Week Twenty-nine: Hello, London.

our first london rental house | simple pretty

our house

We’re here; the suitcases are unpacked + I’m starting to acclimate to London living. Thankfully, the weather has been spectacular thus far. Am freaking out a bit about where all of my American “stuff” is going to go once the air and sea shipments arrive, but as we’ll deal with that later. For now, how about a look around my new neighborhood? These pics are all from Instagram* and were taken over the weekend. Enjoy!
