Travel Diaries: London

Earlier this month I booked a spontaneous trip to London with a friend from home, and it was quiet the adventure! It was my first time traveling outside of North America and I really fell in love with London. Today I’m going to share a handful of snaps from my trip, give a breakdown of what we did on the trip, and then later this week I’ll be sharing a couple outfit posts from the trip.

We ended up finalizing our trip plans only about 4 days before leaving – which was kind of insane, but I liked that I didn’t really have time to digest it all and over-plan or schedule the trip. I did a little research the day before and made a list of the main things we wanted to see, and then once we arrived in London, we filled in the rest. We had a very packed few days there! Have you been to London before? What are some of your favorite things to do/see while you’re visiting? xo
