London Calling: My weekend full of energy, style and hidden gems.

Hey everyone! Wow, what a weekend. I'm just back from London and my head is still buzzing with the energy of this amazing city. As someone from Amsterdam, I'm obviously used to the hustle and bustle of a city, but London has a unique, vibrant vibe that inspired me from the very first moment. It was a spontaneous city trip, exactly what I love: a mix of discovering new places, gathering inspiration, and of course, enjoying every moment. The Street Style Vibe: Fashion Inspiration on Every Corner For me, fashion is a way to express who I am, and London is a true playground for that. From the chic streets of Notting Hill to the edgy and creative atmosphere in Shoreditch, you see the most diverse styles everywhere you look. I love spotting trends, but I always stay true to my own casual-chic look with a sporty twist. My favorite outfit of the trip? An oversized blazer I found in a vintage boutique, paired with my favorite sneakers – perfect for wandering through the city for hours! Staying in Balance: Morning Runs and Healthy Hotspots Discovering a new city doesn't mean I throw my healthy habits overboard. In fact, it's a fun challenge to find that balance while traveling. Just like I do in the Vondelpark, I loved starting my day with a run, but this time through the beautiful Hyde Park. The fresh morning air and the tranquility, right in the middle of such a metropolis, is truly magical. Of course, I also enjoyed a traditional English scone with clotted cream, but I also made sure to hunt for the best healthy food spots. London is bursting with juice bars, vegan lunch spots, and cozy cafés where you can get delicious, nutritious meals. Balance is everything! More Than Big Ben: My Favorite Discoveries Of course, the iconic sights are beautiful, but my real passion is finding those hidden gems. One of my favorite discoveries was Neal's Yard in Covent Garden, a small, colorful courtyard filled with independent shops and cafés. It felt like an oasis of calm in the bustling city. These are the kinds of spots that make travel so special to me, where you feel like you're truly connecting with local life. Creative Energy and New Music The constant motion and mix of cultures in London also gave me a huge creative boost. As I walked through the streets with my headphones on, the city's beat almost felt like the rhythm for a new track. I filled my notebook with ideas and lyrics, a perfect creative outlet alongside my work as a content creator. London, you were an adventure full of inspiration, just the way I like it: a perfect mix of lifestyle, fashion, and personal growth. I can't wait to go back!
