Tees & Stripes

Black and Whites stripes are all the rage right now.  One problem I have heard many ladies encounter is how to wear them.  I got these striped jeans at "Bee Hive" a local boutique and thought they would go brilliantly with my Celine tee that my husband and I bought while visiting Paris last month.  Celine stores are a dime a dozen over there and full of everything beautiful!!!  I saw this tee and had to have it since it's so versatile and so incredibly soft!

I paired the jeans with this tee for the obvious reason that it too is black and white.  Then I put it with a bunch of gold and black jewelry and voila!  I have also seen these jeans with flowy white tops and pops of color.  A lot of girls are wearing them with neons, if you have some…go for it.  I am a pretty conservative dresser and neon is not a color that I have a plethora of in my wardrobe.  This outfit is about as edgy and "hip" as it gets for me!  Although, I have started to wear knuckle rings, which to me is super edgy!  It's important to step slightly outside of your comfort zone when pulling together the perfect ensemble.  However, if you are too uncomfortable, you won't carry yourself with the confidence it takes to pull it off and you will seem as awkward as you feel!  I don't ever leave the house until my gut tells me it's a good choice.  I'm a fashion weirdo!

Our Last Day in London..

Today was our last day in London.  Tomorrow is the 60 year anniversary of the Queens Coronation.  needless to say there is a lot of Pomp and Circumstance among us. We got to see the trooping of the colour (we were told it only happens once a year), we went to Hyde Park, Chelsea and Knightsbridge!  

We spent most of our day at Harrod's shopping.  I was in heaven, it was 5 entire floors of heaven.  Neat fact, they just opened the largest Christian Louboutin store in the world inside of Harrod's and they actually have sizes in stock!!!  

I introduced Chris to Zara Men today!  I think I've created a monster;)!  He is really excited that they have such great stuff at such great prices.  He fits in so perfectly here.  It's been fun watching him enjoy fashion the way that I do!

Today's Euro outfit was very similar to the other day,  different blazer, hat and necklace though!  It was another gorgeous day today.

Woke Up In London Yesterday....

One of my favorite songs is "Good Life" by OneRepublic.  The first phrase of the song is: "Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly"!  And it's pretty cool that I'm actually singing it and its true!  Our Hotel is even on Picadilly Street in London! Hence the reason behind the title of today's blog post!

All right,  on to the good bits... This morning my husband had an epiphany.  What's that you ask?!?  Well,  that I was right!!  I'd been telling him he needs to buy a raincoat for our trip.  Yesterday, the afternoon rain got him pretty good.  Not me,  I was wearing my Burberry Gaberdine trench.  Burberry doesn't mess around,  I was dry as a cotton ball! And once he saw that everyone who lives here owns one,  he was sold!

So the first place on our list today was the Burberry Flagship store (the largest in the world)!  I was in heaven,  however,  we were shopping for Chris.  He ended up buying himself a gorgeous navy blue get up!  Lets just say that he got excited when the afternoon rain hit today and he was sporting his new water resistant frock!

I felt a bit edgy this morning after sleeping off our arrival.  So I threw on my staple chambray shirt and popped on a fedora!  Below was my ensemble,  the picture was taken inside of the Burberry store just in case anyone wants a peek at its glory!

On a side note:  please forgive the photo quality of my blog post pictures while we are away.  I'm doing all of the posts through my phone!
