— London Wanders

I’ll be off to Asia after a long busy week to Thailand and Taiwan. I am so excited I can barely keep my hands on the keyboard. This will be my frist time doing destination wedding photoshoot at Samui Island which is the little island of heaven in Thailand. I’ll be landing in Bangkok from London then off to Samui Island then off to Taiwan. Ahhh just thinking about the food makes me drool, and of course seeing friends and relatives will be the ultimate highlight.

Hope I’ll have time to update but if not, see you in October ♥

I’ve been chasing the festivals happening all over London for the past few exciting weeks.
For London Design Festival, St. Paul opened up the Southwest entrance, letting architecture junkies see the elegant spiralling staircase by John Pawson. Another beautiful spiral staircase that I’ve seen was in the Queen’s House in Greenwich called the Tulip Staircase as the photo below. I was quite taken away visiting St. Paul this time, I went in during the time for the mass and the experience was grand and surreal. Maybe it was the choir, maybe it was the wonderfully lit candles, it was a beautiful ceremony and I felt infinitely more serene.

The autumn is creeping in London as the autumn leaves are leaving their marks on the pavement. The air is crisp and cold, it feels nice to have a bit of fresh air before the scorching (but awesome heat) for my next travel :)

London Open House 2011

The Open House started off on a beautiful Saturday morning where architecture junkies started queuing around the blocks to see some of the greatest architecture in London that are closed to visitors.
I see the facade of Lloyds every time I bus to the city from Liverpool street, and I always thought it carried bits of resemblance of The Transformers. The interior was made up of traditional stock exchange with the bell that rings for transactions but what fascinated me the most of the glass elevators and the view across central London. I was able to see St. Paul from the offices! With a view like this, it’ll be a breeze to de-stress during lunch breaks standing on top of London.

Off to more open houses tomorrow!

Oh my, sorry for the disappearance, my schedule has been hectic and it’ll be busier until the end of September approaches!

I attended Vogue’s Fashion Night Out here in London and it was one amazing night with bubbly drinks and canapes, the fashion lovers were pretty much spoiled silly with the sneak peek of the new season and wonderful surprises. My favorite was Alexander McQueen, I attended their event at their flagship store on Bond Street and was given the Alexander McQueen key for the night. It was specially designed for London Fashion Weekend and was a surprise giveaway. I really love the vibe and really psyched to be breathing in what London has to offer.
