wear this there: llewelyn’s london.
we're popping across the pond to london today, so i've created an essential capsule wardrobe perfect for a weekend away in one of my very favorite cities.
greetings, my armchair travelers! i’m back with another wear this there and this time, we’re headed to londontown — one of my favorite places on the planet. so much so, i think i could live there, but i digress. we’re going to spend the weekend exploring the city, but we’re specifically dropping into llewelyn’s, a charming south london supper club in herne hill, with its very own brand new wine bar lulu’s, right next door. i love the look of llewelyn’s, and their food looks fabulous, too. we can dine inside or al fresco, so i’ve created a few ensembles to keep us warm no matter what the london weather has in store.
i’ve gotten a bit quirky with these ensembles — london is, after all, a very pop culture kind of place, worthy of your best fashion foot forward. so i’ve packed you a chic black dress to layer up with a beanie and cropped cardigan. we’re adding funk with fun sheer striped socks worn with the classic fisherman’s sandal and fanny pack. i’ve added some alternates since were here all weekend — a flowy white skirt you can dress down with a bowie tee and the cardigan, some sassy mules, and a must-have black clutch. i’ve included lots of baubles to add some bling, too. naturally, i’ve included some cozy cosabella pj’s and a book by one of my favorite english novelists, altered states by anita brookner, a beautifully-told tale of loneliness, guilt, and obsession.

chicissimo 🖤
I loved reading this Victoria and the capsule collection is gorgeous. I have walked past Llewelyn’s several times but have yet to dine there so have added it to my list for our summer trip to London. We have friends who live in Herne Hill so am hoping we can make it happen. I can only dream of wearing some of your beautiful suggestions, I particularly love the dress and sandals, just perfect!
