Museum Style

Much of my time here in London has been spent touring museums and just wandering around this amazing city. The other day we stopped in at the Victoria and Albert Museum which is, conveniently enough, just around the corner from my apartment. Dressing for London can be tricky – even when the weather looks beautiful out the window, a torrential downpour can begin at a moment’s notice (we experienced this firsthand the other day). While here, I’ve made sure to layer, always have a rain jacket and/or umbrella with me at all times, and have tried to avoid looking like a tourist at all costs.

I was also fortunate enough to stop in at the Tateossian store on Kings the other day. Tateossian has incredible jewelry – this green bracelet being one of my absolute favorites! Be sure to check out their site if you’re interested in a truly iconic London jewelry brand.

Sail to Sable

I recently stumbled upon Sail to Sable via Adored by Alex, and I’ve become absolutely obsessed. My day-to-day style isn’t too preppy, but in the summer months I absolutely love a classic, preppy tunic – especially because you don’t have to add a bunch of accessories to make it feel special, they really speak for themselves. I received this bad boy from my Sail to Sable girls last week, and I can’t stop bragging about it to friends & family – it’s just too cute!

Shades of Summer

I’m really not too into bright colors, and I’m really not into mixing tons of brights and patterns. However, when I saw how well this Joie open-shoulder top went with my new Kate Spade crossbody + patterned Forever 21 shorts, I couldn’t resist. I hope this summer weather lasts forever because I’m loving dressing like I’m going to the beach every day!

J.Crew + Benji Frank

I’ve accumulated so many new pieces over this holiday season, and somehow I found myself stepping out in head to toe J.Crew today. It’s not surprising, however, because whenever I go for one of my preppier looks, J.Crew is always somehow involved. To liven things up a bit I threw on these new Benji Frank shades, which added the perfect classic touch I needed to take my outfit to the next level. I’ve truly never had a pair of sunglasses fit me like these do  – perfection!

J.Crew shirt (similar), sweater (on sale!), bag, pants (also on major sale!) and flats, Vintage Omega watch, Benji Frank sunglasses c/o (recently marked down!).
