Snow White likes to hop across the big pond as often as possible, and couldn’t believe it had been four months since her last trip to London. The primary reason for her visits is always social, to catch up with her friends, but of course she also likes to take advantage of the city while there. For Snow White this means getting in as much shopping, art, food and cocktails as time will allow.
Because this trip to England would be her last before the holidays, it involved a lot more shopping than art. Nevertheless, she still found the time to make her way to the Victoria and Albert Museum to catch the exhibition Telling Tales – Fantasy and Fear in Contemporary Design.
Snow White checked out the show and perused the gift shop, and then lost herself amidst the museum’s many galleries, wandering from the sculpture cast courts to the fashion collections to the lovely courtyard.
After getting her art fix she was able to devote her time to the all-important pursuit of Christmas gifts (and perhaps a thing or two for herself). Snow White knows that shopping requires energy, so she and her friends first stopped at the Patisserie Valerie on Marylebone High Street for some coffee and cake. They then headed off to Selfridges and Marks & Spencer, where Snow White’s credit card got quite a workout.
They also did some more American style shopping, hitting both the mall Bluewater and Costco (sadly no frozen yogurt, but at least it had good soft serve, so Snow White was not deprived of something sweet).
Snow White’s final stop was Spitalfields Market, one of her favorite places for shopping and treats.
She met ups with some friends at Carluccio’s, where she energized with a coffee before hitting the different stalls for some serious shopping (she didn’t feel guilty buying herself a new dress since she had been so successful with her holiday shopping).
Feeling very pleased with all of her purchases, Snow White headed home, already planning another trip to London to hit the after Christmas sales!
