Wham BAM! I looked up at my calendar this morning and realized that Valentines Day is like 2.5 seconds away. Our tradition has always been to skip the overcrowded restaurants and set menus, and stay home on the actual day. We exchange thoughtful gifts and have a laugh together. Last year, my hubby loved the […]
{My Style} Monochrome Moment
If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that the winter months are perfect for a monochrome moment. Yes, I realize that these photos were taken on a beach, and most of us are freezing our behinds off in London, but this look has taken me through a myriad of occasions, including a 30th […]
{Mummy & Me} The Kate Effect
It’s pretty much guaranteed that anytime K Middy wears something, it turns to fashion gold. Well, yesterday was my first personal experience with the “Kate Effect.” A few years ago I met Sara Madderson at an International Women’s Day lunch, and she was telling me that she wanted to start a fashion line. We remained […]
{My Style} Mini-Skirts aren’t just for Summer…
For most of us, our normal routine is to grab a pair of jeans unless we have someplace fancy to go. When was the last time you wore plaid skirts, or any skirt for that matter, just because? I thought about this the last time that I put this outfit on. I love wearing skirts, […]
{My Style} HAPPY NEW YEAR
2015 will be our eighth year living in London, and I have to say that after an adjustment period, I could not be happier about living there. But it hasn’t always been that way. Last summer I was ready to throw in the towel with London. Many of you girls may have felt the same […]

{My Style} Off the Rails
I’ve worn this outfit so many times I can’t even count. It’s perfect for running around London, and each piece can be worn so many different ways. If you didn’t get a hold of the Frame Denim ripped jeans yet, then they are a must-have (they still have a few at Selfridges) and Topshop also makes a […]
{My Style} Stand out from the Clouds
I was going to start this post with a smug comment about how I’m sitting here in the Los Angeles sunshine writing about coats, but it’s ACTUALLY raining here in LA this morning, and I really wish I had brought this red coat. Truth be told, this is an old Marc Jacobs number, one of my […]

{My Style} Classic essentials make the perfect outfit.
My sense of style is, I would say is pretty basic and I don’t like to overcomplicate things. Black skirt, fur vest, black knee high boots, DONE. All essentials that every lady needs in her closet. Although its pretty much freezing in London now, this is a great outfit to be worn under a coat, […]
{Travel} An American Girl at The Hotel Eden, Rome
I haven’t been to Rome since college and have been dying to go back for ages. So, for my birthday this year Husby and I decided to take two days away to enjoy the Eternal City. Where to stay was a no-brainer! If there’s a Dorchester Collection hotel somewhere that’s where I’m staying, so we […]

Liberty has been one of my favorite department stores ever since I moved to London. I usually head to either the stationary or home departments, although I always knew they had […]
