Hi friends!
I hope you all had a nice weekend! I’m so sorry for my absence around here last week. After all the gals left, I had a lot of tidying up to do, emails to get back to [so. many. emails.], errands to run and personal quiet time to enjoy. I feel so much better now that all of those things have been tended to and now I can focus on cranking out the blog posts that I’ve been wanting to share with you all!
I’m excited to start the week by sharing some of my favorite neutral outfit pieces [a gray cardigan, gray over the knee boots, a taupe bag, and white denim], as well as one of my favorite little places to enjoy an afternoon pick-me-up here in London, Peggy Porschen! She has the yummiest cakes, cupcakes, macaroons and other delectables. I would definitely encourage you to check it out if you want to do something a little different than hitting the ‘usual’ London spots. It’s definitely a great place to get a good Instagram photo 😉
In regard to neutrals, I don’t know about you but, lately, I have been gravitating toward camel, grey and taupe. You might have guessed from my latest Instagram selfies, ha! But, I’ve found that if you mix those colors with either black or white, you are sure to put together a super cute, chic Fall ensemble. Here are a few pieces to help you build an outfit of your own with those colors:
I absolutely love being in London [like, seriously, LOVE] but I REALLY miss being able to pop into my local Nordstrom to just meander and see what great pieces I can find. There aren’t any other department stores that have the selection, wide variety of brands, and customer service that they do. I may be ordering a few things to get in the holiday spirit this week! Can you believe it’s just around the corner? I can’t …. this year went by SO. FAST.
Here are some things that have caught my eye on their website recently:
Happy Monday, friends! Hope you have a great start to your week! Thank you so much for stopping by! xo.

Thank you!
Hi! I am heading to London next week for a few days and wonder if you have any recs on what to pack, re: layers or footwear. I’ll only be there for about 5 days so don’t want to pack the whole closet but want to be warm, comfy and cute!
Hi Sirena, I suggest layers and comfortable shoes, like Nike’s or flat boots with warm socks. I would stick to neutral colors so that you can make multiple outfits out of less items. If you peruse my Instagram and blog, you’ll find lots of recommendations on good and affordable layers to snag before you go! xo.
Loving the coziness of this look!
Love,

I have been loving neutrals lately as well! I’m especially loving to add blush pink items to my outfits! Love this look!
