Outfit of the Day: Summer in Winter

Ello poppits!  No classes today!  I decided to pair some favorite summer pieces (Banana Republic Tank Top and Aerie Cardigan) with more wintery pieces like (T.J. Maxx thigh high boots, Target leggings, and a Forever21 button skirt). After yesterday's blistery 2 hour walking tour in the cold heart of London I was starting to miss all things "summer" like... 1.

Life in London: My Miu Miu Bike

I'm in love with the gorgeous collection from Miu Miu for SS11 (Spring/Summer 2011).  Today, when visiting the Barbican Centre in London I saw this whimsical pink bicycle leaning against a black rod iron fence that had spring moss peeking out at the bottom.  It reminded me of Miu Miu SS11 so much.  Here are photos of their window displays, just so you can get...

Life in London: Anne Klein Heels of Hell

"Lady Butterfly" by Me

My new happy place: Oliver Bonas

This U.K. store is amazing.  They have lovely clothes, but I'm more keen towards their accessories and home ware.  Check out my favorites. 1. Simple Pleasures: Little Things That Make Life Worth Living.  It's an adorable book with writings about different "simple pleasures" in life that often go unnoticed.  For example, mowing the lawn or buying school supplies. 7.99 pounds. 2. Peanut Butter...

Week 1 of Living in London: 15 Little Observations

1. Gum is not a big deal here.  Chewing gum for Americans is like smoking cigarettes for the British. 2. Tight pants are not only for the emo kids. That's right, many of London's fashionable men are pulling off the snug fit.  Also, I've noticed that American men, for the most part, seem to have smaller bums.  Maybe it's just my imagination. 3. Apparently I look like...
