Fashion Life + Style London Outfits

Style / Embankment

posted on July 8, 2015

I’m nowhere near as lazy about walking when I can do it with my camera, slowly, especially with a friend. So the first week I spent in London last year involved some long-ass walks. I’m not sure which was the longest; our first day there, Annemari and I took a while to find — after, let’s be real, probably getting lost — the building Ashley was living in at the time, and I basically got a full view of Marylebone right there… and a fair share of Fitzrovia. The last Sunday, we covered a ridiculous amount of ground, between Regent’s Park and Baker Street and the one successful flat viewing of the week (it was Benji and Mindy and the chihuahua, wasn’t it?).

Today, I’m showing you what I wore on Wednesday — yes, this is April 30, 2014, but let’s be real, I still wear this shit on a regular basis. (Except the jeans, which I only wear if I’m going to be photographed. They’re too thin. Too much like leggings.)

Essentially, I am stalling while I figure out what each main point of our walk was, because quite frankly I’m fuzzy on the details of the whole first bit. Let me just…

Holy god. That was a long-ass walk. I didn’t realize St Paul’s Cathedral was that far out there! Well, we were there to meet Ash, but we missed her, and so I decided I wanted to see the Tate Britain. It’s a thing. I planned my first trip to London — in 2007 — around a Millais exhibition. I’m a walking cliché, but that’s my favorite museum in London, in terms of the art inside. (Favorite building is the Royal Academy; I couldn’t tell you why.)

So I stopped at a Waterstones to use their WiFi on my tablet — I didn’t have a phone plan back then — and figure out how to get there. Or rather, how to get to the river. From there I was pretty confident of my ability to keep walking until I saw Vauxhall Bridge.

And then we walked. For EVER.

It was brilliant, and this is an outfit post and therefore just a taste of the truly outrageous amount of photos I took that day.

Photos of me were taken by Annemari S.

Do you like photo walks? Aren’t they the best? There’s only one right answer.

    Love those jeans!

    • Lix Hewett

      Thanks! Or, thanks from my sister, since I got them from her when she decided she no longer liked them. ;)

  • Natasha Mila

    Love the picture of you with the camera – behind the scenes ;) This outfit looks a little warm for summer! I hope its not too cold there.

    • Lix Hewett

      Oh no, this is from last May. In London. I figure since it’s often cold enough over there I might as well post it. ;) I’m living in sundresses here. I have five on rotation. :p

      • Natasha Mila

        Haha okay THANK GOODNESS! I was going to apologize on Mother Nature’s behalf otherwise.

        • Lix Hewett

          Feel free to anyway, this heat is so bad it owes me a million apologies (and to go away and never contact me again). 32 degrees at 11 PM, man, what the fuck. The whole week has highs of 38-41. I have got to start getting up earlier to catch the two hours of morning there’s a proper breeze under/around 30.

          • Natasha Mila

            I had to google celsius to fahrenheit… that’s embarrassing. Now that I have done that, “I apologize on behalf of Mother Nature”.

  • Erin @ comadiary

    I think this is my most favourite, you look(ed) so relaxed-damn-cool, and yes yes yes to photo walks, I must say I do love them.

    • Lix Hewett

      They’re my favorite types of walk. :) And ugh yes, my mom kept saying that through my year in London – “yeah you look happy but you don’t look as happy as you did when Annemari was there!” Which is the TRUTH. Because London is best shared with people you love. :3

  • Kerri

    Photo walks are always fun!

    • Lix Hewett

      I love them best when I can share them, but they’re so relaxing on your own, too. :)

  • Single Mother Ahoy!

    Gorgeous photos. I think a walk is always better if you’ve a camera in your hand. Thanks for linking up with the weekend blog hop!

    • Lix Hewett

      Yes! Especially for people like me who have a hard time taking it slow and really enjoying a walk. Having a camera gives me an excuse to actually take it easy and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
