Picture An Hour - Or thereabouts
Day trip to London to attend Next Press Day
8am - My day starts on the train with a Latte & Almond Croissant
9am - Some crochet for the journey
10am - I plan my route
11am - Almost arrive in London King's Cross
11.30am - First call Anthropologie, Liberty and Beyond Retro which are all within close distance of one another & through the mirror of a Liberty elevator
12.30pm The cutest pink Figaro car as I walk along the street from Beyond Retro
1.00pm - Arrive at Ladurée in Covent Garden for lunch
(thanks to a tip from Dani Loves, as I hadn't realised it had finally opened)
3.30pm - After a quick visit into the Very Press Event with Jen, we arrive at the Next Press Event, where we were given glasses of Prosecco and Afternoon Tea - the blurred person in the background is Sherin :-)
6.00pm - We left Next to cool down and sit in the park opposite, admiring the beautiful flower display on the way out
7.30pm - Finally on the train home, tired but content
9.30pm - I admire my nails that I had done earlier in the day at the event
Slightly cheating, I was too tired when I arrived home at 11.30pm to take this picture, so it's from the next morning instead. Goodies from the day - Very goody-bag purple suede bag; Beyond Retro tote bag (which I needed to buy having ran out of space in my own bag); Ladurée tea & macarons; Next goody-bag silk scarf & sunglasses; Smith's lip balm and Marvis toothpaste from Anthropologie
Outfit details: Vintage dress via Etsy ~ H&M rope belt ~ Casio watch ~ Chanel Nouvelle Vague nails

I LOVE the bag that was in your goodie bag! I didn't know there was a Laduree in Covent Garden! That is exciting! It was so nice meeting you--hope to see you again soon!

Your dress is so pretty. Lovely pics!
Lovely impressions of a great day :)
The flowers at Liberty are beautiful. The Covent Garden Laduree was just about to open when I was there a few weeks ago, I was disappointed to miss out!
Looks like you had a most amazing day! London is such a wonderful city! ^^ x
It was so great to finally meet you, and hang out at Next. Glad you enjoyed you whole day in London.
Your nails are beautiful what colours are they? i also like the blue of that bag, its a great flash of colour.

Love that blue bag - and it looks like you took some beautiful photos of a lovely day! x
Loooks like you had a lovely day. Your photos are beautiful btw, what camera do you use?
I really like your nail polish, I've fallen in love with the Barry M' instant nail effect recently, it's similar but in black, it looks epic.

Hi Paula, i enjoyed reading this trip...how long does it take from your place to london by train?

this post is just lovely, you always take the most wonderful photographs. i especially adore the first and last shots.
it was lovely to finally meet you at the next event! xx
I'm itching to go to the new Laduree in Covent Garden, I still haven't even tried one of their macaroons so this is all the more reason for me to want to go!
I do love your photo-an-hour posts. They always inspire me to want to take better photos!! Another fabulous post, xx
It's always fun to get a peek of your life! The almond croissant looks so nice, I wish they sell it here too.
