After lunch, Carmel and I went to Knightsbridge, which is the posh shopping district of London. All of the society wives and movie stars shop there; Carmel and I blended right in of course! : )
We first went to Harrods.
Absolutely magical. Everything in there was wonderful and very expensive. After walking around for awhile, I started craving something sweet, and accidentally walked into Laduree, which is the most famous place for French macaroons. It is an understatement when I say that I was excited...I felt like Marie Antoinette for a minute! The pastries were absolutely gorgeous and the macaroons were adorable. I bought six macaroons (chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, caramel with salted butter and coffee) and they came in an absolutely chic little box with a ribbon.
Yes, I know, I took pictures of macaroons. I don't care if you think that's weird...because I was excited! : )
Then after Harrods, Carmel and I hit up the opening day of Topshop in Knightsbridge. Kate Moss had actually been in the store hours earlier to open up the shop. I bought a cute pair of sunglasses and Carmel bought some earrings.
And then we took a picture with the Topshop security guard, AJ.
Then we walked around Hyde Park.
We also snuck into the Mandarin Oriental and looked around - very beautiful! One day I hope to stay there! : )
