For years, I shied away from hats, thinking I needed some fabulous occasion to wear them out.  But after investing in this wide-brimmed when I first arrived in London I’ve realized how very very wrong I was. Hats are the perfect staple for every closet.  They void a need for accessories and put an unmistakeable flair to your outfit.  They’re kind of like stilettos for your head; if you can own ’em, you feel on top of the world

Day 50

50 days? How has this much time already passed?  London already feels like a second home and I can’t believe how much I still want to do with so little time left!

Jossie and I celebrated the sunny day with a nice run in Regents Park. We’ve all been swamped with midterms and papers, so getting some fresh air and watching puppies run around was the perfect medicine.

Day 46

Day 46: I imagine it’s pretty easy to tell what’s on my mind since this is the 4th food post this week!.Oh well, can’t blame a girl for loving her food! Today’s post is a yummy chicken broth soup. I actually had it yesterday buuuut all the pics I took today will be on the blog soon enough. I spent the day writing a paper for class and working on several posts for the week. This is starting to be a lot of fun 🙂

Vintage Shirt, H&M Necklace, ASOS Shoes, Primark Tights

Though trends can be hard to follow, one English staple look will always be an oversized top. Whether it’s a wool coat or a vintage button down, an oversized top is an effortless way to feel put together and bold. Most people shy away from oversized tops for fear of looking “boxy” or shapeless. But paired with slick tights, it’s an easy way to balance the look by bringing shape back into the ensemble.
If you’re in the market for a smock, check out your local thrift store. I got mine in town for just $7 and it’s one of the comfiest pieces I own.

Day 44

Day 44: Bed bugs! Jill was up all night with bug bites so we decided to stay in Edinburgh and cancel the day trip we had planned up North. We hiked up to Arthur’s Chair for the best view in the city and even soaked our feet in the sand at Portobello beach. Although the water was FREEZING, you would have thought it was a sunny summer day with all the excited dogs playing.
