Really Love My … Black and White Triangles

10/22/19 | Fashion and Style, H&M, really love my ...

London Fashion Blogger - LFW - London Influencer - London Fashion Outfit - Black and White

Every once in a while I wear a piece so much that it starts to fall apart.  Not to say it is bad fabric but nearly anything after 100 washes is going to start to look tired, worn, and/or pilly and this sleeveless black and white dress is getting close to that point - I nearly tossed it when I switched my wardrobe over this past weekend but decided it is good for one more go around!

Ellie Kai Dress in New York

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 ...

What to Do in Lisbon - Kelly at the Torre de Belem (Belem Tower)

Today I am off on my last business trip of the year - a day trip to Amsterdam - and to say I am tired is an understatement but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Between work and travel I have been to 15 countries this year - 10 were new to the list and five were repeats - and more than anything else, I also moved abroad.  And as I think it would be unfair to rank them, I have ...

Sparkles and Shoes 6th Birthday Letter

Today is the 6th birthday of my blog.  It has been six years since I first hit publish on my first post and boy has a lot changed.  I now have a great job instead of an entry level one, I now live in a foreign country instead of 30 minutes from where I grew up, and I am no longer a self proclaimed bad writer - heck, I have published nearly half a million words at this point - practice ...
