Casual Saturday in Classic London Style

11/16/18 | Fashion Friday, London Photoshoot, Rebecca Minkoff, Uniqlo

London Blogger in Red Phone Booth at Covent Garden

Hello, hello! I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I would totally have a much more full time fashion blog if I had a talented photographer at my disposal to take photos like these on the regular, but alas, it is an odd occasion.  When I see my Mom every other month we try and get quite a few looks in or in this case when my friend Kier of Kier Couture came to visit last month we took photos at iconic locations as I showed her around my new home town on a gorgeous Saturday.   These first set of photos were taken at Covent Garden, one of my favorite places to take friends, and the second set were taken near the Tower Bridge on the South Bank – both in Central London.

We actually started our day – a bit later than planned due to a big night out – exploring the Tower of London and the crown jewels.  Afterwards we walked across Tower Bridge to the South Bank to take photos in one of my favorite spots.  (You may recall, I did shoot here before). The weather was gorgeous and corporated expertly which was nice – it is rare to see London without a cloud in the sky! But don’t just take my word for it – you can head to Kier’s YouTube and check out her London Vlog of our entire trip or a closer look at what she wore on our first day of exploring!

    I love both backdrops. I can see that London had a warm November day and no rain. Warmer than nyc. You need to hire a new camera person. You could have hired my boyfriend if he was there. I love your top.

    Not sure which spot I like better. They are both great.

    That top I need to get! I could wear it with jeans like you or I bet it would look super with white or black pants too and can be dressed up or down. So versatile and current.

    Those sun glasses look great on you too!

    To me the red phone booth shows off the boots and the bell sleeve really well. So that would be my photo shoot choice.

    The day looks so bright and clear that the shots near the river are fantastic. You and your girlfriend look like you are having a lot of fun too. London has so many iconic spots!

    You are rocking those boots. The over the thigh look is perfect on you.

    Great backdrop for the photos too.
