Through the instagram looking glass


Morgan and I wandered around Holborn 
and found the most magical places I have ever seen in London!
We later sadly went to say goodbye to Anna Bo at Harriet's place
I was sure to dress inspired by the french revolution (Shes a fellow lover of the era) 
just to say goodbye :)
Im sure she is having a lot of fun with her horses by now!
