Two colorful front doors in Kensington…

 Last month I spent a week in London with a quick jaunt to Paris at the tail end of the trip and I had such a wonderful experience! I took a ton of photos so I thought I’d share a few here. The architecture is quite stunning and there’s so much history and charm in these two beautiful cities! Here’s a quick photo tour of my adventure! 

These little red phone booths are so charming!

The best culinary book shop I’ve ever seen! It was so charming and it has a little cafe in the back…

  1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that first image of the two doors. How amazing is that hot pink door?? I love all the photos from your trip! They make me excited for my trip back to France this summer 🙂

  2. Beautiful pictures. I particularly like the colorful Nottinghill residences.

    And I stayed on Rue Cler when I was last in Paris (a decade ago… I need to go back!)

    • Glad you enjoyed the photos! Rue Cler was one of the most charming streets I saw in Paris!

  3. I love, love, LOVE Paris!! My favorite city in the world. I’m hoping to return this Fall for a week. I just love walking around and looking in the windows. Thanks for the photos.

    Can’t say the same about London.

  4. I’m with Girly Obsessions up there, those doors are just great! Thanks for sharing all these great pictures, now I’m craving crepes and some Edith Piaf!

  5. I love the houses in Notting Hill. Must have taken ages to find those. Last time I was in London it looked pretty much all the same 🙂
    Well, China Town and Leicester Square were slightly different, I love these areas.
