Since I picked up this dress two years ago on a whim at a Marshall's I have found myself turning to it time and time again. You will know from more than 150 Fashion Friday's that I am a big fan of an a-line shape and the cap shoulders are perfect for any situation - from business meetings to date nights. Case in point? I wore this dress to work on a Friday in London and then headed straight out for an evening with my brother when he came to visit London.These photos were taken before we had dinner at the Sky Garden which you can read more about here and has definitely become one of my favorite spots to take people when they are visiting. For work I usually pair this dress with flats and then brought a pair of heels for the evening or in this case, wedges! As you can probably tell from ...
Half a Dozen West End Reviews
When I was in New York for the end of Summer Bank holiday (the UK equivalent of Labor Day) I saw a Broadway show and my first thought was wow, it has been a while since I have been to the theater, but actually, that is not true! Since moving to London I have seen six West End productions and three of those have been since June! The most traditional were excellent Disney classics, Aladdin and Lion King. both i had actually seen on Broadway.

Two were New ...
Currently Trending: Pleated Skirts
As much as I hate to admit it, Fall is coming. One of the things about moving to London I have noticed as my second September gets underway is that it gets much colder, much sooner here. And to help cheer those blues my birthday countdown is still on (September 27th in case you missed the memo) and I am gearing up for London and Milan Fashion Weeks. Speaking of fashion, last season we saw pleated skirts on the runway for this season from Fendi, Proenza Schouler, Valentino, Christian Dior, Tod's, and more. However, based on my last reader survey for the most part those brands are out of most of your price range (and mine too). But that's why you are here, I am guessing, because I took the leg work out of the shopping for you and pulled together more ...
12 Things You Must See, Do, and Eat in Amsterdam
The fact where there was a period of time I did not leave the United States for four years (Summer 2011 to Summer 2015) is now absolutely bonkers to the girl who now lives abroad and has been to a dozen countries this year alone. It's crazy how times change! And while I still have Bali posts to share with you along with a few other England adventures I am going to switch it up today as someone asked for recommendations for the Netherlands and I realized I have never actually put together a list! I have now been to Amsterdam six times - four for work and twice for fun, for a total of two weeks. I am by no means an expert but I have seen the sites and do have a few of my favourites of this water bound city to share with you today!1 | The i Amsterdam Sign - The ...
