Welcome to the latest edition of Fashion Friday! I actually got a few emails when I missed the weekly feature two weeks ago as I was just so slammed with work it did not happen. Ce la vie, such is life. Happy to be back and happy to share with you a new outfit never seen before on the interwebs. You may recall last Summer starting out I did not have the best luck with Prime Wardrobe but my picks have gotten consistently better and after the last few months have picked up quite a few great items including these double lined running shorts, this breezy floral romper and this smocked maxi dress which I featured here. However today is about my latest find, this chic red jumpsuit.It is more of a fire engine red color cut from fluid woven crepe with a lightly textured finish. I was ...
100 Days and Counting
You may remember I posted in late January on what was supposed to be 100 days before my original wedding date that we were postponing. It was a very hard and sad decision but ultimately the right one so now the countdown is back on and we have hit the 100 day mark. I am in a number of bride to be facebook groups and seeing the other girls who are October 30th "date twins" have started to make me much more excited.Since I got engaged more than a year ago I have been using the checklist from the Knot as a source of truth and a guideline on when I should be doing certain things in the wedding planning process.

Memories of Madeira
Visiting the Madeira Botanical Garden in a Floral Printed Summer Playsuit It is hard to believe only 48 hours ago I was in sunny Madeira! while I came back to a sunny (and hot!) London, it is certainly not the same as being on holiday. Memories of Madeira may seem an odd title for this post as it has been less than two two days but I am already missing this beautiful island.This was my first solo trip in more than two years and for five days I went to Madeira which while technically Portugal this small archipelago is 300 miles off the coast of Africa and is it’s own little volcanic island of beauty. There will still half a dozen COVID checks including multiple tests (including a PCR one today now that I am back), but it was definitely worth it. My trip has included scuba diving, ...
Preppy Stripes at Wimbledon
Last week I had the chance to go to the women's semi-finals at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. As soon as I got my ticket I started thinking about my Wimbledon attire. On Instagram and in the news I saw girls in gorgeous dress and heels but I knew I would have a few issues with that. First, it was going to be cold and rainy. Second, I wad going to be taking two different subways, a train, and then going on a mile walk to get there. Third, the tournament had strict sizes on the size of bags allowed. Despite three years in England I still don’t automatically know centimeters but a bag 40cm x 30cm x 30cm seemed pretty big.Thus I could not believe my Longchamp was technically too large - when I say technically it was too big by an inch when measured luring flat and empty. However, if ...
