In one month I will be on a plane to Florida for a bit of Winter sunshine and one of my favorite activities when I am in Naples is swimming outside. Granted, there is an outdoor pool here in London but it is really not the same. As I get ready for the trip I am updating the playlist on my swim MP3 player and these are the new songs I am adding that will be great to swim to: 10,000 Hours - Dan + Shay with Justin Bieber Boyfriend - Ariana Grande Carry On - Kygo and Rita Ora Circles - Post Malone Con Calma Remix - Daddy Yankee DANCE - CLMD Drip Too Hard - Lil Baby Fill Me In - Loud Luxury Light it Up - Calvo Live Forever - Liam Payne and Cheat Codes Louder - Sulta + Shepard MGNO - Russel Dickerson Old Town Road, Diplo Remix - Ll Nas X and ...
I Really Love My … Winter Parka
While it has been unseasonably warm here in England (50°F / 10°C instead of 35°F / 2°C) it is usually the season, the end of January, where I have to pull out my warmest layers and for the past three winters that has been this warm Canada Goose jacket. For two seasons in New York I hemmed and hawed over buying this jacket not loving the branding on the shoulder or how much of a cult item it had become but after booking a trip to Iceland I bit the bullet and bought one. And my only regret is that I did not do it sooner. I did quite a bit of research and the heavyweight, non-stretch Arctic Tech weave fabric and the water resistant material that goes down to mid-thigh were the biggest selling points for me. I tried quite a few different styles and ...
The Ancient Egyptian Temple of Dendera
When I got back to work one of the most frequent questions I was asked is what was your favorite part of Egypt. The easy and number one answer is the pyramids - they are massive, incredible, and truly a testament to human will power and engineering. But my number two answer is a place very few people have heard of, Dendera Temple. The Dendera Temple complex is an hour and a half North of Luxor and is quite expansive - covering 40,000 square meters (10 acres) and even to this day much of it is surrounded by a hefty mudbrick wall. The entire complex dates back 2,000 years and when it was completed the wall was higher than the temple on all sides to protect it though elements have deteriorated over the centuries. I actually took quite a few ...
A Statement Red Blazer
I have been on the hunt for a chic red blazer for ages. I think it serves as such a great statement piece and since I have so many great black staple pieces I know it would just mix and match perfectly. And this is why I am still torn on this blazer as it is ALMOST exactly what I was looking for. This piece is part of Blair Eadie's collaboration with Halogen and I ordered half a dozen pieces from the collection when they hit Nordstrom. This blazer was one of my favorites with its polished cut, notched lapels, back vent, and slight spandex stretch. Speaking of Spandex, I love how well they pair with my Spanx Faux Leather Leggings which are an amazing 14% Spandex. So why isn't this blazer perfect? Of all people, my brother summed it up quite well, ...
