London with my Iphone camera

This is my last post from this London series. Since I discovered Instagram, I love taking photos. I am not very good at taking the perfect picture (I leave that to my very talented hubby) but with Instagram every photo can look good. So in London I took a lot of pics with my Iphone as you can see in the picture above. Here is a selection.

My beautiful cousin, Paula. Here we are at her work place in Soho, having a coffee.

Shoe department in Selfridges.

I loved how the menus were placed on the table

The best nachos we ever had

Portobello Market in London

One of our destinations in London was Portobello Market in Nothing Hill. We spent a few great hours on the famous street and found some amazing stores. And for a vintage fan like me it felt like being in a vintage paradise. I found the perfect vintage dress there, that I will show you in a special post. The place was full of inspiration and it's huge. You can find here plenty of nice stuff, from fashion accessories to home decoration stuff, clothes, antiques - collecting items and of course food.  If you are ever in London, stop by, you won't regret it.

Portobello Road is very big and on a Saturday with nice weather it can get very crowded.

It was the Jubilee weekend and the place was full of royal symbols.

Looking at some nice pieces of jewelry

Books

I'll take them all :)

British cupcakes 

Jubilee Cupcakes

They were delicious, I had a red velvet one and Traian has a chocolate vanilla one...yummy!

Of couse I had to put on a hat. Now where is the royal wedding?

And here is Paula. Stylish, right?

Some Scottish bagpipe music 

Having fun

I love Notting Hill!

Jamie's Italian in London

I am a very big fan of the British cook Jamie Oliver. I love his cooking skills and he is an inspiration when it comes to recipes and trying new cooking methods. So you can imagine that when Paula suggested to eat at his restaurant in London, I was incredible happy with the idea. The place is very cozy, the staff is young and friendly and the food is delicious. The only thing missing was seeing Jamie there. But I guess you can't have it all, right? 

Italian bread selection with olive oil and vinegar

We had a very fun afternoon, chatting, remembering our childhood years. So proud of my younger cousin.

The best brownie we ever had so far
