London, Day 6

Another (well needed) lazy morning. After the relaxation, Melissa and I headed into Camden to do some shopping.

Camden is a really hip area of London. Fun fact: Amy Winehouse lived there before she passed away. The shopping was awesome! It really reminded me of Canal Street in NYC. So much hustle and bustle with bartering (my fave).

I ended up getting a little gift for all the famjam, but finding clothing for me was really hard. Everything is one size! (One size that I am not haha). I did find a Union Jack tee though!

In addition to the NYC-esque tourist shops, there were quite a few one-of-a-kind shops. The clothing was stunning! People over here are all about lace and crochet right now- I need to live here.

We also hit up the Camden Market. I could’ve spent the entire day here. It’s a maze of crafts, clothing, shops, etc. Our final stop in Camden was Cyber Dog. It was a store dedicated to the clubbing scene in London. Full of neon, futuristic, platforms, and even S&M costumes- let’s just say that Nanny (or even Mom haha) would not have been impressed!). M and I, however, had a good laugh over all of it. It was an experience of a lifetime :)

Before bed we watched the Graham Norton show- he was super funny and I will be looking for him online!
