As complete looks, Marni’s styling can trend too maximal for me, but the components are reliable + wearable. Not to mention the gorgeous fabrics. See the complete show at Style.com.

Raf Simons certainly knows how to make romantic fashion that appeals to the minimalist in me. His spring couture show for Christian Dior was a delight to look at (and dream). See the complete collection at Style.com.

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.
