*Zadig & Voltaire Westbourne Grove, London*

February 15, 2015

After days working on putting this blog together piece by piece, I realized something…I should probably go outside! Now i’m the complete opposite of your sun-loving stereotypical Southern California girl (tan, walking around in a bathing suit 24/7), but when the sun comes out in London like it did today, you drop everything and go outside.

If you’re in London you NEED to go to Notting Hill and visit the Electric Diner for a meal. I have never left unsatisfied! Today I went a bit nuts, but technically I can still classify the three pounds put on from eating that massive lunch as “winter weight” right? A few things I tried on this trip were the “squid, pickled peppers” starter, the “honey-fried chicken, chili, sesame seeds” wings, and a side of the “mashed potatoes, garlic jus“. Amazing, all of it! Oh, and they play their music on an old Reel-to-Reel (pictured above). How cool is that!

After lunch you can take a nice walk up the famous Portobello Road, and it’s a very close walk to Westbourne Grove where there are some great clothing shops. I stopped into the Zadig & Voltaire store and caused some major damage. I scored a black velvet blazer with embroidered skull on the back for myself. Originally £360 now £150! They are currently having an amazing sale in the store!

Eating and shopping, what more could you want?

Ok, I can check off going out into the real world today. Back to the house I go! Stay tuned for more…

PS: Make a reservation at Electric Diner if you can, it gets busy!
