones and not majorly different as it is more versatile and hence easy to wear.
5. Pearls on denim- Its really huge at the moment, i mean if you are anywhere close to fashion you have this one. Instagram is full of it Thanks to ZARA, ASOS and TOPSHOP.

7. Mom Jeans- Have been around for quite sometime and going strong. Ripped versions of the mom jeans are supper trendy at the moment.

Denim trends of 2017
No matter where you live and what you do, one item of clothing that will be found in your wardrobe is a pair of denim. For a few years the denim styles had stagnated and the skinny jeans ruled but since last year there have been quite a few ‘fresh trends’ and i have to say that although i was a bit apprehensive at the start i haven’t touched my skinny jeans, with the exception of my white skinny, which is only due to the fact that i only have one white jeans and that happens to be a skinny, for almost a year now! Yes and i loved skinny jeans, just goes to say how great the latest denim trends are. And today i am putting the top jeans trends for 2017.
