My cousin Katy and I made it to London after a long day of travel which included the usual awful feeling of jetlag accompanied by sore muscles from an unscheduled run through the Chicago airport. We took on London by storm and, with the gracious help of my aunt and father, we navigated around spotting famous areas and being incredibly astounded by all the amazing views. (incl. The Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, & Buckingham Palace)
Our second day was one to be remembered. The air was light, the jet lag was dissipating and Comedy of Errors was playing in the Globe theatre. With our £5 tickets, we became 'groundlings'. We experienced the play standing, up close and leaning on the stage while the actors almost stepped on our hands and startled us with their comedy. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
Katy left this morning so today I rummaged around London with the help of my aunt. We viewed art at a collection house that featured several beautiful Rembrandts and got home in time for dinner and cappuccinos. London is spectacular.
Inspired by the Londoner look, I wore my 'kimono' type overlay from F21 over a long sleeve, high waisted AE jeans and Chelsea Boots from somewhere in Germany. The locals here dress classily and a well tailored suit is often seen. If you get passed all of the tourists, the London vibes are calm, introverted and, outfit wise and otherwise, meaningfully composed.
Cheers,
