London Calling[me to live here]







I have fallen in love. Deeply in love. Not with anyone, but with a school. Central St. Martin's College of Art and Design. I am currently taking a Experimental Fashion Knitwear summer course, and I can't get enough of it. I wish the days were longer and I could live there. But where I am staying now is pretty cool: Old Street district. There are tons of fashion forward boutiques, art galleries, bars, cafes and even a health food grocery store. Who could resist? Also, a huge number of kids riding fix gears and road bikes. And my secret addiction of graffiti and street art is greatly satisfied.
For my first week in London, I ran into one of my favorite british actors from my favorite TV show Misfits, was almost arrested jumping over a fence into an abandoned structure, and was completely moved by the Martin Margiela exhibit. Those were just some of the highlights amongst great art shows, Dover Street Market, Liberty, amazing people watching, and pretty good veggie food(which always adds bonus points to any trip).
Cheers
