Pretty in Petra: Jordan Part 2
Jordan day two fulfilled Indiana Jones dreams. As per usual, I dressed for the adventure, and was ready to take on the day. In the vain of Mr. Jones, I wore my tan floppy hat and a button up top. To snazz it up, I added some pops of color with my burnt orange culottes…

The Journey to Jordan
Come away with me to the region of ancient history. Come away with me, on a biblical pilgramage, on a journey that revives the soul, connecting you with the culture of a far off land that is so unlike your own, but maybe not as unreachable as you would expect. Join me on my four…

Ireland-Wear
Is there a place in the world where you’ve been for the first time, and it immediately felt like home? If you’ve ever had that sensation, you understand my feelings towards Ireland. It is a land where you meet unfamiliar, yet friendly accents. The land is green, the hospitality is so warm that you’ll thaw…

Lane Lookbook
One of the things I love most about London? Every neighborhood has its own personality. The East End of London is a completely different character than South Kensington (check out an article about South Kent here). Brick Lane specifically is where a friend and I adventured today. If I could sum up the area in…

Struttin’ in Stratford
Stratford Upon Avon is a charming little town that is known for its Shakespeare heritage. As it is the place where he was born, wrote some of his plays, got married, and is buried, the town is high on the list for any literary lover. However, it is more than a Shakespeare sight. It…
