I have been in London for the past two weeks and let me just say, this city has been treating me very well. Other than the treacherous weather (and by treacherous, I mean the snowy downpour), I have had the opportunity to do quite a bit of exploring.

Sites visited this week:
     - Zoo Club (Monday evening)- Leiscter Square
     - Harrod's and its famous Tea Room (Wednesday)
     - Funky Buddha (Wednesday evening)- May Fair
     - V&A Museum and the Hollywood Costume Exhibit (Friday)- South Kensington
     - Covent Garden Market and Henry's Cafe and Bar (Friday evening)
     - Borough Market (Saturday morning)

Top Picks of the week:
V&A Hollywood Costume Exhibit:
- Costumes from: Atonement, Indiana Jones, Bourne Identity, Star Wars, The Queen, Breakfast           at Tiffany's, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Wizard of Oz, Batman, and many more epic films.
Borough Market:
- Many vendors serving a wide variety of foods and many a samples!! (I ordered some fresh salad served with delish humus for 3 pounds!)
- If the weather was just a bit better, the market would have been wonderful!








We saw the beautiful gown worn by Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette









A view of the outside of Borough Market, as well as a cute flower shop! I'm always drawn to the cool colors and the fact that they are able to grow flowers in the first place, given the weather and such!

While I have only been in London for the a little bit over a week, I honestly couldn't feel more at home or inspired. Every where I turn I spot a cool street vendor, a chic boutique, a bountiful heap of pastries, etc. 

This is just a quick sample of what is to come!

Greedy Cow Girl's Dinner- Mile End, London. 


I don't have to tell you what this is!
