Style Update: The Marks & Sparks Red Dress

I'm a country girl at heart and need reminding sometimes that London isn't exactly a barefoot and stroll sort of place. But then again, when the flowers are in bloom and the grass is green, I get a horrible urge to make a tree and "leaf" the office for a moment of nature worshipping in the closest city park. And in those times I sometimes do lose the shoes. Don't take my lead. This can, in fact, end in disaster. But, when you come and visit me in Carolina, feel free to go shoeless from start to finish.

Today, I bring you a lunchtime look at, perhaps one of my favorite London locations, The Royal Exchange.  I feel it's only appropriate to start with a little background here, as the Royal Exchange could fill an encyclopedia with its role in British history. The Royal Exchange begins its life in 1566, is officially opened by the Queen of England in 1571 and even sees a proclamation of a King on its hallowed steps in 1901. And that's just the Royal...

Style Update: She sells seashells

Ever have the moment when you spot a print and you know, no matter the cost, that the print in question needs to be a part of your life? You're looking at a prime example and a serious investment in a print that will reappear every summer, year after year, as one of my favorite pieces in my closet.  This is the Marina Rinaldi Seashell print for Spring Summer 2016 and, well, it's the stuff dreams are made of. There are matching trousers that set the world right, but for today I thought i'd kick off with featuring the piece de resistance - the silk shirt dress or jacket, depending on how you'd like to wear it. Take my breath away fabulous, right? Now, off to the seaside. Photos shot on location at The Metropolitan on Park Lane by Terence Webb. SaveSave ...
