Adventures Across the Pond :) :)

I was so fortunate to recently head over to Europe with family & friends...the trip was a beautiful example of manifestation as it came out of the blue as a very special gift.  I got the call, said, "YES!!!!" & before I knew it I found myself in London with near & dear ones...
Here's a peak at my adventures....

strolling around Mayfair in the sunshine was blissful....
 I adore this hood', it's kind of like a slightly grander, more polished
West Village...
Grosvenor Square captured my heart.  It's so beautiful & peaceful & they even have a 9/11 memorial...
& the doorways, well, the pictures say it all...
as luck would have it Saatchi Gallery was running an exhibit on Coco Chanel!...
& one of the biggest highlights for me was visiting the motherland that is Alexander McQueen...
& the warrior queen that they do so well...
I was struck by the contrast in London- from light & heavenly....
 to dark & ominous...
 (we even caught a full moon over the Tower of London!)
 now this dark side is way more up my alley...The Fumoir bar at Claridge's...
 the walls look lacquered but they are actually leather which doesn't absorb the smell of smoke... 
this, my friends, is what you wear to The Fumoir... 
I don't smoke but would make an exception to rock this outfit from the Chanel exhibit, cigarette extended from hand in a glamorous holder...

but alas it was time to say cheerio to London & before we knew it we were on the Eurostar headed to the City of Light...Paris up next!
