A Day In The City: London

Aside from Brighton, London is my second home. Some months I spend more time amongst the bustle of commuters and city slickers than I do in my home town. A normal day consists of meetings back to back, with some shoots and a quick whizz through Selfridges (forever coveting the perfect handbag…) but a week or so ago I had an afternoon completely free to roam around. This is where the magic happens.

Where did I choose to spend my free hours? Soho of course, aside from Covent Garden it’s one of my favourite central spots. Original I know, but there are some must visit places round there and I couldn’t quite help myself…

LIBERTY: Home to some of my favourite beauty and handbag halls (and not forgetting the incredible Jewellery department), Liberty is one of those places that I can’t not visit if I pass. There’s always something new to see and the flower display outside is always beautiful (and very busy).

BRANDY MELVILLE: I fell in love with Brandy Melville whilst in the states and now find myself visiting every time I’m in the area. The selection is still nowhere near as amazing as it’s US counterparts, but there are still a few gems to be found inside.

CARNABY STREET: 
Another shopping favourite of mine, Carnaby Street is never one to be missed, with Monki plus Mac and Benefit amongst so many others, it’s a bit of a beauty lovers dream. If there’s any time to go though, it has to be December, once the Christmas decorations are in full swing (or… hang?) then it really shines.

POLPO: Italian food, tapas style. My quick (and possible highly incorrect) way to describe Polpo. The small dishes mean you can choose multiple dishes as your main – my favourite way to eat – and with the amazing food it would be criminal not to taste as many dishes as possible. The desert menu is also a winner. Try the Nutella Pizzetta, I dare you.

Other noteable food favourites in the area go to Dean Street Town House and Social Eating House. MMmmmmm.

    My Wife divorce me for no reason, Thanks to Dr Brave for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again, My name is James Mack. i live in Italy, I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.(bravelovespell@gmail.com}, So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same web site: http://bravesp.blogspot.co.uk/,if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to Dr Brave for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again. { bravelovespell@gmail.com }, Thanks you Dr Brave, i will always be testifying about your good work.and for any questions call me {James Mack} on +393279282206.This spell is a 100% Guarantee for your situation.

    Excited my life is back My husband and I have been together for almost 11 years in October. The way we met wasn’t the best way since we both had relationships. We ended our relationships to be together (or so I thought we BOTH did). As soon as I ended up pregnant with our first baby, I find out he was cheating with his EX! My world went upside down. It was very hard for me since I was pregnant and hurt. Over the years I just kept forgiving him over and over again of not only multiple affairs, but of his accusations of me being unfaithful and disrespecting me. We now have 3 kids and I just completely felt neglected and felt low of myself. I had my own affair… It has not been easy for BOTH of us to overcome. Somehow over the last few weeks we have been working together to move on. We are now moving out of state. I love my husband and I am positive he loves me. I am going to try and show him this approach. Somehow we were already doing it! We have a better communication than we’ve had in years! We are learning how to speak calmly out feelings and concerns. It hasn’t been peachy, but I can see that we both are starting to respect eachother. We care for each other’s feelings. We have US a main priority. We aren’t taking counseling, but somehow we see that little by little we seem more comfortable with eachother. Sometimes we may notice how good it is going and may step back, but helping eachother out by holding and saying it’s ok to be happy again. I love my family. and my husband and i need to keep my marriage save with him from other women so i have to seek for a love spell to keep our marriage stronger so i contacted Dr happy who help me to keep my marriage save and secure from other women am very happy today coz my husband love me more and more like ever before, we are living as one big family again bless Dr happy for what he did to me and my husband if you need help contact him too he is real and 100% guarantee ok so email him at : happylovespell2@gmail.com call +2348133873774 about his service and web site: http://happyspelltemple.webs.com/
