Dear Lar, It’s so good to be back from Denver! Don’t get me wrong, I had a lot of fun, but the seven hour difference between Denver and Edinburgh was too much! I’m so glad I live on...
Dear Cath, You’re back from Denver! Woohoo! That means we can have skype chats again and you can rest your tired high-altituded body. While you were wedding-ing and hiking, Matt and I did our u...
Dear Cath, So you are in Denver right now. That’s an extra two time zones further away – harumph. You have the Rockies, I have the Pentland Hills… it’s just not right. I think...
Skype is really just a tease. It makes you feel like you’re staying in touch because you can see each other and hear each other, but sitting in front of a computer chatting is nothing like sitt...
So obviously, this being apart thing is not getting easier, even though it’s been 9 (NINE!) months. Skype kind of works — so much better than the days of telephone cards and spotty emails...
Isn’t this a fantastic castle? It’s so castley! It’s exactly the sort of thing I would draw when I was young and went through a castle-drawing phase: turret, crenelation, crenelatio...
The title sounds more complicated and hoity-toity than reality. Lar, being the sweet twin sister that she is, got me this dress at Spitalfields Market in London in February. So when people ask me abo...
Snowing in the morning, sunny and beautiful in early afternoon (and all of us scurry out and sit outside — in 50 degree weather), and then it hails again a few hours later. Whoever said Scotlan...
Last week Trina from Baby Shopaholic hosted a summer preview at Neiman Marcus. That’s her in those amazing pink shorts below: Neiman’s style guru, below left, told us all about the upcomi...
Why? Because you have the chance to go to the Atlanta Sassy City Chicks event for free! Here are the details: I’ll be out of town for the event (hence the jealousy), but the first 25 AsianCajun...
Sometimes Edinburgh looks like this: It is a beautiful city no matter the weather (good thing too), but when the sun comes out I swear it is sunnier and brighter than any place I’ve ever been. ...
Hello world! So sorry I’ve been away for over a week from blogging. Thank goodness for Lar and all her wonderful posts. Last week I did nothing but study for my final every day after work and b...
The Good: H&M Conscious Collection blouse • Thrifted Reiss coat The Not-So-Good: Madewell jacket and sknnies • AE belt • Hunter boots The Good: Mettle necklace • H&M Conscious Collection tank...
It has been a gorgeous and sunny (yet still nippy) Sunday here following a moody, broody, rainy Saturday. Just as a side note: I totally apologize to you guys who are bored by “this-is-what-I-d...
I moved from a city fond of its festivals (hello, Decatur!) to another city that equally loves to get its events party clothes on. Most people know about Edinburgh’s international Fringe Festiv...
All things bought pre-ethical-guilt-awakening: Primark peacoat • Madewell jeggings • Mango booties I realized my past couple of posts have been sooo wordy and thinky and angsty (ethical shopping! eat...
Are you guys ready for an epic battle of Leon vs. Leon’s? London vs. Decatur? Singular vs. possessive? Well then, you’re in for a treat! Actually, it’s not so much of a battle as it...
So when I started this hullabaloo about ethical dressing I had another twinge of doubt/guilt (along with the massive twinges of “I need to shop less and more conscientiously!”). Cath and ...
We’ve all been here: Maybe not this particular gate per say, but these hills by Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands have seen some famous menfolk. Harry and friends took the Hogwarts train thro...
Dah-da-da-daaaahhhh!!! Hear yee, hear yee! I’ve been waiting impatiently eagerly for the past two months to blog about this blogger style feature in the April issue of Atlanta Magazine. Check o...
Just a quick work-related post to get this week started. Unlike Lar who can wear sweatpants to work (so jealous!), I practically live in pencil skirts Monday through Friday. If I had more money, I...
Me and my fishy face still continue to muddle through my style/fashion dilemmas. Since writing this post and this post, I’ve been turning things over in my mind ad nauseum. And you guys have be...
This is so unfair to do to Edinburgh because this past week we’ve had glorious weather: birds are singing, the sun is shining (and warm!), daffodils are nodding their heads, and the wind has ab...
I remember when Stella McCartney first started collaborating with Adidas in 2004. I loved the line so much that I would online-window-shop the site at least once a week (I was in college at the time ...
I’ve always wanted to go to a market in London: inexpensive-ish clothes, food, books and odds and ends all thrown together sounds like heaven, doesn’t it? We spent most of our time around...
(Above: me stomping around close to our flat in Islington wearing my Eugenia Kim hat, old pleather jacket, canvas tote, Madewell jeans and Hunter Boots) Cath and I are nutty about London: the history...
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga. . . the Orient Express, the Trans Siberian, Harry Potter! Aren’t trains just so romantic? Maybe it’s just being a car-centric American, but train travel seems...
(Above: Matt showing you how to get rose-colored glasses). I’ve always wanted to visit India for Holi, the festival of Colours celebrated at the end of winter in India. Throwing colorful powder...
I thought it would take me weeks to recover from last Wednesday’s amazingly delicious and amazingly filling dinner. Turns out my stomach (and liver!) is more resistant than that. Troy and I hav...
Lar has been in London the past few days and I’m so jealous! I really shouldn’t complain though because I’ve had a pretty gosh darn good week. It was spring break so I didn’t ...
