London for a Long Weekend
Over the past long weekend, I traveled to London with my fashion class to study street style, go to museums, and engage in activities around a new city! We took the Eurostar from Paris to London, which went by much quicker than I expected. I love London, and had such a fun time with new friends going back to some of my favorite spots in the city. We had a booked schedule of activities and exhibits every day, along with walking tours around fashionable districts. In our free time, we explored new neighborhoods.
It was really interesting to visit London after spending almost two weeks getting into a routine as fashion students living in Paris. London feels very familiar, and I think most of the students in our program agreed because it feels comfortable to spend time there, especially without a language barrier. London resembles a big urban American city like New York City or Los Angeles, but it also has its own unique quirks.
Must visits: The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Design Museum

London Fashion Trends I spotted over Spring Break and now Summer:
Breezy lightweight summer layers
Vintage mix
Fanny packs
Straight leg jeans
Fun hats
Satin bomber jackets, vintage, twill/cotton jackets
Cool sneakers, streetwear influence
London, you were so much fun and I’m happy to be heading back to Paris!
