I had brunch at the Wonderbra offices yesterday with some other bloggers: Sherin, Annemarie, Amelia, and Sophie. We will each be guest blogging for Wonderbra for a week during the month of July. I am really excited about this--I think it's going to be a lot of fun. It was a summer-themed brunch--with fresh fruit, muffins, croissants, and bacon sandwiches (I don't eat meat, but if I did I would be all over those, they looked delicious.) Of course, I came dressed in the least summery outfit imaginable--head to toe black and brown. Perhaps I was in mourning because of the seemingly endless grey sky that has enveloped London for the past few weeks?
We heard about some of their new products, including this Glamour Sense set which is coming out in September (pictured on the screen above). It's got a really cute "Boardwalk Empire" vibe to it and it was my absolute favorite. Brunch was also a good opportunity to meet a few new folks and share fake tanning stories (remind me to tell you about my sixth grade fake tanning catastrophe sometime), among other things.
Afterwards, I did some wandering around Camden to look for prizes for the caption contest. Rain was coming down in buckets, but at least it cleared up nicely by the afternoon. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but one of my favorite things about living in the UK (besides the freebies in magazines), is that you can have a completely genuine conversation with someone about the weather. In other places, it would be polite small talk. However, here, where the weather can change dramatically within the period of an hour, it can actually be a topic of interest. Keeps you on your toes, anyway!

1. Oh, a wonderbra lunch. Delicious!
2. What, they don't have freebies in US mags??
3. Not only talk... the other day I was standing at a bus station in East London. It was coming down in buckets (again!), when the lady next to me said: Do you want to share my umbrella? - Yes, please!
There we were standing, huddled under the umbrella, all English cosiness :)

Even if it wasn't very summery, the outfit you chose is gorgeous- I'm particularly fond of the dress, where is it from? I know I say it in almost every one of your posts, but I'm so envious of all the fun you're having in London. If only I could run away from real life and join you ;)
xox,
