Always Classy, Never Trashy, and Just a Little Bit Sketchy!
Pretty in Pink is not just an ’80s movie title, but an absolutely appropriate way to describe Sketch Restaurant in the heart of Soho, London. What could be more heavenly than a pink-walled, pink-chaired teahouse and restaurant filled with tons of sassy sketches? It was the perfect blend of girly, urban, and retro-chic décor—and the…

Red Swimwear at the Red Sea: Jordan Part 4
What is more fitting than wearing a red swimsuit at the Red Sea? I am absolutely in love with this vintage one! It felt wonderful to wear this number on our boat ride on the Red Sea in Aqaba, Jordan. While I was sad that our trip to the Middle East was reaching its end,…

A London Lady at Heart: Why I Miss London
When you’ve accepted the London Call for an entire year, you cannot help but feel Nostalgia when the call finally gets disconnected. I may be an American, but I owe so much self discovery to my time abroad in London. I cannot discredit that there was a significant part of me found in the streets of…

Vartan in a Tartan: Scottish Style
With my green and blue tartan tightly wrapped around me, I stepped inside the beautiful country of Scotland. It was a weekend of time travel, as I traded the crisp white buildings of South Kensington in London for the grey stone buildings of Edinburgh and green fields of the highlands. There was much merriment in…

Notting Hill
This weekend, my fabulous friend (and one of my roommates) Rebekah and I travelled just two short stops on the tube to Notting Hill (yes, the same one in the movie with the ever so endearing Hugh Grant and the too perfect for words Julia Roberts). As I had not seen the movie before, we…

The Chic Chop
For a year or so, I have been contemplating cutting my hair–or mane as I’d like to call it. Ever since I can remember, my hair has been long. It has been more than just something on my head: it has been largely interwoven with my identity. With it, I was “Kristin: The Girl With…

Saucy in Sausalito
When I am by the Ocean, time seems to stop. Coastal towns are the best places to visit to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. When deciding to study abroad in London from Fall 2015 to Spring 2016, I welcomed the idea of trading a beach setting for a metropolitan one; I’ve always…

Christmas in the City
The song “I’ll Be home for Christmas” has never resonated with me quite like it has this year. Yes, Globe trotting and being based in London for a year is phenomenal, but nothing is like being home, especially during this time of year. Northern California, specifically San Francisco, is my favorite place to be during…
