a secret city garden

The other day I spent hours wandering around the Tate Modern. It was an awesome experience and I'll talk more about that later. On my way to the tube station I saw a pathway just like the one above. Even though it was freezing and sprinkling I decided to pop in and check it out. Much to my surprise it led down a hill to another pathway (the one pictured), hidden in the middle of the city. There were other areas with flowers that were more garden-like but I was attracted to the rough stone and the green leaves.


I had black tights on originally but I changed them for hot pink. Nothing like some bright colors to make your day seem less gray. It was bloody freezing when I took these photos. I was right next the the Thames River so everything is a few degrees colder. Man, those degrees make all the difference. When I was walking around Kensington I was fine in just my blazer but the second I got to the river I was regretting not grabbing my heavy coat. It's hard to believe that back home is having temperatures in the 90s!


Such a simple dress with such a beautiful sleeve.


I wore my new-ish lipstick! It's Tarina Tarantino's Candy Jar. I love it!
