A few weeks ago I shared my trip biking in the New Forest and mentioned how I wanted to visit more of the U.K. countryside and that mission is well on it's way. Using one of my extra vacation days from 2018 I took a random Thursday off and headed on a roadtrip south of London to visit Leeds Castle and the Cliffs of Dover, though today's post is only about the former. Now let me tell you, my UK geography is pretty bad but I do know that Leeds is far from London and would be a very long day trip but was surprised to learn Leeds Castle is actually in Kent, not Leeds, and only an hour and a half South of London!!As you wander the ground you can definitely see remnants of when it was a Norman stronghold . Even thought it was quite grey the day we visited the mile plus walk to the castle ...
I’m a Catfish Victim – But It’s Not What You Think
Normally writing a blog post is an easy and natural process because an idea just pops into my head, I jot it down, and away we go. Today’s is different. Today’s blog post is a topic I have been conserved writing about for a while but I have been cautious because it is a personal topic but also the dark side of putting your life out on the Internet. Bottom line; people on the internet are pretending to be me to get money. When I say people, I meant that in the plural as this is not the first time this has happened.

Spring Has Sprung
After an entire weekend in Germany for a work conference I am excited to take a bit of a break and this evening after landing at Heathrow I am driving a few hours out into the country to spend a few days of R&R in the Cotswolds. Make sure you are following on Instagram because I am sure I will be posting a ton from this gorgeous Victorian Mansion we are staying at plus pictures of countryside (fingers crossed). But now until then I want to share this normal work look I would wear to the office or switch out the bag and wear to a work meeting. I am big fan of versatile dresses that don't wrinkle when you pack plus flats are always a good idea!

Barrettes are Back
I am so glad you all liked my denim trends post from last week and I had a blast putting it together so here is a new one for you - barrettes! They are back with a vengeance and I have rounded up a whole bunch avalaiable for this season. And it might just be me, but with things like hair accessories, seeing the size in centimeters in a description box on a website makes it really hard for me to visualize. So instead of just product shots, I have included a lifestyle shot with each one so you can see the real size and some ideas of how to style it! Without further ado, priced from low to high (because don't we all sort that way?): Kitsch Star Bobby Pin Set in Gold $14Kitsch Rhinestone Snap Hair Clip in Hematite/Clear $29.00Kitsch x Justine ...
