i was walking home from dinner last friday chatting away with my mama on the phone, then rounded the corner to this sight!  it’s like a technicolor quilt across two huge warehouses. in the middle of london.

turns out it’s an installation to promote the new M&S + Oxfam “shwop” - a place to donate old unwanted clothes, but also pick up new ones. apparently the shwop concept has raised over £3 million for Oxfam since 2008.

great idea and what a fab way to promote it in the heart of vintage-ville london (brick lane of course)!

this weekend was for re-assuming normal life, which meant a trip to the flower market was in order.  this is the look of success.

agata olek has been knitting up a storm all over london, recently even taking over a london cab during the sunday brick lane market.  now she’s invaded tony’s gallery and it’s really mesmerizing to see. a whole gallery, knit. neat.

a 2012 resolution: use marathon training as a chance to explore the city. tower bridge. embankment. london eye. parliament. big ben. buckingham palace. the mall. trafalgar square. the strand. st.paul’s. the gherkin. long and painful, but beautiful (and mission accomplished). and a healthy dose of vitamin d on top of it all!

i missed quite the fireworks show in london this nye - check out this vid! and a pretty perfect soundtrack to go with it.

yet somehow, i’d in no way want to change how i actually spent my night: enjoying a delish dinner at home with my parents and then ringing in midnight with ryan seacrest in our pj’s. yes, quite a (welcome) change from the past 10 years of rather hazy celebrations.
