Went live this afternoon (head to IGTV if you missed it!) to gush about - one of my favorite sparkling producers and the pick! Their sparkling wines are top-quality, sustainable + produced using the Traditional Method (just like their sister label, Taittinger Champagne in France). Theirs was the first vineyard I ever set foot on in (swipe to the last photo to see a snap from that visit!) The property is one of the most beautiful wineries I’ve ever visited in the world. I love how when you visit a vineyard, every time you drink from that producer you’re instantly transported back to that moment— one small example of why wine + travel play so nicely together! If you haven’t already, head to site + register for the class he’s teaching on + ... it’s going to be a good one! 🥂

Spent another cozy weekend in the (a region comprised of quaint villages + charming countryside). Planning a trip to London + looking to add some relaxation into the mix? This area is just a couple hours outside the city and makes for a great addition to balance out the chaos of the big smoke. Check out my U.K. Countryside highlight on stories, or head to my “A weekend in the Cotswolds” guide on my blog to read more about this charming part of England.

Ice skating at the is one of my favorite things to do in at Christmas! This year we celebrated the opening of the season at the rink with (swipe right for a photo to see how last years tree compares to this one). Head to the travel guides section of my site to read my “London at Christmas” guide for a full list of my favorite things to do in the city this time of year🎄

Clients frequently ask me “When is the best time of year to visit ?” There are so many great things about every season, but I think right now, when everything starts becoming exceptionally festive, probably is my very favorite. ❤️ When is your favorite time of year here in London?

22/11/2019

Usually can’t enjoy much peace + quiet at (easily one of the most Instagram famous places in - it’s always packed!) So when I was in the neighborhood and it happened to be almost empty, impromptu cake + tea was in order🍰

21/11/2019

This little corner is one of my favorite in all of . So much charm, great shopping + tasty food all in one spot! Email me to plan your full itinerary for London (or any other city!) Outfit c/o http://liketk.it/2HaHm .it

PSA: This time of year can feel overwhelming. Don’t forget to pause + appreciate all the lovely little things life offers us along the way🌸❤️

I’ve seen a lot of places, but this is still my favorite one in the world🖤

17/11/2019

That’s a wrap from Italy! I’ve made so many incredible memories in this beautiful county over the past few months (the most special easily being this first trip!) I’ll be back again soon, but until then: London is calling❤️

I’m almost always in neutrals (when you live out of a suitcase, you need pieces you can wear over and over and over again). I’ve been pleasantly surprised how versatile this leopard print skirt has been over the past few months (you can dress it up with loafers like I did here, or make it more casual with trainers and a leather jacket). It’s been fun to have a little pop of something more interesting in my wardrobe instead of just all black everything.🐆 Do any of my fellow frequent travelers have any other pieces they’ve found to be surprisingly versatile? http://liketk.it/2GVOv .it

14/11/2019

The Ponte Vecchio bridge (pictures behind me) is one of the most iconic landmarks in . This “Old Bridge” (as it translates in Italian) was built in 1345 as the first bridge over the Arno River + was used as a system of defense. Today, it’s lined with goldsmiths’ shops on both sides and is one of the top tourist traps in Florence (but still a must to pay a visit!)

Come hang out with me tomorrow (14th Nov. from 6:30-8:30pm) at in Notting Hill! This sustainable + chic Parisian brand has been a long time favorite of mine and I’m thrilled to be partnering with them to co-host this event in their beautiful store. If you live in London, grab a friend + pop by for drinks, discounts, socializing + a surprise for everyone who attends. Hope to see you all there! ❤️

I love in November. It’s such a magical city, but it’s also not very big so it can feel overcrowded quickly! While you’ll still want to book in advance to climb to the top of the Duomo or to see the David, you’ll be able to enjoy strolling the streets a lot more during the shoulder season than if you go in the middle of summer with the rest of the tourists. Do you have a favorite month to visit popular destinations?

Old vines. New friends. Best week ever❤️🇮🇹🍷
@ Agriturismo Fonte de' Medici

03/11/2019

I’ve been excited about this week for a long time but never expected to make 28 new legit friends. PI KAPPA PASTA 4EVER!!!

02/11/2019

We came. We saw. We truffled! Truffle hunting at was SO much fun - and this amazing group of women makes everything we do even better. We’re a proper sorority over here...
@ Tenuta Torciano

Happy Halloween from Tuscany, witches🧙🏽‍♀️Celebrating with Chianti + outlets today, but the REAL party starts tomorrow when the rest of our crew arrives. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST WEEK EVER!!!
@ Tuscany, Italy

30/10/2019

Happy All Hallows’ Eve (eve) to all you little pumpkins🎃 Tomorrow will be a pretty unconventional for me as I head to Tuscany to set up... but I’m pretty pumped to trade candy + costumes for Chianti this year. Atlas Adventures kicks off in just TWO👏🏼 DAYS👏🏼!!!! 😀

29/10/2019

And you thought mums + pumpkins were just something basic girls in America decorated with... I see you, !

Have I mentioned that the foliage in Eastern Europe is on point this time of year yet? I can’t remember 🙃🍁🍂 While admiring the autumn colors is wonderful, what I‘ve really loved about these trips is going to places that are so historic and culturally diverse. Eating pierogi in Poland where WWII bombs went off, or touring the castle in Romania that inspired Bram Stoker to write “Dracula” were both such memorable experiences on their own (the leaves are just icing on the cake!) Already scheming where I’ll go next year.... Email me if you’re interested in having me help you plan your own autumnal Eastern European adventure!

26/10/2019

Golden hour in golden ✨🍁🍂 Loved strolling through Ogród Saski - a beautiful park right in the city center. Bring a book on a nice day + sit by the fountain to read / people watch.

25/10/2019

2 things I love: alliteration + autumn in Eastern Europe... which means this caption shall be “A pretty pyramid of pumpkins in picture-perfect ” 🤓

Chasing 🍁🍂 in Eastern Europe is becoming my new tradition (the region is 🤩 this time of year!) Last year was Transylvania/Romania, this year was ... where should I go next year?!

23/10/2019

is the capital + largest city of . People used to call it the “Paris of the north” and was known to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world...before it was bombed heavily in WWII. It was almost left that way, but has since been rebuilt (even some historic buildings were reconstructed from old paintings!) There was SO much history here + fascinating culture (these photographs are from the old town but a lot of the other buildings are communist style blockades— so much variety!)

@ Warsaw, Poland

20/10/2019

Hagia Sofia is a former Greek Orthodox Christian church, turned Ottoman imperial Mosque. Directly across from the Blue Mosque, this area is easily one of the most touristic in , but full of history + beautiful architecture. We opted to see the outside of these but skip the tours (went inside Süleymaniye instead- it was way less crowded + still beautiful!) PRO TIP: keep a scarf in your purse and wear shoes you’re comfortable leaving outside, as proper etiquette for women is to cover your head + remove your shoes before entering. 🇹🇷

19/10/2019

Calling a former Ottoman Palace “home” for a few nights was a first for me, but I’d do it again + again (and again...) was the epitome of luxury + hospitality — making for the ideal place to stay while visiting . Want to plan a trip of your own here? Contact me + we’ll make it happen! 🇹🇷 [Outfit details c/o

Standing in Europe... with Asia behind me! The Bosphorus connects these two continents (which has made this bridge one of the most iconic spots in ). Loved strolling to Ortaköy to soak up these views, visit the beautiful mosque behind me + eating some halloumi everywhere I could find it.🤤🇹🇷

17/10/2019

I S T A N B U L🇹🇷 I’ve wanted to come here for YEARS and had so many spots bookmarked. I kept reading about this “charming rooftop that’s great for watching the sunset” so knew I had to come. Little did I know, there would be a 45 minute wait for a photo (at the main viewpoint- I was perfectly fine with this “second best” spot), a man throwing raw meat in the air to attract the birds (which meant HUNDREDS of sea gulls hovering above you like some horror film... and so much bird mess🤢). It was quite literally, an absolute sh*t show... but also hilarious to witness. Got out of there as fast as I could but at least I got a photo to remember the chaos. If you decide to go to Kubbe Istanbul, consider yourself warned🤣

Cheers, 2018! It's easy to be thankful for the moments that were fun highlights we love sharing with others… but don't forget about the moments that happened in-between this past year when life was really hard. I'm so grateful for the ways they taught me to become a more wise, authentic, strong and brave person than I was 365 days ago. Here's to using what we've learned to make 2019 even better. Happy New Year, friends! xx
