Hello and welcome to another episode of Fashion Friday! I am so excited to finally share this dress with you which I think the website describes perfectly - "a shot of print perfection" . It has been my favorite dress of Summer since I purchased it from ASOS in May and I wear it every chance I get. Everything abut it is fun from the palm leaf print, to the criss cross scoop back and to the subtle but flirty cut outs. I wore this palm leaf dress to dinner with my Mom, complemented by some metallic accessories and a pop of red lipstick the last time she was in town and absolutely love how these photos came out. Plus, anything with the Tower Bridge in the background really does not get much more iconic. Take a look: Dress ...
My Visit to London Comic Con
A few weeks ago I had the chance to go to London's ComicCon and it was a real treat. I received a three day press pass but with no air conditioning one day was all I was able to manage but I feel like I was really able to experience all that and then some in those few hours. London Film & Comic Con took over the whole of the Olympia - a massive an exhibition center / event space in the West Kensington borough London the last weekend of July and despite three hours of wandering around, I still do not think I saw everything. It was laid out with meet and greets on the top floor and the exhibition booths in the main space. Take a look: And the reason this post is delayed? There is a new Sherlock Homes game coming to London this Fall and as such ...
Safari in the Ngorongoro Crater
Welcome to another safari post! Our family trip in July to Eastern Africa was so incredible that I have to split the thousands of photos into more than a few posts so once you have caught up on the first three Africa posts – the highlights of Kenya and Tanzania and a view into the Lake Manyara National Park– we can dive into the next national park. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and visited by more than half a million visitors a year and after staying a few nights in the park and driving into the famous crater, I can see why. In the crater than there tens of thousands of animals with many of the big nine including , 4,000 zebras, more than 3,000 Grant's and Thomson's gazelles, 62 ...
Blue and White for the Birthday Brunch
On Saturday a handful of friends joined me in Little Venice for a delicious birthday brunch. I reserved a table on the outdoor patio at The Waterway and friends - both new and old - joined for a few hours of merriment. We started with a few bottles of bubbly and split the mezze platter (hummus, grilled halloumi, red pepper fetta, olives, and pita bread) as well as some delicious sashimi avocado tuna tartare.Then for the mains everyone whether own way - some going the brunch route with the poached eggs with smoked salmon with hollandaise and others went the entree route with the Crispy Szechuan duck salad. The bubbles then gave way to iced coffee, tea, and Aperol Sprtizs which are never a bad idea in my book. After that we had a few delicious desserts with candles including the ...
