I love London! Let me just start with that, I think it’s a great city, so much to do, vibrant and exciting. I was there very recently for work, something of a career high so far. Of course, no trip to London would be complete without fitting in some shopping time, which led to something of a mini luxury haul being squeezed onto the plane home! The air hostess was not so understanding, with my cries of, be careful with the holiday packaging! But come on, that Chanel camellia and the LV, so pretty this year.
London was as ever, bustling and busy, with the holiday season in full flow and dazzling with the Christmas lights. A senior colleague who had worked in London previously, also arranged for us to have drinks in the Ivy private members club, where the champagne was flowing. For a city so busy, and always on the go, it was lovely to have somewhere so private, and relaxing, to enjoy. The decor was rich, dark wood and sumptuous leather, the piano player a delight, and the atmosphere screamed indulgence. Dinner followed in the Ivy restaurant and did not disappoint, from the beautiful decorations to the first class food.
School night drinking is very limited for this new mum, the morning after definitely not so fun! The call of Louis Vuitton and Chanel forced me through the pain though, with retail therapy the best cure. The pain was duly passed to my bank balance, but there was a tweed Chanel mini rectangle that keeps calling my name, I think I’m going to live to regret not bringing her home 🤦🏻♀️
Living in Ireland, our luxury shopping is limited, so i never like to pass up the opportunity to window shop…….
Both pairs of earrings i thought were very classic and perfect for daily use, although i am obsessing on the Chanel logo earrings, i think they are so beautiful. The mini pochette, i have wanted to add to my collection for the longest time, but it is always sold out online. I asked on the off chance and this was the last one in the store (do they always say that??), i couldn’t pass it up. I currently also only have the monogram canvas in my collection and have wanted to add a damier ebene piece for quite some time. I forsee mostly using this as a catchall, but time will tell!
There is one left to unbox, but it is quite a special piece to me, and has a story all to itself. It is the biggest piece from my trip, and i am VERY excited about it. There is also a smaller LV box hiding in the main picture, it is a present for my best friend though, so i won’t be unboxing it. He deserves it, he makes my life better simply by being in it.
London, you did not disappoint!
Thanks for reading, and hope to see you back here soon,
