I’ve been teasing a “big announcement” for what seems like forever. At last, I can share the news.
Hint #1/ Good coffee in my future:
vespertine press | specialty coffee map
Hint #2/ these will no longer be a special treat:
st. john’s custard doughnuts
Hint #3/ I can finally take a class!
Hint #4/ Good shopping (and the chance to meet Ben Pentreath, Bridie Hall + Neal Whittington)
london map tray | bridie hall at home
geometry jotters | present & correct
Hint #5/ Gorgeous flower shops at every turn:
real flower company | spring trio
I could go on (Shake Shack! Balthazar! even J.Crew!) but I think you get the idea …. we’re moving to London! My husband is moving to his firm’s London office this spring, and my buddy and I will follow in June once school is out. I’m excited, and overwhelmed, and looking forward to sharing so many new adventures with you. Housing, shopping, travel + more. Stay tuned …. and please, share any advice or tips you might have in the comments.

Welcome to London! I might be biased as a born and bred Londoner, but its a lovely place to live. I hope you’ll be very happy here.
Wow! Congratulations! I lived in London from the age of 12 to 17 and it was so wonderful. Can’t wait to hear everything (and live vicariously). xox
How exciting Jane!! What a great adventure for you and whole family, and you’ll come back sporting an English accent and all manner of other cool things. I wish you the best in what is certainly a gigantic move, and with any luck (on my part!) we’ll see each other in London!
Wow that’s exciting news! London is such a wonderful place and I really look forward to seeing it through your eyes. Don’t forget to pack an umbrella!
So excited for you! London is my favorite city so I must admit to a sweeping sense of jealousy! I can’t wait to follow you through it all and see the great places that you encounter.
Wow, that IS exciting (and surprising!) news! So happy for you.
Will look forward to our “second” face-to-face get together being in London!
So very happy for you Jane!
Can’t wait for you to share London with us. I’m a big fan of your good taste and fantastic style, now I am looking forward to seeing London through your eyes.

I’m just catching up on blogs. Congrats to you and your family! Such an exciting adventure. Much luck to you all.
I couldn’t be happier for you and yours. For me on the other hand? I’m super sad. I was so looking forward to graduation this spring and a much freer schedule that will allow for lunch dates and long conversations. I miss you a lot. But this is HAPPY news. And I am HAPPY for you. I’ll only pout a little…
So exciting Jane!! My sister just moved back after being there (and raising four kids there) for 12 years. They lived in Fulham and loved it! And I lived visiting them:)
