First stop on my #avveurope trip, London! As I mentioned in my last post, London was one of the first cities to really inspire me to explore personal style. There's something about London. The way people dress. Everyone is chic or cool or both. They wear whatever the hell they want and don't really care what anyone else thinks. It's amazing. All the women have perfect black boots, all the men have perfect slim suit, and drinking is acceptable at virtually any hour. If it weren't for the weather, London would definitely be on my list for a future home city! 

Another theme on my trip across Europe was to "do as the locals do". More just enjoying the city instead of trying to get to every tourist attraction. It was refreshing just to wander, explore, and be in the moment! Below are some of my favorite vintage, shopping, eating and drinking spots in London! Enjoy :)

VEDA Leather Jacket / Maison Scotch Button Down / FRAME Boyfriend Jeans / Hudson Boots / Awoke Vintage Layering Rings

Feeling inspired while visiting London (one of the first cities that sparked an exploration into my personal style), I harnessed my inner tomboy with flecks of British rock and roll to create this look. Classic striped buttondown loosely tucked into supersoft and baggy boyfriend jeans start an outfit that's effortless and comfy. A bit of sex and rock&roll is added in with a leather moto jacket, snakeskin boots, and peek of black bralette. The combination gives you that “cool London girl look” that can take you from a day shopping on Oxford Street to an epic evening at Sketch. Shop the links above and stay tuned for more of my favorites from London and my other #avveurotrip cities :)
