Found my camera card…!
So! London was our last adventure before we came back to the US. The Tower of London was really special because I have a weird obsession with prisons & was dying to see the prisoner’s historical stomping grounds. Of course, the The Crown Jewels sparked my interest as well. I mean, what girl doesn’t want to wear a 530 carat tiara? Another memorable destination? The Caviar House Oyster Bar @ Harrod’s. This was recommended by my friend, Simone, because of my love of oysters & pink champagne. London was a lovely way to end the trip; I can’t wait to go back!
Recommendations from my London experience: for shopping, Harrod’s is a one stop shop. The food is quite Americanized in London, so you can’t go wrong with fruit, nuts, oysters, eggs, pasta, veggies, grilled chicken, &/or champagne. We stayed at a boutique hotel, The Milestone, were they served afternoon green tea + cranberry-filled crumpets w/ the freshest blueberry jam [ << can we do this in the US on the reg?! ]. Best dining experience: Sale e Pepe- amazing salads, charming ambience, & delicious, crisp white wines.
+ Thank you to those who had fabulous travel recommendations/suggestions- definitely used them : )) ! X.

Love your post lauryn. Been in London and except for the weather (which is pretty much dreary all day long) love the whole experience.
ps. love the scarf
Thanks doll ; ). Agreed, the weather wasn’t amazing! The oysters made up for it! Thanks for reading! x
London really is the best. The tower is amazing, unfortunately there wasn’t enough time for a stop at Harrods. Guess that gives me an excuse to go back. Thanks for sharing!
