TRAVEL DIARY | London with Burberry
12:35 PM
Ahh, London, how I adore you! The breathtaking architecture, the royal palaces, beautiful gardens, and of course the epicenter for the impeccably dressed during London Fashion Week. London just oozes history and charm and I was absolutely elated to join the Burberry team to experience it first hand.
Our trip started off with visiting Covent Garden to pop into the Burberry Beauty Box, a boutique featuring the entire Burberry Beauty range as well as fragrances and a scarf bar. I personally loved the giant My Burberry perfume bottle outside and wished I could take it home with me. :)
We next dropped by Burberry HQ aka Horseferry House to watch Burberry Make-up Artistic Consultant Wendy Rowe give a walkthrough of the Spring/Summer 2016 runway look, including my favorite blurred lips like I showed in my tutorial.
The following morning was show day. My heart fluttered a little when I opened up the invitation with my name hand written on the envelope.
Look how beautiful the laser-cut lace is on the invitations!
Before stepping out, I sprayed a pump of My Burberry eau de toilette on my wrists which is an absolutely lovely floral, perfectly matching the feeling of a London garden blooming with fresh flowers. There's a crispness to the scent coming from top notes of lemon flower and sweet pea which is softened with a heart of peony, peach flower, and freesia, and leaves with a base of damask and centifolia roses, white moss, and a touch of musk.
For the record, this eau de toilette lasts much longer on me (4-5 hours) than nearly all of my other perfumes so if you love clean florals scents that will last an entire evening this is an excellent pick. The scent is forever etched into my mind intertwined with Kensington Gardens and the Burberry show and if you smell this perfume, you'll understand why. :)
I kept my outfit for the show simple yet elegant with a deep burgundy (by now we all know my obsession with this color) knitted silk wool Burberry dress and a Burberry heritage trench coat which was well-suited for the chilly London weather. It's serendipitous that I picked this outfit before I knew the look for the season was oxblood lips but I was so happy to bust out that fresh lippy!
