While previously the holidays centered around family (and it still does!) I now am also lucky to have friends in London who feel like family to me. I try to keep old traditions going, but it feels really special to make new ones too.
Each year brings about changes, but I love an annual tradition to keep me feeling grounded (and as something to look forward to, no matter what the time of year). This particular tradition feels extra special—and wrapped with a ribbon, no less.
Read MoreGet ready for a long post, because I think Paris happens to be one of the most photogenic cities in the wold, so of course I got snapping! Last month I had a really special and memorable birthday weekend in Paris spent with my husband. A few days filled with incredible food, stunning sights, new discoveries and old favorites…and a little shopping too! Here’s what we got up to during our long weekend in Paris:
Read MoreBecause 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:
Read MoreI knew Tokyo would be a cool city, but it’s coolness far surpassed my expectations. People here are chic. So are the buildings. And of course the pockets of green spaces found within the city are a sight to behold, especially during cherry blossom season. I’ll be sharing our full itinerary soon, but until then, here are my seven favorite spots to get that perfect Instagram snap…or better yet, just revel in the beauty that is Tokyo.
Read MoreI may be biased, but I think no other city does Christmas quite like London. Everywhere you turn in the capitol is dressed up—from grand hotel facades to townhouse front doors. When you stumble upon some of these spots, you can’t help but smile and get excited for the coming season.
Yes, it can be stressful and hectic, but Christmas in London might also just be the most wonderful time of year.
Read MoreI come from a family of people who love to travel (myself included) and I’m lucky to have been to a fair amount of places. But I’m the only person who had still never been to Germany (save for a layover in an airport, but that doesn’t count). I felt a bit like I was missing out, so when Supal asked if I’d like to join her on a trip to Stuttgart, my answer was of course a firm ‘yes!’.
It was a whirlwind trip to say the least. From the moment we landed until the moment we took off back to London, our days were packed. From medieval towns to the most modern library you’ve ever seen, plus plenty of Christmas market charm, here’s what we got up to in Southwest Germany:
Read MoreA little earlier in the year, my fellow blogger Supal asked if I’d be interested in joining her on a trip to Porto. I’ve only ever heard wonderful things about this city, so it was an immediate ‘yes!’ from me. We managed to fit in so many experiences and sights during our two days in the city.
Here’s what we got up to during our time in this beautiful city:
Read MoreThe most versatile item in my winter wardrobe is an unexpected one—a houndstooth coat. With it’s streamlined tailoring, velvet details and blue, black and red pattern it’s already become the most reached for item in my closet. It looks lovely dressed up or down and can be worn in so many situations.
On a recent trip to Sweden, I inadvertently proved the versatility of this jacket by wearing three very different looks, all topped with this coat. Here’s how I styled this coat three ways while on our jaunt to Sweden:
Read MoreIt’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.
