During my time in London, my days were not spent walking the urban streetmarkets or checking out the sights but instead they were spent in a small bright classroom on the top floor of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Having participated in two of their summer courses for 16 to 18 year olds last summer, I wanted to relive the experience again. Last summer I attended Fashion Styling and Making Fashion. I absolutely loved the experience, therefore signing up to the two week course Fashion Sketchbook. As Central Saint Martins currently has several small buildings located around London, I wanted to try out a different location from my previous year and this time at Back Hill. And boy am I glad, as it proved to be truly fantastic! The two weeks were spent working off a theme, learning important information about fashion illustration, as well as the industry itself, all while building our sketchbooks with our own fashion illustrations.

Ah the V & A (Victoria & Albert) Museum is without a doubt my favorite when it comes to London Museums.

Now I don't know about you, but I like to reward myself on random occasions such as this one. What better way to do this than by eating cupcakes, and pretty ones at that. Fresh from The Hummingbird Bakery in London. Yum! Admittedly I rarely indulge in cupcakes but these proved to be perfectly divine making the experience truly memorable :)

For those of you who have yet to experience the wonders of Bond Street London and might not even know what it is, I thought I'd give you all a glimpse of my favorite London Street- Bond Street. It is one of the most fashionable shopping streets in all of London with some of the biggest names and brands having stores on it. Stocking high end brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Cartier, Chopard, Bally, Mulberry, Alexander McQueen, Chanel and so so many more.

Bond Street also happens to have my favorite chocolate boutique there, Charbonnel et Walker. The truffles are absolutely divine and they come in gorgeous boxes which I like to create displays with in my room. From personal experience I can truly say that the Pink Marc De Champagne Truffles, and the Dusted Strawberry Truffles are spectacularly scrumptious!

The displays you can create if you are a chocolate lover with something as simple as a chocolate box can add a lot of personality to your room, desk, or even bathroom. I have them displayed in all of those places and think it looks really cute and unexpected yet blends right in. What do you think? Something you might want to try?
