foodie break // exploring east london with eating london
When we first moved to London, people warned us that once we settled in, it wouldn’t be long before we were stuck in our neighborhood bubble. We’re more than familiar with this phenomenon. You fall into a rut, with the ease of your local bars & restaurants beating out any interest in leaving. If you live in West London, which we do, then forget exploring East London. Or really, any new neighborhoods. True to form, it happened pretty instantly. Each weekend rolled around, and we didn’t venture too far out of the way. We happily dedicated weekends to exploring our…

the lazy girls’ guide to the city of london
Like all good getaways, our #LTlondontown weekend extravaganza came and went all too soon. While the wino crossed an ocean for our mini-autumnal reunion, the romantic crossed town. This may not seem like a big deal! But we met back up in a part of London that she rarely explores: the City. Yes, it was just a weekend excursion. But we still feel confident that we crafted the perfect itinerary to present you with our own little guide ot the City of London. It surprises most people when they learn that London has two districts: the City of Westminster, and…

a day at the spa // so SPA at the sofitel london st. james
In these last 25 weeks, I’ve learned that the daily aches and pains of pregnancy are no joke. They might not be constant, and they might not start right away. But at some point during your nine months, you will experience leg cramps. Or foot cramps. Or hip pain that makes you want to curl up in a ball and sleep until the baby shows up. I’ve tried everything, but nothing has been nearly as indulgent or relaxing as my prenatal massage at So SPA at the Sofitel London St. James. Lucky for me, my hip pain arrived extra early.…

travel announcement! // back to london for #LTlondontown take 2
We’ve been hinting at it for weeks — mainly on Instagram — but in case you’ve been totally ignoring us (SHAME), we want to make it blog official. In exactly one week, the wino and her husband, Sean, will be wheels up. They’re flying back to London, for a group reunion that is LONG overdue! Why yes, it’s true, we’ve done London together not once, but TWICE before. It’s #LTlondontown time! AGAIN! With Ashley and Jeff now firmly planted in grand ole’ England (with lazy baby on the way!), it’s likely that we’ll be doing a lot of LT get-togethers…

sunday at the polo
Naturally, as Americans living in the UK, we’re doing our best to adapt to the little Britishisms that we find so silly. One of my personal favorites? The way Brits talk about sports. Er, sorry, sport. There’s no “sports” section in the London Evening Standard. It is strictly “sport” here. Weird, right? Not as weird as their inexplicable use of the word “the.” Enter: our recent Sunday at the Polo. (It just sounds f-ing weird.) But no matter, because we are here to blend in, and so blend in we shall! Sunday at the polo! We were invited by the…
