So here I am!! My 5th day here in London and it’s starting to feel like home now. I’m slowly discovering my favourite brunch spots, Thai restaurants, my favourite pubs and of course I got my Oyster Card so I can stop spending so much money on taxis!!! I caught the bus for the first time yesterday, walked through Kensington Gardens, rode my bike to Tower Bridge. All the little things that I guess most Londoners would consider the most mundane things to do, but they all make me super excited. I’m already making lots of new friends and I feel so welcome here. The city is buzzing as the weather warms up. I guess I came at the right time. I spent my Sunday lazing around in the sunshine. It was just perfect.
As most of you know, I love wearing Forever New. Even more so now that they have just brought out their petite range! Yolo to all my petite ladies out there! I’m about 5’3″ in height so I can probably get away with wearing most things but I do come across issues of my jeans/pants being too long. I’m such an advocate of dressing for your size. I’m a size 10 and everyone looks good when things fits them properly. You can have the most beautiful dress but if they are too tight, too short, too long, you are not going to feel comfortable and that will show in your confidence. It’s all about rocking whatever it is that you wear. To me confidence is very attractive.
I’ve had many conversations over coffee with my friends who are petite and the issues they have when they shop. So I am so happy that Forever New has brought out their petite range. You can get this whole look from Forever New online. Including my favourite cropped denim, I know I will be living in these jeans here in London! Here I’m pairing them with a beautiful blush sweater and matching bag – all head to toe Forever New. I’m finishing this look off with this beautiful grey faux fur coat and white sneakers with gold details! All are in my shop!

Oh how very lovely … Londres is beautiful but very unpredictable in weather, fashionable or not, always carry an umbrella 🌂 along. I’m so happy to hear you are starting to feel like home, that is definitely one of the best feelings to have when you first move to a brand new country. Love it! 🙂
Have yourself the beautiful week coming up. -

How exciting! I wish I could just pack up and move to the other side of the world. I will one day. Not sure when but I just know it’ll
happen. Probably when I decide where I actually want to live hahaha. London would be so amazing though. Enjoy. BTW I also have the same issues with jeans. I can get away with most pieces but pants are usually too long and I need to roll them up. My go to for pants has always been ASOS but I’ll have to check out Forever New now! -

I love this coat and the entire look is amazing on you! I always thought you were taller, but I’m the same height! I love your instastories. London is so pretty. I can’t wait to visit again. When I do, we must do tea at Peggy Porschen! We only just moved and found our place in Florida. I hope your hunt is going well!

Hey my lovely babe! You have totally settled in so well! I can’t believe it’s called on Oyster Card lol. Sounds odd to me but our Opal card probably sounds odd now too haha. I noticed the petite range at Forever New recently and immediately thought of you!! I was like oh this is so Ash’s thing! You have styled everything so immaculately as always, fashion is definitely your calling.

My sis!! I’m so glad your move is being smooth and amazing! It makes me feel so happy to know that everything is falling into place, and you can truly read how bubbly you are about London! Can’t wait to meet you super soon so you can introduce me to all the yummy places in london. I’ll sure do the same if we ever get to be in Barcelona at the same time.
Love you always xxx
