A Lovely Little Day in London

Last Thursday I ventured into London for a few reasons. One, I was meeting up with a friend to pick up some Scandinavian magazines for our media analysis lecture on Friday, two, to go and buy more of said magazines and three - the most exciting reason - to go to the Manolo Blahnik book signing at Liberty.

My friend gave me Swedish magazine Café (similar to GQ) and SPORT (a sport newspaper) and I managed to find Bon international (Swedish unisex fashion magazine) in a little newsagents and Carl*s Cars (Norwegian car and lifestyle magazine) in a specialist magazine shop in Shoreditch.



On the way I also stumbled across Spitalfields market but didn't have time to shop so just took a few photos to show you.

















Next and final stop, Liberty. I joined my friend Elina in the queue and waited to meet Manolo Blahnik. At the till I impulsed and bought two books for him to sign, one is his new book, Manolo's New Shoes, and the other is Manolo Blahnik's Drawings. I'm not quite sure what to do with the second one yet but thought that whilst I was there I should seize the moment. It was a great opportunity to meet him, he was so kind and chatty, I was very glad I made the effort to go.
