(Jonnie + Garrett Photography - source) Today is my dad's birthday but instead of the traditional birthday hommage, I am going to do something a bit different. I am going to share something in the future I want to do with my dad, a Father-Daughter First Look. In case you are not familiar, a "first look" is when a the bride and groom see each other on their wedding day before their wedding ceremony. I still have not decided if Mark and I are going to do one but after seeing dozens of gorgeous shots on Pinterest I have decided I want to do a first look with my Dad. It will be his first time seeing me in a wedding dress and even though my Dad is typically not very emotional I think this moment will be really special even if he does not cry or freak out like some of ...
My Best Quarantine Purchases, Part One
The amount of Amazon boxes that arrive for me is alarming, I must admit. But in my defence with COVID and order of three little things tends to come in three boxes on three different days. And much of what I have purchased is really not interesting (like a napkin holder or dishwasher cleaner) but there have been a few good purchases! Overall, I have had more than a few dozens orders in the last few months and this is the first part of my wrap up, as the title suggests, focused on my best fashion quarantine purchases and the second part will focus on the other items. And I have decided to not include home decor items in either post as those have been featured in my London Flat posts, two more of which are coming soon! I hate to admit it but I have bought a few more ...
Patriotic in a High Neck Midi Dress
This will be my third time celebrating the 4th of July in the UK and let me tell you, it is NOT a holiday here. If you think about it, the reason it is a holiday in the United States is because the British lost so it is understandable why they do no celebrate here. And as an American in London I straddle a very interesting line so instead of flaunting a flag I wore a subtle patriotic look, a white lace high neck midi dress and styled it with a red bag, red shoes, blue sunglasses, and blue earrings. I think it is a subtle nod but also a cute look. This dress was a recent purchase from Asos and when I featured it on my Instagram I had a poll based on something my fiancé said - he thought it looked like a table cloth ... Thankfully the majority of you agreed with me and ...
Sparkle Session: Fiena Members Club
I am so glad you all liked my latest Sparkle Session, featuring Lindsey, a London based female entrepreneur, and her company Bourne Antiques. As with the last few interviews in this series I have been shifting the focus to people I know or have met in person as I have friends and acquaintances doing great things like designing swimwear or writing children's books or a illustrating for top fashion magazines. And today is no different, let me introduce you to Jae Ruax, the founder of Fiena Members Club. You may recall I mentioned Fiena back in February when I shared about my trip to East London for an event at Lauren Baker’s gallery. The evening was put on by Fiena Members Club, a group which I had recently joined at the time, and I had the chance to meet some of the ...
