With still a few days of holiday left before returning to work I made sure to spend a day with the other special person in my life, my mum.
We trotted up into town to go see a new exhibition at the Royal Academy; Painting the Modern Garden Monet to Matisse.
Multiple rooms filled with some of the most beautiful botanical paintings from all over the world, regardless of whether you are a green fingered gardener or just enjoy a fresh bouquet of flowers this exhibition is gorgeous.
We walked back to Waterloo stopping in one of my all time favourites places Trafalgar Square; there is just something so iconic about it.
There are also always awesome street performers.
Including this guy, showing his true scot self by not wearing a jumper in the freezing temperatures.

I must be mad wearing a skirt in this cold weather but I am loving this style and paired with my oxblood over the knee boots and a good thick coat you barely feel chilly winds. There is something rather parisian in this look but with a London twist.
Are you braving the chilly UK winds ?
What Kate Did Next 
You don’t want to know what else that Scot isn’t wearing…don’t mind the cold, so long as it’s clear. At least my leather soles can come out.
