My good friend Melissa came to visit last month, and after the awesome experience we had last year at afternoon tea, we wanted to try a new place. We went to Shakespeare’s Corner Shoppe, which was lovely and very good (I especially loved the Welsh rarebit and the meringues with raspberry), but our service […]
Aloha, y’all! I’ve been on vacation for about two weeks now — first at home, hanging with my friend who came to visit, and then in Maui — and while I didn’t really mean to take a two-week blogging break, it just kind of happened. Sorry about that! The good news is that I’ve been […]
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that Toby and I are basically obsessed with Disneyland, and go there constantly. We also tend to eat quite a lot while we’re there. So today, I wanted to share some of our favorites with you, in case you’re hitting the park and didn’t bring your […]
I first happened upon a Madewell store when we moved to Annapolis in 2009. The brand was born in 1937, but closed in the 80s and was bought, overhauled and reintroduced by J.Crew in 2006. Annapolis was one of their first stores. Their focus is on denim — mainly skinny and super skinny jeans, lately […]
When I was in elementary school (and lived in the Valley of the Sun), my dad had this great idea: We were going to hike a different mountain every weekend. I hated it. So, so much. I think I actually complained enough that we stopped after a few weeks, because who wants to listen to […]
Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that Toby and I went to Disneyland last weekend. We’re a little obsessed. We had been wanting to go for a weekend since I got back from Afghanistan, but rain […]
I didn’t really take any “outfit photos” in Afghanistan, because, well… that would have been kinda weird. I also didn’t bring any actual cute outfits. But, because this is at least partially a fashion blog, I thought I should show you at least a little of what I wore. I got some not-too-tight jeans at […]
Hey y’all! I’m finally back in California, and while I’m still pretty jet lagged, I wanted to share some of my photos with you! Today, I thought I’d share some of my food photos from Afghanistan, since we like to talk about food here. First, I need to talk about the British chow hall at […]
***Hi guys, my name is Bri and you can usually find me over at SanBriego.com. I’m happy to share a couple of guest posts with you this month while the lovely Jen is off being a rockstar in Afghanistan!!*** I don’t remember why I signed up for my first half marathon. I think I was […]
What do you wear when you’re going on an overnight flight from warm San Diego to not-so-warm London? -> I decided to go with cashmere, black jeans and trainers (as the Brits call them). And, of course, a giant bag to carry all my stuff! I brought several books with me (I’m halfway through […]
