Sixties style in SW3

Days off are the perfect opportunity to play at being a tourist in your hometown, especially when your hometown is London. The city can be crushingly busy at weekends but is a pleasure to explore mid-week – a fact I’ve been taking full advantage of as I’ve got lots of holiday to use by November!

Most recently we wandered around Knightsbridge and South Kensington, taking in Harrods, the V&A and (my personal favourite) the Natural History Museum. In my opinion a busy day requires sensible footwear, in this case my new Michael Kors kitten heels obtained with a voucher I received from the kind folks at Zalando.

After creating an impressive wishlist I spotted and ordered these, my dream shoes, but in my haste I stupidly chose an American size 6…3 sizes too small. I experienced substantial distress when size 9 sold out but some kind soul (LOLz) returned a pair and I pounced. Some things are just meant to be…kind of.

I only time I wonder around London is when I am lost trying to find somewhere, terrible at directions. I love that dress, something I would choose to wear. You look Gorge xx

Hi Becky! I loved your blog and it immediately made it to my favorite bookmarks!

I have a similar dress that still is very ‘heavy’ to wear due to the always sunny (and hot) Greek weather..! But I’ll give it a try this week I think! :D

Hugs,
Dora

Oh my goodness – I spotted the last photo on Pinterest and had to click through instantly to see where that dress from from: it’s SO perfect on you! (And now I see it’s the Boden Audrey dress, I’m being taunted by it, because I’ve had an eBay alert set up for the green version for ages now!) Anyway, fantastic look, love every bit of it! And I also love playing tourist in my home town – it’s amazing the things you don’t ever get round to when you’re actually living in a city!
