5 Fashion Cities
Paris, France

We have visited Paris a few times and it is such a beautiful city. If you are into fashion, you would love Paris. There are so many stylish stores to shop in the city. I remember us visiting some cool brands like Chanel, LV, Prada, and more! The local hight street stores would also interest a true fashionista. There is definitely a lot to explore and shop in Paris. The city should be on the travel list for every fashionista.

Milan, Italy

Milan is another dream destination for the fashionistas. I totally love the city. We visited a few years ago for a short weekend getaway and we had such an amazing time. Milan is a city of fashion and we made the most of it shopping in the likes of Gucci and Versace. I can clearly see myself visiting Milan again. Everything about our trip was simply wonderful. Milan is definitely a city to visit if you are into designer brands and high-end fashion.

New York City, USA

New York City is one top travel destination that should be on the radar of every style-savvy person. There is so much to see, shop and explore in New York, you can sure that there won’t be any dull moment. The stylish fashion stores are enough to keep the fashion and style people very busy. Shopping in New York City is one of the coolest things to do. This destination should be at the top of every fashionista’s travel list.

Tokyo, Japan

I have heard lots of fantastic facts about the lovely city of Tokyo in Japan and it is one city still on my travel wish list. Tokyo fashion fascinates me. I love the look and sound of the culture and the vibe of the city and I can see why it is such a popular tourist destination especially for fashion lovers.

London, United Kingdom

London city is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world and when it comes to fashion, there is almost no other city like London. I enjoy shopping in London on the high street. It can get really busy because there are so many amazing brands to explore, and this is why it is a dream destination for fashionistas all over the world. Some of my favourite brands to shop in London are Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Marc Jacobs, and Burberry.

The travel season is here, so if you want to visit any of these fashion cities you should book your accommodation in advance with Cozycozy, the accommodation search engine, which compares all accommodation options available.

Great places to visit in London

We explored the city of London earlier this year and the kiddies loved it. London is a regular holiday destination for us as we lived there before and we have lots of family and friends around the city. The city is full of life and I love exploring all that it brings. It is too much of a busy city for me to live in but holidaying there works great as there are lots to see and do. Plus getting there is easy for us as we love a good old train ride every now and again. There is a quick train to Gatwick airport to London Victoria, so we can easily get  to the city of fun.

If you are thinking of exploring London, here are some great places to visit in London –

 

Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is one place to visit when you are exploring London City. We visited Buckingham Palace this April and we loved it. It was fun to see the palace up close and the guards were fun to watch as well. The kiddies love it but were disappointed they didn’t get to see the Queen 😊

 

Get on a London Bus

Getting on a London Tour Bus is great for those visiting the city for the first time. The buses take you round the popular spots in the city and tell you all about the history behind every tourist attraction. It is a nice way to see the city but if you can’t get on any of the tour buses, you can easily see some parts of the city by popping on a regular London bus. That is what we did after exploring Buckingham Palace. We got a London Bus from the city centre and that took us to a different side of London.

The twins loved it as they were reading about London school and were thrilled to get on a London Red Bus. The best part for them was sitting on the top deck. That was the highlight of the day for them. Kids do love the littlest things.

Big Ben

Big Ben was a must for us too as the kiddies have read about it and wanted to see it in real life. Our tour of the city was more of an educational tour. It was based on all what they have read about London at school and it was fun for us the grownups to see the city through their eyes. The view was perfect. Big Ben is definitely a spot to explore if you plan on being around the area.

 

London Eye

I loved our time in the London Eye. It was a lot of fun and I cannot wait to get on it again. London Eye is definitely a must if you want to really be a tourist in London. It is worth visiting for sure.

 

Madame Tussauds

Madame Tussauds is another great spot in London to visit. The wax museum is filled up with popular faces and the kids (especially my daughter) love taking photos with them.

The Kiddies Explore the City of London

April 30, 2019 By in Kids Section, Travel Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , 14 Comments

The Kiddies have been reading about the City of London in school. So we decided to explore the buzzing city over the Spring break. We were in London and Essex for the 2 weeks holiday, and we had a lovely time. It was so much fun that it felt kind of weird coming back home to our usual routine. For our London tour, we decided to hop on a train to the centre of the city, starting off from Buckingham Palace. The twins are forever talking about the Queen and her guards, so we knew we had to see the Palace. I have never seen the palace in real life before, so I was excited about seeing it all too!

The trip was worth it. We had the opportunity to watch the guards move around and see the lovely in real life. The Kiddies were eager to see The Queen, and were a bit disappointed she wasn’t outside to receive them. We had to cook up a story to explain that, but they didn’t dwell too much on that thankfully. Seeing the stunning Palace was more than enough to satisfy them.

The whole area was filled with tourists as expected. It was hard work getting some pictures taken. But we made the most of our time there. Once we left Buckingham Palace, we walked into St James Park, and took in the green land. It is such a beautiful place to just sit and appreciate nature. Then we walked around the area and spotting London Eye, Big Ben and many red phone boxes, which the kids found fascinating.

Once all that was done, we decided to stop for a lunch break at a pub. It took ages to get a seat as it was literally packed with people. After like forever, we got a tiny table and quickly got something to nibble on.

After lunch, we got on a London Bus and headed to Tower Bridge. The London Red Bus was the highlight of the day for the kiddies. We went up to the top deck and they made sure we sat right at the front. It was fun just watching how excited they were about the little things.

Overall, we had a lovely time. We were very exhausted at the end of the day, as expected. Exploring the City of London requires a lot of walking, which left us really tired. But we wore comfy shoes and were ready to explore. The only issue I had was I was not dressed as warm as I would have liked.  It was quite cold on that day.  A lot colder than I expected. Luckily the Kiddies were dressed up so I didn’t have to worry about them. But I would have preferred to have my Uggs on and probably a wholly hat to protect me from the chill. It was freezing!

We will definitely be visiting London again. The Kiddies had an amazing time and we the grownups enjoyed ourselves as well.  I love visiting London every now and again. Even though I find the city overwhelming. It is so different from the little Cheshire village we call home.
