London at night is a different world compared to London during the day. It is a world I rarely experience as the sun doesn’t set until 10 PM {seriously}, and my bedtime is about 9:45 PM {actually}.
But it’s a world that enchants me. Continue Reading

HERE COMES THE SUN
The Beatles. Amy Winehouse. And me.
What a day. Continue Reading
BREXIT
As I innocently attempted to be a tourist this weekend, and check ‘Trafalgar Square’ off my 30 day list, I stumbled upon an Anti-Brexit march. I had no idea more than 10,000 people would be joining me on my excursion to this famous London landmark.
But I didn’t hate it. Continue Reading
HAMSTEAD HEATH
So after many a plan planned, none of them actually developed this weekend. Instead, plans changed.
As we know, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
And we love that. Continue Reading
INDEPENDENCE DAY
The irony of being in Britain, on a day we celebrate gaining American independence from Britain. All the while, wrapped up in the middle of Brexit, and Britain determining their own independence from the European Union. What a time to be alive people.
But today also marks my own independence. My last California girl is leaving me this week, so I am holding it down for America solo from now on.
With all of the craziness involving Britain leaving the EU, and the presidential election back home, I am looking forward to four months of vacation in countries less involved in the madness. It is a monumental time to be alive, whether you agree or disagree with the direction your country, or the world, is moving.
For all of those at home BBQing by the pool, floating down the Russian River, and lighting illegal fireworks in the street: I envy you.
Enjoy all of the freedoms we, as Americans, are granted. Rather than taking them for granted.
Happy 4th of July!
LAST DAYS IN LONDON
It’s July 1st! A day I’ve been anticipating as much as I have been dreading.
I have one month left in London. 30 days to be exact.
How did this happen?

GÅLÖ, SWEDEN
This weekend I was invited to Gålö, Sweden to visit Eric’s family and celebrate Midsummer with them! It was a weekend of minimal make up and sea soaked hair. We were blessed from the weather gods who provided us with sunshine and a cloudless sky for a good chunk of the 72 hours I spent in the country. Continue Reading
I’M HERE TO SEE THE MAYOR
Today’s blog post is full of inspiration, updates, and memories. Just an opportunity to sit down with you guys and chat before I board my plane to Sweden tonight. Fear of flying leads to procrastination and diversions.
Time to reminisce, are we ready? Continue Reading
A DAY AT THE RACES!
This past Saturday I spent my afternoon at the Royal Ascot Races!
It was AMAZEBALLS. To say the least.
