Of all of the things I was planning to do in Singapore - drinking at the top of the Marina Bay Sands, visiting a Hawkr market, and the National Orchid Garden visiting the mall was not one of them. However, during one of the days I was there in early May the skies absolutely opened up and there were a few hours where the rain was absolutely insane. Most of the shops were look but don't touch type establishments but one department store was having a huge sale and I ended up walking out with this color block lace dress. It is a bit ironic that it is a British brand that I bought in Singapore but I have worn the dress half a dozens times since and I like it more and more every time. I have worn it to work in London, to business meetings in Germany, and even to my ...
Biking in the Cotswolds
As part of our weekend away in the Cotswolds where we stayed at the gorgeous Tortworth Court, on Saturday we spent the majority of the day exploring the coutnrside via bike. Having driven from London we certainly did not bring our own bikes and after a quick Google I decided on renting them from Far Peak Cycling, getting two Adult Hybrid Bikes for the day. Picking the bike was the easy part, the route was a much harder decision! We decided to go for the Coln and Leach Valley Loop from the half a dozen that were offered. While the website suggests that you can cover the 31 miles in 4-5 hours we did it in just over three if you don’t count the stop we made for lunch at a local pub. The hills definitely did make it a five out of ten in terms of difficult ...
Really Love My … Ellie Kai Dress
When I lived in New York I was lucky enough to have half a dozen invitations a week to various events around the city and one of my favorites, still to this day, was one I went to in early 2014 for the New York launch of a brand called Ellie Kai. I had the chance to meet the Founder, Designer and Chief Curator Liz Hostetter at the company’s New York City launch was a real treat and the fact they gave me a dress to take home was icing on the cake. I featured that dress here on the blog in May 2014 and since then have bought a few other dresses from the brand. One of the things I like most about the brand. You get to pick the fabric, the size, and the length of the dress but they have dozens of styles to choose from (and this one was a few years ago, sorry that I ...
For the Love of Rainbow Salads
Vegetable Rainbow Salad It is the middle of the July so the signs that read "get your Summer body ready" are finally gone from all of the gyms but just because we are in the peak of the season does not mean it is the time to drop the health or fitness. If you have been following along on my Insta you will have noticed I have been trying to make a concerted effort to improve my fitness. And the great part? It has been going really well!The other part that mixes with the fitness though is the nutrition and I am looking for more interesting ways to spice things up. Thus, when I came across a great rainbow salad on Pinterest I went down an wonderful rabbit whole of recipes. I had a heath teacher in middle school who advised that you want every meal to have as many ...
