Because no matter what is happening right now, there is always something to smile about.

Here are a few things that are making me particularly positive:

It’s been a little over three years since my husband and I made the life changing decision to move to London and quite frankly, it’s hard to imagine a life anywhere else. Yes, even on the rainiest days, I’m still in love with this city.

Without a doubt, moving here has the best decision of our lives and to mark the milestone, I thought I’d reflect back on the past few years with some questions to myself. A fun exercise that’s filled me with so much gratitude towards this place and the people and places that make it so special.

Earlier this year, we were lucky to have our friends, Kyndall Elliott and her husband Ronnie, visit us from Idaho. Kyndall is an incredible wedding photographer and I was so lucky that she volunteered to take a few photos of me around Notting Hill.

Because I learned so much while Kyndall was around, I asked if she might do a Q&A for the blog, answering a few questions about working with a photographer (plus a few photography and editing tips too!). Her answers are, like Kyndall herself, amazingly helpful:

It’s so helpful to think of a few colors to stick to each season. Akin to my strategy in packing a suitcase, you want to minimize items you buy (or pack) and maximize the outfit options you have. Sticking to a few colors helps to ensure that any piece you pull out will probably go with at least a few other items.

My autumnal color palette can essentially be summed up by the colors in this dress—a few of my year-round favorites (I see you, blush pink!) plus a couple of new additions too!

Oh wisteria season, we've been waiting for you! It's a springtime phenomenon that turns London into a purple (and oh-so-Instagrammable) wonderland, and it’s easy to see why. This purple vine climbs so elegantly up the facades of London’s already beautiful homes.

I’m sharing my favorite spots to find this wonderful vine in West London:

Few things make me happier than days spent in Notting Hill, in part because of the pastel townhomes that always put a smile on my face. As it was Easter, I also added to the pastel theme with the details of my outfit, and I of course had to snap some photos.

This is how I dress for those awkward months where it feels like winter, but looks like spring. Covered in blooms from head to toe, my outfit does quite literally look the like coming season but I'm still warm enough for the current chilly temperatures.

If I were to give an award for prettiest season, spring is easily the winner. In Notting Hill, just as the pretty pink cherry blossoms are starting to fall off the trees, the purple wisteria begins to bloom.

Encompassing most areas of the Holland Park and Notting Hill neighborhoods, W11 is home to some of the prettiest streets (and walls!) in all of London, so naturally it's fun to pose in front of a few favorites.
