I have lived here for more than nine months and there are still so many things that I want to do in London. I have broken them into three categories - any time things, warm weather things, and cold weather things. And friends, before you get too excited, the photo above is from before my time living in London - yes, Big Ben is still under renovation and will be for a few more years. (You can see what I mean here). Now that we got that out of the way, here is my list!

Dracula’s Castle in Romania
As many of you recall at the beginning of last month I went on a whirlwind trip to Eastern Europe. When people asked why I was going to Romania - and that was about 98% of people because if you say “I am going to Paris!” Most will say things like wow, amazing but when I told people I was going to Romania the number one question was why, closely followed by, “Bucharest, do you mean Budapest?” And while I highly recommend Budapest I wanted to go for two reason’s - to see the Christmas markets and to visit Dracula’s castle.

The castle is located quite a way from the Romanian capital of ...
Bundled in Red Heat
Welcome to another Friday Fashion post and a very cozy one at that. It is the season to bundle up and this cozy bouclé knit sweater makes it easy to do just that. I love the soft fabric, bright color, and cowl neck design. For a winter look I paired it with leather leggings and these pearl earrings which are one of my favorite recent purchases - especially that my hair is now darker - made with real pears in a hoop silhouette - a sassy pop of class! I also can not believe since I bought them nearly three years ago that this is only the second time these Ferragamo flats have made an appearance in a fashion post - you can see when I got them here and when I wore them last here. This is not indicative of how loved they are - in fact, I just got them resoled for ...
Exploring the Marrakesh Medina
Welcome to another Moroccan travel post! During my week long trip in October we certainly packed a lot in and to be honest, Marrakesh was the city I was least excited about. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman stole my heart in Casablanca when I watched it in high school so I was thrilled to visit that costal city and camping in the Sahara dessert sound incredible but I did not think our middle stop would be much to write home about. While Westerners spell it Marrakesh locals use the French spelling Marrakech and according to some sources the Marrakesh Medina is the number one Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Morocco and after spending two days there, I can see why. The Marrakesh Medina literally just means the old part of the city but starting in the Jemaa ...
