Plaid + Other Thoughts

October 29, 2013

Just some randoms for your Tuesday:

+ Plaid — a trend that I can totally get on board with. There’s something so familiar and warm about it, don’t you think? This Stella sweater is the ultimate but shop a few more {wallet friendlier!} picks below.

+ Breaking Bad. We are just now getting into this {so late to the game} but we’re hooked! I don’t want it to end! Any ideas for shows to start watching when we’re finished with Breaking Bad? Shows that appeal to guys and gals? {Try as I may, I just can’t get Matt into Pretty Little Liars.}

+ Vestiaire Collective — My new favorite online store. I’ve added it to my morning routine of checking in on my favorite sites and blogs. Some of my favorites: their Chanel espadrilles, anything Isabel Marant, and of course their handbags {these and these being top on my “stalk” list.}

+ In looking for the perfect slouchy t-shirt to layer under blazers and jackets I decided to try something inexpensive and basic: these babies from H&M. I ordered one size up and I love them — they’re such a perfect, drapey material that lays nicely. No guarantee on the quality here, but at that price I can’t complain too much.

+ Portugal! We’re leaving in two weeks and we’ll be in Lisbon and Cascais — if you’ve been and have any tips on what to see and do while we’re there, let me know!

Around Here

October 28, 2013

{Fall has arrived in London! It’s been so gorgeous here. I’m wearing Madewell trench and flats, and J Brand jeans.}

{We visited Cocomaya to try their famous cronuts but sadly they were sold out! We had afternoon tea instead, which was still delicious.}

{Doing some jewelry organization. Side note: does anyone want to buy my bubble necklace? It’s the original J.Crew one: not the fake or factory version. I’ll consider reasonable offers!}

{I get super bakey when the weather gets chilly — tried these buttermilk chocolate chip cupcakes and they were amazing.}

Hope you had wonderful weekend!

Lately

October 21, 2013

{Sandals that will sadly have to wait until Springtime to be worn.}

{Pretty lights, walking through Chinatown on our way to the opera.}

{My gorgeous nephew, Gio, who I can’t wait to meet.}

{An easy, healthy lunch: heat a little olive oil in a skillet and add in cooked quinoa, pine nuts, salt and pepper. Add in some kale until wilty and top with freshly grated Parmesan.}

{Hoping to use these sunglasses lots on our trip to Portugal next month.}

{Gorgeous city.}

Hope you had a lovely weekend!
