Put A Bow On It

…and I'll probably buy it!

Trends and seasons may come and go and my tastes may change over time, but there are a few things that'll always catch my eye.

This outfit just happens to combine all three! And in front of That Pink Door in Knightsbridge, what could be better?

Pink House, Blue Bag

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.

A City Wedding In Chicago

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!).

Pink, Purple, and Petals

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.
