4th of July is my favorite holiday after Christmas, and this year I’ll be spending it here in London. Sometimes it makes me super sad not to be on the beach with my girlfriends, watching fireworks and sipping mai-tais…. sometimes- ok all the time, but LUCKILY, there’s some really really fun things going on in town to make sure you don’t feel like you’re missing out by not being in the U.S of A!
Join me and Donna Ida today as we browse the new Wildfox collection, enjoy treats from Tanya’s Cafe, discounts and goody bags! I’ll be there from 11 AM this morning until 4PM, so please do come and say hi. It’s also the perfect opportunity to stock up on denim shorts for the summer.
