Despite just how baffling the news stories might be, I think it’s good to stay abreast of stories that might affect me or my community, what’s going on worldwide. Here’s my routine for checking the news and my go-to sources for stories.

And don’t worry, I’m also giving details on this outfit, it’s how I do casual—a little bit extra!

How to Style A Little White Dress…or at least how I like to style one, and for me, it’s all about a classic color combination for a classic look.

When you hear ‘little white dress’ you might be reminded of a bridal shower or engagement party, but I think there’s so much more to this garment. Like a blank canvas, it can be turned into anything and be fit for any occasion, really, depending on on what you choose to add to it.

The addition of a few black, white and gold accessories turns this into a timeless look that’ll take you plenty of places.

Despite the fact that I take public transport regularly, have a tendency to spill coffee and have two black cats, this white coat has become a staple of my winter wardrobe this year. Against all odds, it’s even managed to stay clean. And I’ve even worn it on board four flights—really!

I really like white coat plus a few sparkly accessories as a different take on festive dressing, and this outfit is a shining example!

Chances are if I'm headed into central London, I'll probably also make a stop by my favorite spot in the whole city, Regent’s Park. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, it's the place I return to whenever I'm looking to clear my head or just need a breath of air.

It seems that so much time spent around the roses has begun to rub off on my wardrobe and I'm finding myself blending into this beautiful spot!

Better really (like, really) late than never, so here are a few photos from last summer when we flew out to Chicago for a family wedding. I was a bit nervous, as I'd be meeting quite a few of my husband's family members for the first time. And even more nervous because I hadn't yet chosen what to wear (or even brought a dress with me!).
