happy hen: the wino wedding season is here!
We started this blog a little over three years ago now, and there’s no question: our lives have changed dramatically during this time. We’ve changed cities, we’ve changed jobs, we’ve changed cities again. We’ve changed our hair, we’ve changed direction, we’ve gotten overwhelmed, and we’ve gotten back on track. The romantic abandoned ship and became an expat. The wino fell in love, got engaged, and gets married in 5 days. That’s right: the wino wedding season is HERE! That is crazytown, and in all the best ways. Luckily for us, the wino’s other half swooped in and fit right into…

#LTselects: gordon’s wine bar
With just over two weeks to go until the wino becomes mrs. the wino, we’ve been spending most of our time here at LT headquarters talking on gchat about what’s still on her to do list, everything she’ll eat on her honeymoon, and how much champagne we’re going to drink (TOGETHER! REUNITED!) in about 13 days and counting. This should come as no surprise. Wine & champagne is at the heart of every great celebration. When we were together in London in November, a trip to the city’s oldest wine bar, Gordon’s Wine Bar, was very obviously in order. Spoiler…

foodie break: festive afternoon tea at the conrad london st. james
With less than ten days until Christmas and the winners of our #LTholidays giveaway announced, it’s safe to say we’re fully immersed in the holiday spirit. As we’re living in new cities this year, we can’t wait to explore how each celebrates the season! Yes, the tried and true holiday attractions are near and dear to our hearts. People love Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park! The Light Show in Philadelphia’s Wanamaker Building is a classic for a reason! But the crowd-hating, semi-claustrophobic versions of ourselves also appreciate a quieter celebration, away from all the hustle and bustle. Enter: Festive…

happy friendsgiving!
Happy, happy Friendsgiving, one and all! And, like, happy Thanksgiving if you prefer to be more offish. As we write this, the wino and her other half are en route. Yes, never you fear. They definitely made it out of the states, despite the snowstorm nonsense. The romantic, meanwhile, is preparing in Henley avec Mr & Mrs. O Around the World… who may or may not have forgotten to pick up the turkey. But! All is resolved. Now, dear old Burt the Bird is basting in wine. This very obviously means we’ll all get along just fine. Two years ago,…

five lessons for an american expat in london, as told in MIC gifs
Well, hi! Hello. In case you haven’t noticed (and, let’s be honest, you probably haven’t), posting has been a bit light around LTHQ. This is all thanks to big changes for both the wino and myself. Namely: I am fully adjusting to life as an American expat in London. This obviously doesn’t mean that things have been light behind the scenes. Things have been ca-razy behind the scenes. I won’t bore you with the details, but basically, we both moved at almost the same exact time, and it’s been a reeeaaaal process. Throw in the wino’s wedding planning and a…
