sailing takes me away

On a beautiful fall afternoon, I spotted a few sailboats on the Hudson River. The best views are definitely on this side of the city, and I could spend all day just watching the activity on the waterfront. There's also a great walking path along the water so getting a nice scenic run is always a nice option. I thought everyone could enjoy seeing some boats out on the water.

I woke up today in London

It's true, I really did wake up in London today after a cross Atlantic plane ride. Since this trip is more about business then pleasure, I might not have the opportunity to really find some new favorite things in the UK. In preparation, I thought all the things I love from Britian, so I'll give you a top 5 list in no particular order.
1) Harry Potter (particularly Ron Weasley)
2) Tea (seems so civilized)
3) Royalty (who doesn't want to be Kate? or at least have her fashion sense)
4) Posh accents - everything sounds smarter in a British accent
5) Double Decker Buses

what's the story morning glory

What a lovely surprise for my mailbox this week, mixed among the magazines, credit card offers, and bills was this beautiful card from one of my favorite people (and ever loyal blog reader). I couldn't resist taking a photo and sharing the classy card with everyone. I love the flowers as well as the sparkles - doesn't everyone love shiny things? All I have left to say is thank you for making my week!

how you sparkle how you shine

Every girl needs a few "night on the town" tops. I purchased this one from Piperlime to give a bit more spark in my Friday and Saturday night wardrobe choices.  I love pairing this with my skinny black pants, which definitely are a weekend staple and pair of flats or pumps (depending on how much walking/hobbling can be tolerated). The stripes are pretty flattering too, which is a bit plus with this top. The looks is great for a trendy bar, or a club, but can also be played down at more low key establishment.
