wandering and some costa

my first free day in london! old spitalfield's market is quite fun, it was a little empty today because it's a week day. i will definitely be back soon on saturday or sunday for some more browsing. we found a beautiful 1940's/1950's beige coat today, but it was too big for any of us. however, it's still on my mind... it had amazingly wide sleeves with a belted waist and went just below my knees, a perfect length. the shoulders and torso were way too wide and bunchy.

moving to a very different vibe on oxford streeet, i did find a great sweater at topshop! it actually has the same wide sleeves, which i bought because i was extremely inspired by the vintage coat.

i love the name almost as much as i love the sweater... i also found very chloe inspired silk shorts, however, they were out of my size. the bottoms are scalloped, which i adore.

after shopping we stopped coincidently for afternoon tea at costa. the cherry almond muffin i had was to die for. i'm really loving this place.
