I’m in Belgium right now, relaxing a little after Swingin’ in the Rain, and tomorrow I fly to Ye Old London Towne for three whole weeks! Those familiar with my travel schedule will know that this is an astonishingly long time for me to be in one city. Hoorah! My to-do list involves things like going swing dancing, seeing burlesque shows, eating Indian food, maybe see a show on the West End, visit V&A, and of course, SHOPPING!  Friends have been sending suggestions (if you have any more, please post a comment!) and here are four reasons why I’m excited about London:

1. The Blitz Party

This is a monthly event, and there is indeed one on while I’m in London, but sadly it’s all sold out. Oh well maybe next time – unless anyone knows how to weedle me a ticket? *wink wink nudge nudge*

2. The Wam Bam Club

With the Wam Bam Belles! The lady in blue in the first photo is my drop-dead gorgeous friend Hayley, can’t wait to see her!

3. The Bees Knees

These two ladies have been giving 1920s Charleston a good name around London for years now, and I’ve been admiring their costumes from afar. Maybe I’ll get a chance to meet them or see them perform.

4. Top Shop!

Really, need I say more?
