One of my favorite parts about our flat was the proximity to Portobello Road. I just love the colorful buildings and the bustling activity on the weekends. Ever since I watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks when I was younger I had wanted to go there. I went the first time I visited London (back in 2011) but it was nice to be closer this time. We were literally a street away so we were able to walk down the street on weekdays to go to the grocery store without all the crowds.
I wore this during the day on New Years Eve for a LOT of walking so I didn't bother wearing a coat. We walked Portobello Road and then made our way to Kensington Palace and moved on to Harrods after that. Sadly I couldn't find anything I really loved at Harrods. I did almost buy a Burberry dress but ended up leaving it. After Harrods we took the bus back to our flat to get ready to go to Big Ben for the fireworks! I'll share that outfit next week.
Blazer: Marc Jacobs (eBay), Sweater: Everlane, Jeans: FRAME (Shopbop), Boots: Vince Camuto (Marshalls), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Saks Off Fifth)
Sadly I couldn't find the actual scene, but here's the song!

You are so fortunate you get to do so much traveling! That blazer is perfect and your turquoise bag is a delightful pop of color.
