As beautiful as London is Christmas this year was prettier than ever. The shops, restaurants even estate agents have got on the decoration bandwagon with full love. I should speak less in this post and just let the photos speak how beautiful London looked during christmas this time. You will also find some of my outfits i wore during the christmas holiday period!!!
Annabels Mayfair was definitely the highlight this year.
Covent Garden, beautiful as always.
Mayfair - Even the estate agents jumped on the decoration bandwagon.
Belgravia- My favourite place always beautiful.
Oxford street
One new change - they put up christmas wings on the rooftop terrace. Stunning. This picture almost looks like from a different world.
People of London are definitely spoiled around christmas time. And in my opinion it is the best time to be in London.

England has been extremely lucky with weather in 2018, don't want to jinx anything but i just can't get over my contentment with it. Autumn was beautiful. It was well pleasant and London killed with the decorations. Its just getting better and better and more and more shops / restaurants / and spots are getting into and getting better with the display game. Here are some of the best spots to see and take photos during Autumn in London.
1. Kynance mews- Top of the list of best instagram spots for photos in London is Kynance mews. The unique arch ladden with red leaves is a sight and the best part you wouldn't find people there so you can take the pictures at peace to your hearts content.
2. Covent Garden - Covent garden always has stunning installations. Be it seasonal or some event. The autumn one was epic.
3. Belgravia - The lovely neighbourhood has become extremely insta famous ever since Peggy Porschen Cakes graced it with its ever stunning and changing with the seasons installations. It is really my favourite place for pictures in London. No matter what time of the year. You have 4 stunning insta spots in a row. Dominique Ansel followed by Peggy's followed by Moyses Stevens then Le Senteurs.
4. South Bank - With the river thames as backdrop south bank looks particularly stunning with the autumn leaves.
5. Hyde park and Regents park - Lush but with yellow, brown and red leaves. These London parks look their prettiest when every leaf turns into a flower.
6. Hampstead heath - This village in the city is a must visit in autumn to find some of the most beautifully covered by autumn leaves houses.

Skinny or relaxed fit bottom? There was a time when i would only wear skinny fit jeans and trousers. And actually disliked the looser fit bottoms. But thanks to instagram and all the fashion inspiration from the bloggers like i gave relaxed fit bottoms a try and OMG i am a convert. Fallen in love with straight fits, mom jeans, flared, wide leg! Bring it all!!
The fit of the trouser instantly changes the look as you can see in the two looks below, with the same top and shoes. Relaxed fits have a more cool and effortless vibe which i love! I can't really decide which is my favourite but i do think relaxed is more comfortable and at one time recently i felt a bit claustrophobic wearing skinny jeans having got used to wearing the looser styles recently.
Let me know in the comments which fit you prefer?

The one trend i have been absolutely in love with is wearing scarves as hair accessory. Just one of those things that can freshen up a look. And its so practical as well. Saving on those bad hair days plus with the cold weather here definitely want to postpone hair wash to the max possible, lol!!
Zara has a great collection at the moment, i have got all mine from there. Animal print is a great option being one of the hugest trends. Also good idea to incorporate the animal print trend in your look in case you find animal print too much. Another print that has been trending is the Italian scarf print. I have got both!!!
Styling is super easy, because it brings that fun element into the look you can care less about matching etc.

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 ?

Without any detours here are two easy tips to wear two checks aka a check on check look / outfit.
1. Keep one bold and one subtle. As you can see in this outfit. My trouser has small subtle check and my blazer has big bold check. I am clothed in print but this way the outfit still looks effortless and chic. I would also like to add if there is an area on your body that you want to conceal, for eg if your top part is heavy you can choose to wear small print on the top part of your body and vice versa.
2. Second tip for wearing two check prints is to stick to neutral colours so you keep the effortless vibe going. Styling it for your body shape you can choose to wear a darker print on the area you want to conceal and lighter print on the area you want to highlight.

Wearing two animal prints sounds too intimidating. It was certainly to me until i took the plunge and wore this outfit. Snake print skirt with leopard print scarf and shoes. Extremely happy that it turned out effortless still. The way to wear such striking prints together yet keeping it all effortless is to go with the same colour. My scarf, shoes and skirt are the same colour as you can see.

I get secretly obsessed with fabrics. But good news if the obsession happens to be a trend!! Corduroy which is a huge trend for aw19. I am obsessed with trousers mainly and at present count i own three corduroy trousers. 2 out of which are bought in the last 2 months or so, so i might be on the way to adding a lot more corduroy pieces to my wardrobe. We shall see!! Now about the outfit i love blue and this shade sang to me a lovely melody so i had to get it. I did stick to my rule and imagined at least 5 outfits i could make with this trouser before buying. This is outfit 1 and others will follow as and when.
Styling it i wore a check blazer and black sock boots. Its a great autumn outfit. Corduroy being a thick fabric works perfectly for the colder temps and the check print tends to be more popular in autumn winter as is. This outfit is also a good example of one that can work for casual as well as formal. That is the thing about corduroy it works well for both casual and formal occasions. So if you like this trend as well, good news!

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.

Autumn is my favourite time of the year. The light layers and cosiness without having to think about cold cold is just fabulous. Here is the easiest autumn look to wear this year and every year really. A bottom + a dress + a jacket + loafers. Its a look that makes more use of your summer dress. A good example of how to mix prints in case you find them intimidating. The leopard print loafers paired with the camouflage print jacket. The outfit is a great example of how to do an fun look that is still minimal. Keeping the colour palette neutral is the trick. Also a good example of how to do the biggest trend of the season animal print in a subtle way.
I took these photos in the lovely village Brewood in Staffordshire UK, a quaint little english village with all the charm as you can see.
