My trip to London (photos & vlog) | Oxford street, Sherlock locations, Big Ben, St James's Park & more!

If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram or YouTube, you would know that I took a trip to London last week. I uploaded a vlog on my channel (that you can check HERE or at the end of the post) but I wanted to share some of the photos with you as well.

I love Oxford street and all that area. I love the stores, the clothes, everything! I only went shopping at Primark because I didn't want to spend too much money, but I love walking around and seeing what this lovely street has to offer. 

St James's Park is one of my favorite parks in London and, of course, I took the time to go over there to take some photos. If you want to see more, follow me on Instagram because I thought it would be much if I posted more here, but I'll definitely post on Instagram throughout the next few weeks/month.

And there's a bonus Big Ben photo for you!

I also went ahead and saw some of the locations where they film Sherlock. The actual front of the house was a couple streets past the hotel, and then St Barts hospital is close to St Paul's Cathedral, which I also visited (for the third time).

And the last picture is going to be dedicated to Wicked! I've been singing the songs for years and I really wanted to see it, so I decided to go this time! I just couldn't wait for my next time in London. The musical was amazing, even better than I imagined and I would recommend it to anyone. It was, honestly, so good! Kerry Ellis was playing Elphaba and she did an incredible job. 

Here's the vlog if you want to see it:

Fashion Books: Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Fashion books are really interesting if you love fashion and there are a lot of them out there. I own a few and I thought I'd be nice to show you my favorite ones since I feel like they're fun to read and at the same time, teach a lot about fashion.

Celebrities make fashion books also. The book that I'm showing you today is Influence, written by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. These two girls are very successful in the fashion business: they design, they inspire, they work a lot, and they write.

Most of the book is filled with interviews Mary-Kate and Ashley did to many important people from the fashion industry; designers, photographers, writers, artists...

It also contains beautiful photos from photoshoots, pictures they've taken, fashion inspiration boards (kind of), and some others that are very artistic and cool. I love going through them, just looking at them.

The interviews are really interesting to read and both Ashley and Mary-Kate write about where their inspiration comes from, their influences (and that's why the book is called Influence, I guess) and what they think about other people's work and lives, and how this affected them (fashion wise). 

I'm in love with this double page

It's a good book to have if you are interested in the fashion world.

Aren't those sunglasses amazing?

Do you like reading fashion books? If you have some that you love, please tell me because I'd like to read them too :)
