Home From London!

I got back from London this past Friday and now that I seem to have my jet lag in check (for the most part), I'm finally getting back to the blog. I had an absolute blast! It was so fun to experience my favorite city with one of my favorite friends. We easily ate our weight in food, enjoyed some great wine and beer, took in the beautiful sights, scored some amazing shopping finds, saw Wicked (why did it take me so long to see this? I'm convinced I need to see it at least 27 more times), walked 1,237 miles, visited Olympic Park (which was kind of a bust), and squeezed in a day trip to Cambridge to see a good family friend.

Exhausting and amazing.

Regular blogging will commence soon with some Easter tutorials and a super cute guest for What He Wore: Boy Style.

London Bound

My best friend and I are leaving for a trip to London in three weeks.

Leslie and I adore London and have always talked about taking a girls trip there together. It was during the Royal Wedding (maybe it was the hats?) this past year when we called each other up and decided to make it happen.

I've been to London several times but haven't been back since we started our family five years ago. We've both seen the touristy stuff and want to get more of an insiders/off the beaten path view of London this time.

We will only be there for five days (staying in Kensington) and aside from a mandatory visit to the Tate Modern and the theater, we don't have any set in stone plans. So I'm appealing to any of you who are lucky enough to be familiar with my favorite place ever...what are your must sees/dos in London? Fabulous restaurants? Pubs? Markets? Places to have a drink? Favorite place to shop or window shop? Parks? Galleries?

I would be forever grateful for any of your tips and will have a pint (or two) in your honor while there.
