Vlog: a little trip to London

The video was lovely. I love Boden (just ordered a couple Breton shirts!) and the music was perfect. My heart aches for London now though. 🙁

Oh this is brilliant – so worth the effort! Lovely to see a peek inside your world, and “meet” you 🙂 Would love to see more xx

I clicked it! I watched! Well done – haven’t ventured to vlogging yet but feeling the call! xo

Thanks!!! xx

I really loved your video. 🙂 No crying allowed please.
Also, I don’t know how you filmed yourself walking without falling or bumping into someone and spilling scalding coffee/tea all over your breasts. Because that’s what I would have done.

oh wow, this is just gorgeous, if this is your first vlog then all others can only be amazing, well done.

I know how long it takes me to write a post, so holy cow that must have taken AGES! Well done chic.

I really enjoyed watching this – just lovely. You executed it brilliantly-definitely worth the sweat and tears that went into it. Big well done ?

And I have 2 granddaughters Ella 2 yrs 4 mo and Emilia 4 months. So much fun being a grandmother! I wish I could comment on Ig but they block my comments when someone has over 50k followers. I’m myrnaphotography if you have a chance to take a peak. Nice view of Manhattan from my 31 floor balcony.

Are you on fb?

Xx

Yay! Thank you Katy, this means an awful lot to hear! x

hehehe! Oops, must try to stop leaving glitter and confetti everywhere I go… 😉 Thanks Lisa, you’re the sweetest x

Thank you Myrna – this means such a lot! x

🙂 thank you so much! Yes, Orla surprised me with her camera-readiness – she’s definitely more of a natural than I’ll ever be! xx

I don’t think praise comes much higher than that! I definitely need to make more with that kind of lovely feedback! xx

😀 😀 😀 thanks lovely! x

Yay! Thanks Lou, it was a bit of an experiment so it means a lot that you think it turned out well. The camera is a Canon G7 I think! A few of the shots were done with my big Canon DSLR, but only towards the end once the G7 ran out of battery as I forgot to bring the charger… oops! xx

Thank you Holly! The camera strap is by Sail Handmade – everything they do is gorgeous & I definitely recommend checking them out. The sponsor in my sidebar – ‘the future kept’ are a stockist, too! xx

Thanks Autumn! Based on this experience I say definitely do it – I was so nervous, but everyone has been lovely! x

Oh thank you lovely Stacy! Wish I could see our little girls skipping away together! x

So glad you liked it, and the totally-illegally borrowed music! 😉 x

Oh, have a lovely time you! it makes all the difference when the sun shines. Thanks for the kind words x

This comment really made me smile. Thank you Basia! x

Such lovely praise! Thank you Clemsy 🙂 xxx

Yay! Thanks Megan! I totally didn’t think about people hearing my voice for the first time… I’m going to have to watch it back and check what I sound like now! haha x

Thanks lovely Kate! With encouragement like that, I just might 🙂 xx

Thank you Julia! This comment makes me feel much better about the whole thing :D. I’m sure Boden would love to see you at their next event – give me a nudge if you want me to share an email address.
Yes, the clogs are remarkably comfy – and I say that as someone with extremely feeble & blister-prone feet. I have another pair in the aubergine colour and they are the softest & comfiest, like suede on the inside. The gold are a stiffer leather due the finish I guess, and needed ‘breaking in’, but I can now do a decent amount of walking about in them! Both my pairs are the ‘high heel’ which isn’t all that high and does’t cause me any pain or problems. Basically, you need at least six pairs.. 😀 xxx

Thanks Jeska! Her bedhead is epic, no? 😀 x

Thank you Johanna. That makes it all worth while! x

I Loved it. You did an amazing job ?

Beautiful! Lovely music choices too, love Orla’s wake up hair! xxx

I love your blog! And i really like this vlog. Impatiently waiting for more

It’s so beautiful! I loved it and the music is gorgeous. I look forward to seeing more vlogs from you and Orla x

Oh what a brilliant video!! Like spending the day with you, lovely to hear your voice again. So Orla, apart from being the most beautiful girl has epic bed hair, epic, and very good dessert choice in the middle there. Love her. Nice to see inside a Boden press day, my children have worn their clothes since Millie was born 13 years ago, the bunny print is already in Anna’s wardrobe waiting for winter. You look perfectly well suited to press days lovely and are your clogs comfortable to walk in? That’s the only thing that stops me buying any, are they comfortable.
Just love this post x

I needed this tonight…I loved it! The music fit perfect, little Orla is adorable and it was nice to put a voice to the face.lol…thank you so much for sharing

Oh, this was so wonderful! Lovely to get a little peek into your day in a different and quite beautiful way. Keep it up! xx

Delightful … Thank you for sharing .. Love the music .. Orla is a natural video star … And nice to ‘hear’ you

Sara, Loved the video with you and Orla! ♥️

Oh, you guys are adorable!! ps. Did you leave those footprints on the steps? Not sure if thats the proper etiquette 😉

What a beautiful film. I loved it. I want to see more! Xx

This is the nicest video I have seen in years! Brightened up my night for sure!

Lovely. That is all. Oh, and you should definitely make more x

Utterly magical. You are good at this stuff! Honored to be included in it!!! That little mini camera shot some ace footage. What was it again? Xx

I love this! And Orla makes it extra special 🙂 Can I ask, where did you get the camera strap? I’ve been looking for one just like it. Great job on the video 🙂 x

It was lovely. You were darling and Orla made it that much sweeter. x

Impressed! Did you try any of that ‘raw’ stuff? x

The video was gorgeous!! I am wanting to start vlogging every once in a while too 🙂

What an inspiration! I enjoyed every single second! Absorbable Orla skips down the street just as my Olive does! #heartmelted!

The video was such a lovely addition (and the music was honestly incredibly calming). What a great way to capture your stay!

I liked it! It felt authentic and “you”. You made London look very pretty too! I’m off down there on Saturday x

oh, thanks so much Judit – this is just the vote of confidence I needed to hear! Maybe i’ll make a second one after all 🙂 xx

Yay! Thanks Nicole! Of course, it’s easy to make you miss the city when I carefully avoid shooting all the wheely bins, traffic noise, pollution & in-street drunks… 😉 xx

oh, thanks so much Rach! xx

Thanks Natalie – it’s an even bigger compliment from you as you clearly know what you’re doing. I always think I sound like a pre-pubescent boy, so you’re not alone in that concern! haha! xx

Oh, thanks Kathi! Such a lovely compliment. There were so many great moments I missed – it’s not easy recording video with a squirmy toddler holding your hand – so I’m glad you still felt like it captured the mood I wanted 🙂 xx

Thanks Hannah! The music is by Priscilla Ahn and She & Him. It did take a fair while, but that was more do to with my inexperience and techno-issues than the actual task. I think next time I could do it much more quickly! (if there is a next time!) xx

Thanks Siobhan! 😀 The cheeks are a definite winner. I hope she keeps them forever! x

Wow such a great video- love the music too. This must’ve taken so long!

Love it Sara, great job! Orla’s little cheeks get me every time 🙂 x

Wonderfully real and dreamy at the same time… I love how you captured what seems like a magical little adventure in the big city. And the shots of Orla totally made me smile : )

I love making movies and I love this one, looks like you had so much fun and you’re braver than me for speaking on camera. I sound like a chap! Haha. Lovely post xxx

It’s wonderful! Well done!

Love this! Well done!
Makes me really miss the city tho 🙁 xx

First video you’ve ever made?! It looks that the hours spent on in paid of! I’ve totally LOVED it, but for the next one more of you talking to the camera -totally not awkward.
