This weekend in London I had two great evenings where I lived some of my favorite childhood and adolescent memories; a Spice Girls concert and seeing the revamped Lion King production. Spice Girls was planned for my friend Ali's birthday (which is actually in a few weeks) and knowing she was a massive fan growing up we got tickets and headed to Wembley Stadium on Friday after work. The original cast was there, minus Posh, and did phenomenal job - from the set list to the choreography to the costumes. I loved the moments of confetti and fireworks and was actually really surprised how much I enjoyed the opener, Jess Glynne. The outfit I chose has not usually what I would have worn but the combination of us having standing tickets on the pitch (field) ...
Tulip Print Maxi Dress at the Beach
Happy, Happy Friday! While I have been a bit under the weather it has been an overall good week and I am excited to kick of the weekend with a Spice Girls concert tonight and then perhaps the theater on Saturday night.

Chihuly, a Washington State based artist, is known as the world’s most celebrated contemporary glass artists and his work is absolutely stunning set among the lush greenery at Kew! Even though it was not included on the map they hand about the pieces we Googled them as we walked around - some ...
Chic Sneakers
(Chanel Chic Sneakers Spotted at NYFW - source) As part of my new fitness mission I am trying to walk more - if I have time walking the miles to my destination instead of taking the Tube but with all of this walking I need good sneakers. I have been turning to my trusty black and white Nikes but they definitely do not match with everything. You have probably seen headlines like The Stylish Comfy Shoes That Celebrities Wear for Traveling or Best Stylish Trainers for Women and today I am rounding up my favorite chic sneakers.
