London Lookbook
Yesterday I had two interviews both in South West London and completely forgot I had my camera in my bag. It was weird my eyes turned into camera lenses and when I saw those seagulls flying above my head I thought damn this needs to be documented, plus I was feeling especially crazy sexy African Londoner and that had to be documented too.
1. Eating in public - If you are on a cheat day, simply don't put on weight, or just don't particularly care about your health I recommend KHF in Peckham for your chicken and chips needs. As you would expect it's a box of grease but a box of glorious grease! Ask for their special hot sauce its the best. Once you have purchased your box of grease feel free to take a wing and eat it no one will bat an eye. Take that nonsense to any other part of London please be prepared for looks and scolding. If I see you I will happily slap the box out of your hand and tell you "this is what you deserve for bringing bushness outside of SE15.
*please note its never OK to eat a piece of chicken on the road anywhere in London*
2. Talking loud - As the stereotype insists us black people like to have our conversations a good few decibels louder than the rest of the population. So if you have some problems with your boyfriend or your boss just pissed you off feel free to tell your friend on the phone at the top of your voice "your manager don't pay you anywhere near enough to clean the damn toilet".Who cares that the cleaner is sick, if she wants the damn toilet clean tell her to hands and knees kmmmmt. Any loud talking outside of SE15 will not be tolerated and someone may tell you very politely to please keep the fucking noise down.
3. Wear what you like - The people of South West inspired me to add a street style section to my blog because I saw so much style I thought "damn these people look good", obviously not as good as the true London Ledge but they made a very good effort. Peckham on the the hand, if you need to go to Morrison's for some bread rolls whatever you're wearing now is seen as fashion in Peckham. Look down at what your wearing right now, that dirty t shirt you just fried chips with, your onesie that is 3 sizes too many and those nikes that have a big hole on the side you are more than welcome to walk around and no one will say a word. If you think you can take that shit off the ends (out of the area for my posh reader) fam, you are clearly mistaken.
The majority of the pictures were taken in Putney the rest in Peckham. There are two sides of Saaaf (say it how you see it to sound like a proper Londoner) and they have two different rules. There are certain things you can get away with in Peckham that you definitely couldn't in Putney.

Once I finished my interviews man was hungry so I headed down to Peckham to my favorite Irish butcher for some chicken. Peckham is slightly less posh than Putney lol its full of crazy characters, a million butchers and hair shops so if you're ever in need of meat or a weave Pecknarm is the place for you. People of Peckham don't be offended I do love Peckham because where else in this beautiful city will I get 7 plantains for a £1
*Please note I don't trust any old butcher the one I go to is Harte's Irish Meat Market*
