Lazy Travelers
The Lazy Travelers are two transatlantic best friends who have mastered the art of exploring a new city. Though Ashley is based in London and Carolyn is in Philadelphia, we'll use any excuse to reunite around the world. We’re professional bar hoppers, pub crawlers, and food testers, and you’ll never see us zipping around, checking things off a list of “must-sees.”

#LTfriendsgiving // an alpine roadtrip with auto europe
Depending on where you live, you might be dealing with the same (disappointing) unseasonably warm weather. It’s definitely what we’re each facing in Philadelphia and London this holiday season, and it is BLEH. But while it looks like a white Christmas will take place only in our dreams this year, we can’t complain. We had a quick preview of a real winter wonderland during our alpine roadtrip for #LTfriendsgiving, and it was everything we wanted and more. We have lots to share from our long weekend in the French Alps, but we thought we’d start at the very beginning: with…

weekend warriors // christmas in the cotswolds
Back in July, I declared Christmas to be my first real pregnancy craving. For whatever reason, I was more than ready to unpack my coziest sweaters — er… cosiest jumpers, if I’m tryna fit in around here. I just wanted to fast forward to December, and I began planning everything. From where we would put our tree to the perfect wintertime countryside escapes. My grandest idea? Christmas in the Cotswolds. Because I don’t have a time machine, the hubs indulged me with the next best thing: planning beaucoup de festivities. We agreed on a date night in Hyde Park’s Winter…

style spotter: searching for winter sun in ibiza
During our lazy week on the Spanish coast this summer, you may remember that we considered taking the ferry from Dénia over to Ibiza for a night. When we say “considered” we really mean we watched the yachts pulling out of the harbor. Then we pouted over the lack of invitation from Leo to join in on the fun. But now that winter has rolled in, we found ourselves daydreaming. Wouldn’t a dose of winter sun in Ibiza do us all some good? We may not have made it to Ibiza in August, but now we’re jonesing for an escape…

weekend warriors // autumn in iceland, part two
Dark and early on our third morning in Iceland, the hubs and I awoke in our room at the Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel. After breakfast, we grabbed our bags, and hopped back in the car. We had done a quick survey of South Iceland, and now! It was time to meet my sister & her boyfriend at their post-flight visit to the Blue Lagoon. It was time to make our way west, and our little weekend experiencing autumn in Iceland continued on. By the time we reached Reykjavik, the sky had lightened considerably. Because it was October and the days…

style spotter: a travel-themed nursery with pottery barn kids
Mini life update! About a month ago, almost to the day, the hubs and I found ourselves in a situation that I officially wish on no other pregnant woman. We realized, with about 10 weeks to go before my expected due date, that we had to move. Among all my nesting dreams, it felt like my plans for a travel-themed nursery corner, quite suddenly, postponed. I won’t bore you with the details. But things moved fast, and we were fortunate to find an amazing new apartment absurdly quickly. Like, it was the vert first one we saw, on our very…
