Airport Must Haves
The airport can be intimidating but following this list will ease your mind
For those of us that dislike backpacks on planes (guilty) this is another option. Now…this is something that I TRULY recommend investing in. This is perfect for a weekend trip as well and works as a personal item. Plenty of space inside and great qua...
Longchamp Le Pliage Original Bag
Snacks are a great way to avoid the airport and these are small and awesome source of protein that can be found in many places (also at Trader Joe’s that can be much cheaper)
Chomps Chomplings Jalapeno Beef Mini Sticks - 3oz/6ct
I got this on sale and took it with me to the airport because let’s be honest. Buying water at the airport is TOO PRICEY. Take a water bottle and save the extra dollars

A good book to be entertained to avoid any damage to the eyes and read (somewhat) this book that definitely opens your eyes to many lessons
Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton
trust me when I say you will be sick of AirPods if you wear them so much. Headphones are where it is at
Beats Solo 4 Wireless On-Ear Headphones
This carry on is prefect when if you’re someone like me (scared of luggage getting lost and not checking it in) this is great. Perfect size and plenty of space for your clothes. Also survived getting on and off the tub, buses, and through cobble stre...

I swear by these shoes as these have survived this trip and very comfortable. I didn’t even need to break them in…that’s how great these are. And also they are very versatile as they don’t look like walking shoes
Women's On The Roger Advantage 1
Jeans are a must and these are such good quality jeans that are too wide or skinny

Yummy Eats
Eating delicious was a main thing for me and did not disappoint
MUST MUST MUST. Got a pistachio coffee that tasted amazing and also a pistachio cookie that just was so creamy and soft.
Blank Street Coffee
I saw this every where and knew that I needed to go and it did not disappoint. I got the tunacado and as someone that dislikes tuna..I enjoyed it. Also got a green juice and felt nice and fresh and not artificial
JOE & THE JUICE
Went to Harrods to have a little snoop and ended up buying some lunch here and all I have to say is that you have to buy something here. Definitely affordable to grab and take something to eat (I went to go eat at the Hyde Park).
Harrods
This is may seem like a touristy trap thing but I’m telling you this is AMAZING. The sandwiches from black pig were Devine and also the slushy margaritas (forgot where) delicious. Can’t miss the strawberries…they just taste so different from the US
Borough Market

It tends to be rainy sometimes in the UK so an umbrella is a good idea to take with you

I think people don’t realize how important the adaptors are because without them you literally can’t charge ANYTHING

A power bank is very important to have your phone charged at ALL TIMES. Especially for emergencies and transportation (and of course pictures)
5000mAh Power Bank - heyday™ Candy Pink: Micro USB, Dual Charging, Quick Charge
I could not recommend this enough but a good big travel bag is essential especially when carrying important items. There are plenty of pick pocketers in the UK and having a cross body is important. This was good and well priced and pockets on the ins...

Must Visit
These are the places I went to visit / did that you can’t miss
If you LOVE the movie Notting Hill…you can’t miss this place (or even looking for an area to stroll through). The infamous blue door is here along with the book shop. Plenty of markets open on the weekends to find jewelry or other items. Great food p...

If you are a big Beatles fan…you have to obviously visit Abbey Road and Studio. It’s a little far from central London but really a cool experience.
Abbey Road, London – Made famous by The Beatles
If your passing by Buckingham Palace…Hyde park is a few steps away to have a nice stroll or even have a cute picnic.
Hyde Park
Ok this may look sketchy but I think this is very unique and so cute. Variety of shops and places to go to!
