pre-christmas in scotland // to the highlands!
As is customary, about a week ago, the hubs and I were drinking wine and brainstorming. Unfortunately, we won’t be going back home for Christmas this year. Upon realizing that today is the hubs’s last day of work until 2015, we reached the obvious conclusion: We should go on an adventure! Because our revelation was too last minute to scrounge up a pug sitter, sticking to the UK was key, and because Scotland has been on the list for-LITERALLY-ever, it wasn’t a very long discussion. Pre-Christmas in Scotland? It’s settled. On a Scottish roadtrip we shall go. I’ve been feeling…

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…

style spotter: winter sun in lanzarote
They’re not kidding when they say the grass is always greener. Come August, we’re dying for Autumn. Come November, we can’t wait for Christmas. But come the last few weeks before Christmas? We’re wishing that January 1st magically marked the first day of summer instead of the first of the new year. We’ve been on a bit of an island kick these days, and it’s shown no signs of letting up. Recently, Barbados had us dreaming of lazy afternoons on white sandy beaches, turquoise water lapping at our toes. Now, we’ve got our sights on winter sun in Lanzarote. Yes,…

weekend warriors // 48 hours in oslo
onFirst of all, I’d like to apologize for the less-than-thrilling title. I stared at my screen for awhile, trying to come up with something cute. But the only thing I could think was, “Oslo, can you go?” … crickets, right? Exactly. Anyway! Let’s review how the hubs and I spent our 48 hours in Oslo. Our very first time in Norway AND Scandinavia as a whole! Crazytown. Where slept // We arrived in Oslo late on a Friday night — a little later than we expected, thanks to some delays at Heathrow — and headed straight for the The Thief.…
