Bond Street Noël

When we moved to this neck of the woods, we had no idea that Robin, a super awesome chic we met in Munich, would be so incredibly helpful or so nearby. In a city of seven million people, we discovered post-move that we live three houses down. We're clearly destined to be friends.
Robin and Tuan invited us to a Christmas event on Bond street that advertised free champagne and food in addition to fireworks, celebrities, and live music.
Before Tuan arrived, we were a little intimidated about going into Chanel and Cartier and the like to score free champagne. After Tuan joined us though, he inspired us to be undaunted by fancy places we would clearly never patronize to partake of their free goods. Here he is strolling around carolers to retrieve mince pies. I'm in awe of him.
Tuan was similarly undaunted by these stunning carolers who he charmed within moments of their last song. Tuan would be the best wingman ever.
The food comprised such a stellar free dinner: aforementioned mince pies, cookies from Camper, roasted chestnuts from a fancy hotel, stollen from a wildly expensive shoe store, fancy chocolates, and of course bubbly. London appears to be a mecca of great free stuff.
