How to be a Paris-a-go-go Girl!
How to be a Paris-a-go-go Girl! by ♪ londonlydia▲ featuring leopard print flats
As you probably will realise as you look through my sets is that I love France. Namely Paris. The Sights, the sounds, the fashion, and the food. Alas I am in love! So if you are like me and totally j'adore Paris, here's a tip on how to become Paris-a-go-go!
1. Learn as much as you can about the City of Lights.
Take french lessons, read a book, watch a movie (Amelie, funny face, or Sabrina), or eat french food (mmm croque monsier et nutella crepes)
2. Dress Parisian
Don't buy all chanel label, dress simply. Look to french style icons- http://www.collegefashion.net/inspiration/get-inspired-6-amazing-french-style-icons/
3.Mix some french words into your conversation
Don't go all out and start speaking all french. Some people won't understand you, but mix a little j'adore in here and a little oui oui mes amis there.
4. Visit Paris!
Convince your parents to spend your next family vacation in Paris. You can usually find cheap flights on Expedia or Priceline.
5. Go on Style.com and check out parisian designers
You can learn a lot about paris that way.
Good luck and PM me for requests :)

How to become a total Doctor Who fan!
How to become a total Doctor Who fan! by ▲ londonlydia▲ on Polyvore.com
If you haven't noticed I am a total crazy fangirl over doctor who. My favourite doctor being number nine. Anyway here is how you become a total dr. who fan:
1. rent the series
you can't love the show unless you watch it. you don't have to watch all eleven doctors I reccomend starting at number nine.
2. invest in the show
buy magazines,t-shirts, toys, or posters. merchandise woot!
3. Dress like your fave doctor
Leather jacket for 9, Billowing coat for 10, bowtie or fez for 11 so on and so forth
4. Talk about it with your friends
its awesome introducing someone to the world of dr. who or debating whether he actually is in love with rose tyler
5. refer to yourself as a Whovian or a Whooligan
aka the dr. who fans names
6.Learn as much as you can about the series
visit blogs or read books
7.Have a favourite doctor
mine is nine <3
8.Have a doctor who party!
a marathon or a dress as a doctor or companion. fun times, fun times...
9. (my fave dr. <3) Bring up Doctor who as much as you can
you may make new awesome friends but just make sure you're not spewing wrong info
10. don't refer to the actual doctor as doctor who, thats the name of the show not his name. its annoying!
Good luck on your fanatic Doctor Who-ing

why have a slice of normal when you can have a whole fruitcake of crazy?
why have a slice of normal when you can have a whole fruitcake of crazy? by ▲ londonlydia▲ on Polyvore.com
Seriously, why do ppl hide their crazyness?
I used to but its way more fun not to be normal.
I guess some ppl are scared to be judged, but I don't really care about that any more.
Life is more interesting when you are totally bongo-cat-bananas (or crazy)!

Outfit inspired by Lovebug: 1
Outfit inspired by Lovebug: 1 by ▲ londonlydia▲ featuring handcrafted jewelry
Oh my goodness. I never really like the Jonas Brothers all that much (the fact that they said they wrote all of their songs when Year 3000 and What I go to school for was by English Boy Band, Busted) but when I heard Lovebug I totally melted. Im not saying I'm in love with them now, but as a self proclaimed hopeless romantic I really really love this song. Here is a look inspired by the outfit of joe, nick, and kevin.

Letter to my blog
I'm really sorry I neglected you. I know I didn't really neglect you (in fact you have more posts than 2010 and you're only in January), but it feels like I did. All I have to do is press a button and the style will go to my blog. This isn't Tumblr so that is not what I'm going to do. From now on I'm going to write more. Yes and make more interactive content.

All Hail Queen B
All Hail Queen B by londonlydia featuring marc by marc jacobs handbags
Blair Waldorf is my favorite character from Gossip Girl. She is me. Except more B!tc.h.y. We are both Girly elegant girls who are hopeless romantics and love Audrey Hepburn and her movies. I've almost finished watching the second season (Im on the second to last episode) and nothing has warped my opinion that Blair Waldorf is the best

Parislydia?
Parislydia? by londonlydia on Polyvore.com
Though however much I love my birthplace of London, I have completely fallen in love with paris. I went there on the eurostar when I was five, and all I remember is that my mum got into a huge argument with a lady in the Eiffel Tower Bathroom, because my mum didn't have enough money for each of us (me and my twin) to go to the bathroom. One thing lead to another and soon the lady was spraying toilet cleaner in my mum's face. My mum sprayed some in the lady's face and reported her. In the end we got to go in front of the huge line of people waiting to go up to the eiffel tower :))

Charlie & Lola: Lola-Grown Up
Charlie & Lola: Lola-Grown Up by londonlydia featuring vintage style bags
I loved Charlie & Lola when I was little both book and tv show (to be fair I love it now too). Lola reminded me of me (thats why I like to be called Lola nowadays). Our accent was the same. Our crazy untamable imagination was alike. I had an older sister named Charlotte who I called Charlie sometimes. So it wasn't very hard trying to figure out was Lola might dress like when she was older.
I imagine a whole bunch of vintage and urban outfitters. I also think she'd be an avid photographer, snapping pix around SoHo for her blog :)
