One strange thing with moving to London was the thought that suddenly, there were so many other people with similar interests inhabiting the same space as me. Of course, there were a few other bloggers in Guadalajara, but nothing like the numbers there are here. On top of that, people are always coming and visiting London...
So when I heard that Raquel from Black Sheep was coming to London for a week, I thought it was a great opportunity to meet up. She was a stranger in London, I was almost a stranger in London... we could go and be tourists together. So on Thursday morning, feeling a bit frazzled and certainly not very stylish (Thursday mornings aren't my strong point of the week), I went to meet her in Camden Town. Raquel turned out to be just lovely and easy to talk to, and we had a great time walking by the canal, poking our noses into vintage shops and eating insanely sweet crepes. The light was a bit against us that morning, but we did manage to get a few pictures. We didn't leave it there either, but arranged to meet a second time, later in the day. I'll be posting those pictures later this week (while I'm still building my portfolio of Catalan moments for you)!
Outfit: this is how I dress when I think it's going to be cold in the morning. On this particular day, it wasn't, and I spent a great deal of time taking off my lumberjack shirt and putting it on again with every passing cloud...

I reallllllly love the combo of your flannel shirt with that jacket (or is it a blazer?). It's brilliant!
Your shirt is awesome! what a great day you spend with this fellow blogger! I've met a girl from Guadalajara who is a blogger too but you're right it is not the same to London Blogging world... maybe later who knows ;)
okay this looks like a super fun time spent with a fellow blogger...and your flannel shirt is awesome! it was the first thing that caught my eye!

I think it's so terrific you and Raquel got to meet up! I can't wait to see what the rest of your adventure involved :)
Love that Lion!
How cool that you got to meet up and explore the city together! I don't know any fellow bloggers either, but if I ever make it to London (or wherever you're living at the time) I'll hit you up! ;)
Oh, I'd love to live in London!! Always wanted to as a kid...love the pictures! :)

I love Blogger meetups! Your lumberjack shirt looks great! I think you look stylish!
IT must have been so much fun :)

You, my friend, are making me miss L Town something terrible! Looks like a fun day spent. Nothing like a day spent strolling around Camden really! I love the tartan shirt you have on undeneath.
oh, how fun! :) i actually really like this outfit--the red plaid is so vibrant, it really pops against the grey london sky!
mmm peanut butter and banana is basically my favorite thing ever. maybe i should try banana bread to bounce back from the zucchini disaster...
glad you girls got together. being a tourist is much more fun when you have a companion.
aw! this is so nice! One of the reasons I am motivated to keep blogging so that I can meet other amazing women when they visit my cities! nice you two could tour together.
