We have arrived at the beautiful 5 star luxury hotel Claridge’s where stars, socialites and the crowned heads of Europe have come for over 100 years. Gordon Ramsays restaurant is located in the hotel, and the shopping streets are only 2 minutes away. I couldn’t be happier!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the high ceiling and the beautifully decorated walls… Sigh, I could live here for ever.
I have an art show to attend in an hour, but I can hear the shops are calling my name so I might run out for a quick shopping spree first. Weeeeee :D
Hope you’re having a nice day too!! Talk later :) xx
Nota bene! Sorry for the noisy and blurry photos, the camera I’m normally using is broken so I’m using another one in the meantime. Hope it’s not too bad.

Yupi…you ARE IN LONDON!!
Is it me or the angle the second last pic is taken – it seems somewhat small…’tight’?
I really love the shirt you are wearing….I believe it’s the same you paired with black pants somewhile ago…probably long time ago in the mid-apartment, the one you were staying at before you moved to your current one in Monaco. I think it will look equally great with your red Grupee Diesel jeans as well :)
Do post more pictures of London!!! Did you take Linus with you also?
Oki – I just read your previous post about Linus staying back :)
Yay, so happy to be in London!!!
The room isn’t tight, it’s quite spacious actually. This is just the lounge, and then there is another part where there is an entrance room, bathroom and dressing room as well :)
Very impressed and happy to see you’ve read the blog so thoroughly :D The shirt is not the same though… Different fabric and different type of blouse, but same colour ;)
Oh, is it??? Oki doki – I couldnt spot the difference :D
Celina, if you come across a similar one, do let me know!!! I have been looking for a similar one – it’s in peach I believe – for eons now, heh. I would settle for a very light baby pink as well.
In my haste to get a similar one, I bought a similar shirt-o-blouse with miltary type buttons on top of shoulders. It looked great in the dressing room :D It’s still nice, just makes me look a bit more bulky – I really dont need to bulk up as it is :P
Gorgeous room! I’m just planning to go to London, I might take a look at your hotel, I
need something like this + that everything is nearby.

Du lever seriøst drømmelivet! Kjenner jeg misunner deg skikkelig her jeg sitter i kalde Sandefjord, hvor det regner hver dag omtrent…
Hehe, ja jeg føler meg veldig heldig! Men lille vakre og sjarmerende Sandefjord er ikke verste plassen å sitte og titte på regnet på utsiden av vinduet, vel? Jeg elsker fjorden! :D

Oh Happy days……. shopping in London! Nesting at Claridges and hopefully more shopping. Please, please take lots of pics for us to salivate over. I always wanted to go to Boots (know its not fancy) but from what I have read they do have some amazing makeup that we can’t get here in Canada. :( Barry M for e.g. Have u been? Is it true? Thanks,
I am soooo jealous! I agree with Jenni – I would love to go to Boots which has Barry M, 17, natural collection etc as well as Superdrug which has MUA cosmetics (£1 each and are allegedly amazing! Plus they have a dupe for the Urban Decay palette!) and Sleek………..I would love it if you could review some of these items as you always look amazing!
Also, if possible, could you do a budget makeup look at some point? I adore your looks but I can only afford drug store products and would love to know what your favourites are!

Boots and Superdrug are both amazing places to find cheap and good quality makeup. However, I have too much in my drawers from previous trips so I won’t be buying any of it..
Tala, all my makeup looks can easily be recreated using similar products from other brands.
Celina recently posted..Getting shopping organised
Thank you. I ended up buying the dupe for the naked palette that you have and the quality is fantastic! (plus it only cost me £3!) so now I can try out lots of your looks! :)
Have a fab time ! Did you see the hail this morning ? Even started a car alarm outside my flat, madness, haha :)
xx
Sofie recently posted..Godmother
Hail? No, I didn’t see that, I spent the morning in the gym. But it was hail in Monaco just a few days before we left as well. So weird to be standing in shorts and a t-shirt while hail falls down :O xx

Kos deg masse søte!! Skjønner godt at du trives både i London og på det hotellet! ;)

Celina you didn’t go to the hairdresser yet, did you? I can’t wait to see your new look!
Beautiful room by the way. I’m sure Linus is very happy to be naughty with other pomeranian like him haha
Lola, that is the funniest thing that you would mention the hair dresser today of all days as I came out of the hair dresser just now. I wasn’t brave enough for the bangs, but it is definitely different ;D Will show you guys soon!
And thank you for your comment about Linus, I hope you’re right, can’t wait to see him again!!

Åh det var fint! Skal undersøke det neste gang jeg skal til London. Forrige gang bodde vi på Blakes, et lite boutique hotell i Kensington/Chelsea. Veldig fint, og på toppen av det hele ble jeg fridd til på hotellrommet, så jeg vil vel alltid ha et spesielt forhold til det stedet.. Uansett, dette ser veldig bra ut, tidsreise!

Aw, så romantisk da ♥ Skjønner du vil ha et spesielt forhold til det hotellet da ja, men rent praktisk sett ligger Claridge’s veldig sentralt og fint hvis dere skulle havne i London igjen :)
Celina recently posted..Getting shopping organised
Yay! so glad youre in rainy old England, its so much fun in the autumn. You must go for cocktails at Galvins at the top of the park lane hilton and take loads of photos for all of your international cupcakes. They really are amazing views in a nice setting with great drinks!
That sounds really nice, but I don’t think I will have time for it this trip. Luckily there are more trips to come so I’ll make a mental note about it for later ;D Thank you xx
Celina recently posted..Getting shopping organised
Not too shabby! But first and foremost, is there a coffee-maker in the room?, haha, I have my priorities
For me the shopping could wait, but a cold pint of Bass Ale would def be screaming my name, haha.
:) nope Aaron! but You know..ROOM SERVICE!!!!
you’ll get up by the smell of the coffee under your nose! :)

What’s not to love!! Men som den sko og støvle elsker jeg er la jeg selvsagt merke til de lekre støvlene. Tør jeg spørre om hvor du fikk fatt i dem?
Tusen takk, de er fra en tidligere tur til London :) Jeg fant de på the shoe gallery på Selfrdiges, fra Carvela. Jeg så de nettopp hadde fått inn noen lignende på Kurt Geiger.

Hello, Celina!
You are so lucky, you know?;) London is fantastic, I love it!
I need your advice, Celina. Have you ever encountered some kind of arrogance in the shops towards you?I´m on my vacations in Florence, and I have encountered disrespect and arrogance at Tiffany´s today! They looked at me as I´m a beggar and almost ignored my request to help! She said I shouldn´t ask them for help just because of curiosity, but only if I were to buy something! I wanted to buy a necklace, but such behavior made me change my opinion :(
Do you have any advice what to do in such situation?
Anyway, I´m so happy for you and hope you enjoyed your shopping today! Have a lovely time in London, sweety! <3
Hi Sonia! :D
Yes, I feel very lucky indeed!! London is fabulous.
As for the arrogance I’ve never experienced any of that in Italy, but it happens very often in certain shops in Monaco. It took some time for me to learn, but unfortunately you have to be rude, at least in France. If you come into the shop and treat them nicely when they are being rude, it only gets worse. This is why I rarely shop in Monaco hehe..
So, as horrible as it may sound the best thing is to make a scene if you really want to buy something, if not it’s better to just walk away. Life’s too short for unnecessary negativity :D

Have fun Celina! Hugs and kisses!

Love love love these posts! I studied in London all summer (I’m at university in the USA) and fell in love with the city. Please keep posting wonderful pictures! I even tried La Bodega Negra when I was there because of your post. I’m re-living my summer vicariously through you!

beautiful boots!
:)
Beautiful hotel room! Enjoy your stay in London and no matter what camera you use, just make sure to take plenty of pictures!
P.S Those boots you are wearing are gorgeous , could you tell where did you got them?
I will try to take lots of photos :) The boots are from Carvela, but they are from a previous season. I did however notice that Kurt Geiger just released a similar pair of boots.
Celina recently posted..Getting shopping organised
I LOVE these boots. They are chic and sexy and with the wedge I think is striking. Which Kurt Geiger do you think is similar? Would love to know!
Hei Celina!
Kan ikke du fortelle om en helt vanlig dag i ditt liv, hva du gjør fra morgen til kveld?! :) Ser ut til at du har mye tid for deg selv, lurer på hvordan du får dagene til å gå og motivere deg selv til ulike ting? Jobber du? Virker som du lever et herlig liv, men ikke helt enkelt å forstå seg på for oss her hjemme i Norge med små lommebøker og lange dager på jobb! Du har en utrolig herlig og drømmende blogg som jeg virkelig koser meg med på regnfulle dager! Stå på, du inspirerer!
:)
Hei Karoline :)
Det er vanskelig å smelle det sammen til et innlegg, for ingen dager er like, og det er vel derfor jeg blogger også :) Det blir en del alenetid, men jeg har ikke noe imot det for da får jeg gjerne unnagjort mer slik at jeg kan slappe ordentlig av når jeg er med James eller venner. Motivasjonen er vel egentlig lykke, jeg gjør så mye som mulig av ting som gjør meg lykkelig.
Følg med videre på bloggen så får du nok et godt bilde av hverdagen min etterhvert :D
Klem!

so i was wondering..how should i do my makeup if i’m intending to wear bright red lipstick?
You should keep your eye makeup less dramatic, and make sure to find the right shade of red for your skintone.

Such a pretty hotel room, I am curious about your shopping, please do a post on it :)
