Hi friends! Happy Monday!

You can probably tell by the late post that I’m clearly a little slow getting started today. This past week in Italy has been so wonderful but, anytime you travel, eventually you hit a crazy level of exhaustion that you can’t resist. And, last night, I hit mine. We had a little bit of a delay in getting back into London [where I’m staying for a few more days] due to a train losing signal. Then, we had to wait in the longest line ever to reserve a taxi. By the time we got back and had dinner delivered, I took a  shower and couldn’t find the motivation to do ANYTHING. I was out like a light at midnight and didn’t get up until 10AM London time. I definitely needed the sleep. I woke up feeling so much better.

Once I got up and ready, I ventured over to a cute little coffee shop within walking distance from my friend’s place called The BARN. It’s very rustic and cozy. It gives you a very ‘homey’-like feel. At first, I thought they only had coffee but, thankfully, they also have food. I got the yummiest sandwich after enjoying my cappuccino, and have enjoyed setting up my table as my little office for the day. Later, I’m meeting my friend for dinner in Piccadilly Circus for sushi then heading over to Leicester Square to see the play, Book of Mormon.

I absolutely love being in this city. There’s so much to do, see and enjoy. If I’m missing anything, though, it’s dress weather back home. Ha! In Florida, I had gotten used to wearing pretty Spring dresses and today, I am wearing a sweater, jeans and a peacoat. But, let’s be honest … a large majority of America is still experiencing those chilly days so, to get those of you who are still anxiously awaiting dress weather ready, I am featuring one of my favorite dresses that I have purchased this Spring so far. THIS dress hugs you in all the right places, is available in about ten different colors, and comes in regular and petite sizing. I wore it to my friend Liz’s rehearsal dinner in March. Y’all may remember it from my Snapchat, where I was asking y’all to weigh in on what accessories to wear with it.

Later this week, I’ll be enjoying some beautiful weather beachside, so I am currently looking at these dresses to pack with me! Most are under $100:

I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! I’m hoping to get some packing tips up to y’all by the end of the week, per y’alls requests! xo.
