First of all, I’m very pleased by Arcade Fire winning the Grammys. Just saying :)
Last week I spent few days in London, and my adventures started with a couple hour long wait for my friend that was flying in from Denmark. My first stop while waiting was Vafresco – a very pleasant surprise just outside the Victoria Station. This little restaurant offers fresh and healthy food and is quaintly decorated with fresh oranges that can be made into an orange juice right there in front of you. Staff is friendly, and the best – free wifi! :)
My favorite area in London definitely was Shoreditch. Shoreditch is located on the East side of London and currently can be considered as one of the trendiest and most artsy parts. Vibrant Brick lane is covered in countless restaurants, and all over Shoreditch are there are vintage shops and cool independent designer shops. Two of my favorites were Keep Zero Gravity and Hurwundeki. The idea of combining a salon with a boutique is something I had been thinking of before and now I just once again saw how brilliant of an idea that is.
Spitalfield market is great for both vintage and newly inspired designer lovers. The market is open during the week but ,from the conversations with the designers and sales people there, I unraveled that the best day to experience the greatest variety of goods is Sunday. So, all you hipsters, better get down there!

Sunday-Up Market is a great place to visit if you love to turn every meal into a cultural adventure. From the wide range of choices I picked Shrilankian food because that was one of the foods I hadn’t tried before.
“K0G is all about experimental womenswear designs,that blur the boundaries between art and fashion.”
“Classic chic and simple swank are central to Hurwundeki’s collection. [Their] designers are resolute in providing a fit that is not only snug and flattering, but one that sees materials we use of the utmost importance and essential to providing excellence.”

I heard this song on another blog I get a lot of inspiration from, and now I cannot stop listening to it.
