SUMMER IN LONDON

Ok guys on the real, summer in London has been a DREAM. There are a few things contributing to this, which I’ve listed below 🙂 1. The weather lately!!!

It also makes things a lot more exciting when I can pass along a blog post instead of an ugly email draft I have sitting in gmail, you feel me? Over my first year living…

BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN

The start of Spring always signals a little hair refresh, ya feel me? And for us blondes out there, this usually means lighter LOCKS.  I was in the states last week, so the timing worked out perfectly to pop in and see my hair stylist (Nacar at Laicale in NYC).  Below are before and after shots of my hair – needless to say, I was in need of some major TLC – cut, color, the whole shabang! After opting for…

SPRING DRESSING

Hi my beauties!  Thank the good lord, spring is finally HERE.  Did this not feel like the longest winter of all time?  Although I missed out on a northeast winter  in the states (which I am not complaining about) I finally got what people said about London weather.  Let’s just say, the grey can, well, get to you.  After one too many days of cloud covered skies, a girl can use some sunshine. With the onset of spring, you instantly…

Recently,…

HOLIDAY FEVER

I don’t know about you guys, but I have some SERIOUS festive fever.  It’s my first December in London, and I cannot get over how magical this city feels.  Once Halloween was over, things really started to heat up on the X-mas front.  London legit pulls out ALL the stops.  From the decorations on shopping streets like Oxford and Carnaby, to each hotel trying to out-do the next with the tallest tree, I can’t say I’ve ever been more excited about the…
