Ending On A Sweet Note


We wrapped up our trip with a behind the scenes look at the Catherine Walker shop and offices.  Since Catherine's death, her husband Said has continued designing, most notably for Kate Middleton.  Said told us that there are three things that set Catherine Walker apart from other designers and coturiers. First, they use male tailors to produce their clothing.  Second, everything they make is made in Chelsea and (third) is made specifically for the client.   


Our last London afternoon was spent at the Berkley Hotel for their famed Pret-A-Portea.  Each season, a new menu is designed modeled off the current runway trends.

the menu


my favorite was the spiked blue Louboutin pump cookie and the chocolate (python) Miu Miu handbag.  

our tea tray kept being refilled, so these cute little take out boxers were very helpful

8 hour flight - thirsty is an understatement

WCW: Taylor Swift

...well I never thought this would happen, but you have to admit- T.Swift killed it while performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London.   Taylor looked as though she too could be in Angel as she strutted down the runway in black lingeries with a sheer black lace overlay.  Oh hayyyyy, betch As the end of the year approaches, so does NYE meaning the time has come to start scoping out your look to ring in the New Year.  This year I'm starting to consider sheer black lace instead of the usual sequins.  Check out my picks below to get Taylor's look! Jarlo Noah Maxi Nightcap Clothing Dixie dress- ON SALE Lovers + Friends Catwalk dress Bardot Sienna Bralette  &  Skirt I saw T. Swift wearing black lingerie and lace, so I bought black lingerie and lace.

Pacific Escape: For Love & Lemons Spring 2015

Image
I feel like I've been waiting for the new For Love & Lemons lookbook to come out for an eternity.  Well at least since I've tried to decide which styles from the Fall and Holiday collection are lasting buys.    I mean, do I want to wait for the Antigua mini in a better color especially if my friend has already bought it in chartreause or claimed it in sapphire?? Bras can always be justified, but maybe not 6 of the same lacy one in different colors.  Priorities, people.   So here's what's on the way:  Summer Whites: Luna Maxi dress find it   HERE   Just when I told myself, "no more rompers"...  Red Hot: THIS. the NEW Antigua  sex.  Garden Isle lace dress find it   HERE New Additions:  ehh, they are really into this tropical (fruit) thing   this color...
