London
London is one instagram heaven and at the moment Dalloway terrace is one of its shining armour's. It is definitely one of the most instagrammable cafes in London, precisely the reason of my frequent visits.
There is beautiful flower installation inside the cafe which is changed as per the season. So they have a new installation every 3 or 4 months. Everytime there is an installation change all bloggers/ instagrammmers/ content creators / photographers flock to it to get their seasonal pics of London. The earlier the better right, we are living in the time of being there first!!!! Sharing pics taken with the spring summer and autumn installation from this year. They already have a new winter installation which i can't wait to take pictures with!!
How to get there - A 3 min walk from Tottenham court road station.
Reservation - recommended although you can find a decent seat if you get there early.

The food - Since its a cafe, we shouldn't forget food. The question i ask here is will i go if it wasn't for lovely pictures? The answer is no. The food is ok but nothing that will make me want to come back again and again.
Now answering the question is Dalloway terrace worth a visit ? Yes its definitely if you are into instagramming content creating etc or love to eat in beautiful places. Not really if you just care for good food.
Have you been to Dalloway terrace ?

Here is my outfit from LFW SS19. I love going to fashion weeks. The buzzing social media with loads of fashion inspiration coming, be it on the streets or the runways. The energy is divine. Having said that this season i got a bit out of love for fashion week. I do hope it changes sooner than later. More on that in another post, today lets just talk about this look which is all about making an impact without even trying, or something like that.
Tartan check is one of those classic prints. Come autumn winter and they come alive on the streets of London. I saw this midi skirt on Zara online and knew i had to have it in my collection. So the order was made!! To style, I took the red and black from the skirt and wore a red high neck jumper and my trusty Zara sock boots from last year. Going with colours in a print is the easiest way to style prints. To add a bit of interest to the outfit yet keeping the effortless chic style i tied my hair with a leopard print scarf in matching colours.
The outfit is comfy, effortless, practical to walk around yet making one stand out in the crowd.

If you are on a budget or you are a student or you know someone who is this post will be super helpful because it lists down affordable eating and drinking locations in the capital. The tips will surely help you make appropriate savings that will help make a huge difference.
Being a student in an expensive city like London is hard. Forget the hard work of studying at
university, surviving financially as a student in London is just as
challenging. When it comes to money, one in five have never budgeted, which has
led to 84% of people worrying about making ends meet — with the biggest damage
being dietary requirements (60%), soon followed by mental health (50%),
relationships (42%) and grades (34%) consequently.
But there is help from services like Oxford tube that provide discounted tickets of a London to Oxford and vice versa coach to young people. And here is a fun guide full of
affordable eating and drinking locations in the capital that will make student life a tad bit financially merrier
Restaurants and Cafés
According to the Student Living Index of
2017, the average student dishes out £43.30 per month on going out with friends.
To help you get the most out of your money, take a look at some of the top
suggestions for eating out in London:
Franco
Manca
If you love your Italian cuisine, the name Franco Manca says it all. With over 40
pizzerias in London alone, the sourdough pizzas are to die for and are super
affordable. Accompanied with quality ingredients, the brick oven bakes the
pizzas, subsequently leaving a beautiful crust to munch on — and no, crusts
don’t give you curly hair!
When we say affordable, we mean cheap as
chips. Although with this USP comes a downside — Franco Manca is no secret to
Londoners, meaning that there’s always a queue outside. A tomato, garlic and
oregano pizza could be yours for only £4.95 (with
extra toppings ranging from £0.50-£1.75).
You’ll need something to wash down your main, so non-branded beers and ciders
are available to purchase for £3.65 and are just as good, if not better! Post
pizza, grab yourself a desert for just £3.95 too!
The average food spend at Franco Manca is around
£12.00 per person, allowing you to enjoy a night out knowing you won’t be
breaking the bank.
Haché
Burgers
Haché
is a popular burger bar in London; even the celebs like to dine there from time
to time. If the food was good enough for Amy Winehouse, it’s worth a try to get
those taste buds going! (Amy’s favourite on the menu was the Steak Canadien).
The main menu stands out from any other
restaurant in London, offering sharing starters which is ideal for you and your
foodie friends who want to start off the evening in the right way at a split
price. Although this is a burger bar, there are plenty of vegetarian options
that help make a more inclusive environment for all. Burgers are presented in
fresh ciabatta or a brioche bun — served with tomato and sliced sweet red onion,
along with a little bit of mustard mayo which is to die for. Sides, desserts
and drinks are also reasonably cheap!
Tatler magazine even quoted: “You could get a
decent burger, but nothing like Haché.”
Terry’s
Café
Let’s face it, we’ve all woken up craving a
full English breakfast after a heavy night out in London. Terry’s
Café is here to help you start your day off in the
right way — fixing that headache (and heartache?) in a jiffy. The café itself
is in Suffolk and is heavily proud of its British culture — as you walk in this
will be evident with the countless of black and white photographs documenting
local history.
The breakfast menu is quite cheap for a London
café, with a standard fry-up costing you £8, allowing you to make additional
stretches if you want to add something more onto your plate. If you can’t
stomach a fry-up on the morning, alternatives range from filling omelettes to
porridge!
On your visit, you must order a pot of tea —
what they’re most known for — and if you enjoy it that much, you can buy a box
to take home!
Bars
One of the heightened parts of university life
is the drinking culture — and we understand that there are places in London
that charge extortionate prices when there are cheaper alternatives. We take a
look at some of the hidden gems that will save you a fortune:
The
Shoreditch
If you love to boogie on the dancefloor, take
a trip to The
Shoreditch, who are specialised in making the most
delicious cocktails with a Tiki theme. Offering a Happy Hour service, you can
purchase two cocktails or four beers for £10 — and there’s no rush, with this
offer spanning from 2pm to 10pm daily!
Café Kick
and Bar Kick
All week from 4pm till’ 7pm, you will be able
to grab some deals down at Café Kick, where
cocktails come at a low price of £5 and house beer at £2.50 a bottle. If you’re
closer to Bar Kick,
this branch offers the same deals — perfect for students dotted around the
capital.
Bar Elba
We all love taking pictures of the London
skyline, and there’s no better place to do it than at rooftop bar, Bar Elba,
which overlooks everything. Take plenty of pics — Instagram at the ready!
Accompanied with their two-for-one Happy Hour deals (5pm-7pm), it is the
perfect location to start a sophisticated night out.

I stand super impressed by the street style from London Fashion Week aw18 and the ongoing Milan fashion week aw18. My love for fashion weeks as also mentioned in my trends and street style round up post from ss18 is more for the street style and the vibe in the city than the fashion shows. So a bit off that i have missed out on two successive seasons of fashion weeks because of my sisters weddings but guess thats what life is, different priorities different times!!! Ok anyways i have been all over the internet aka instagram to check my favourite fashion girls and fashion accounts also the #lfw #londonfashionweek #mfw #milanfashionweek and got these kickass street style looks that are super chic and effortless yet super fun and interesting. No unachievable unwearable looks that can neither handle a job nor are weather appropriate, seriously those looks might make good pictures but they never inspire me. Practical fashion made special does and here it is.
The key fashion pieces spotted are 1. the heritage check 2. the pant suit 3. the beige trench 4. the vinyl trench 5. wide leg trousers/ jeans 6. the blazer 7. the hand held bag 8. the dad sneakers 9. the sock boots 10. the white boots 11. the belt on the waist
London fashion week a/w 18 street style
Milan fashion week a/w 18 street style
I see myself wearing so many of the above looks with the pieces already existing in my wardrobe.
Thank you for stopping by, see you with my next.
