I feel like there is NOTHING better than styling for holiday. It’s the only time of year where it’s more than appropriate to 1. wear sequins and sparkly anything; 2. get a little extra with your makeup situation (pass me all of the highlighter and red lipstick plz); and 3. enjoy copious amounts of holiday cocktails and mince pies (oh, bc it is a THING here) It’s my 2nd festive season in London town, and god I can’t get enough. …
Hellloooo Cyber Week 2018! God, it’s like my favorite favorite time of year for so many reasons. First off, it’s feeling SO festive in London. They don’t really do the whole Thanksgiving thing, sooo I feel like we get a bit of a head start over here. Lights and decorations are up, Oxford and Regent shopping streets are already pure chaos, and the holiday party invites are coming in. One thing the Brits have picked up on, however, is CYBER…
Part of what’s so fun about living in London is how easy it is to pop into Paris. A night or long weekend? No problem! Be there in a few hours. Life is crazy, fleeting, and feels like a dream at the moment. I just hope no one wakes me up 🙂 Although I’ll be back in Paris in just a few days, I got to spend a night there last week with some friends for a quick work trip. …
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!!! We all know about London weather – grey and at times dreary. BUT, this summer we’ve had tons of sunshine. Let’s just say, morale is particularly high as of late, and I’m not complaining one bit. 2. Love Island (essentially the UK version of The Bachelor, only better), is on every…
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…
Popping in to share some photos from an amazing day / evening that I spent with the lovely team from Farfetch last week! They curated a day of festive activities all over London for a group of fashion bloggers from both the US and UK. From playing dress up at the Shop at Bluebird in Chelsea, to the most festive dinner at Motel Studios in Shoreditch, their team pulled out all the stops and showed us the most magical holiday experience a…
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…
Damn, I can't believe it's already that time of year! This week is that weird in-between week - those few days that fall smack in the middle of Thanksgiving and December where you sortttt of feel like you can catch your breath? You know, right before the madness of Christmas parties, holiday travel, and overload on family time begins? I don't know about you, but I'm caffeinating hard this week, getting organized, and planning ahead so the…
Delicate, dainty, gold on gold EVERYTHING. When it comes to jewelry, the more minimalist (in my book), the better. I first discovered Astrid Miyu, a UK based Jewelry brand, on a trip across the pond last year. I stumbled into their pop-up shop in Shoreditch after a day of exploring London and literally fell in LOVE. Their designs are flawless, simple, and this perfect mix of classic and edgy.…
The sense of magic this time of year is palpable. And what better way to enjoy a few moments to yourself these holiday months than a staycation. Whether you’re like me and opt to spend a night or two at a hotel in a city that you still feel like the NEW GIRL, or your own humble abode, the magic and coziness this time of year never ceases to give me all of the holiday feeeeeels.…
