After spending a day and a half in London (and some bad jet lag – apologies for the tired face in these photos), we hopped on the train and took the two hour ride toward Manchester to visit the boohoo.com head offices. It was my first time in this city, and I – at the risk of sounding ignorant – honestly knew nothing about it aside from the fact that David Beckham used to play on their football team. I did know it would be beautiful, though, and I was right: although it was substantially colder than London and we didn’t have much time to explore, the architecture was amazing and it was evident that the city holds a plethora of hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

p.s. This Zara jacket is something that I can’t seem to stop wearing… it’s the only outerwear I brought with me to the UK and even  now it’s hard not to reach for it every morning!

On our second day in the UK last week, we had the opportunity to check out boohoo.com‘s adorable showroom, right in the heart of London’s shopping district. It was definitely an experience getting to see an e-retailer’s merchandise in person, and I loved all of the different textures, patterns and details in each piece. In between the visit and catching our train to Manchester, we spent some time walking along Carnaby St. and taking in the beauty of the city in warm sunshine – which was apparently, as we were told, quite rare!
