Touring Bath

Jacket: Nordstrom; Sweatshirt: J Crew; T-Shirt and Pants: GAP; Ballet Flats: J Crew

A beautiful day in Bath for seeing some familiar sights with my brother.  Also another day where rain made layers the only option. 

Necklace: Baubble Bar

I really hate wet hair, so this updo kept my hair off my neck.  Just segment your hair, twist, and pin with bobby pins.

A Day at an English Country Fair

We ventured out the other day to an authentic British farm fair, the Bath and West Farm Show.  The animals, food, and crafts were amazing. 

Traditional English Strawberries and Cream

Lobster Crisps

There were lots of good ciders to taste and buy

I had to test drive a Made in Britain Range Rover

Camden Crescent in PJs

Sweater: H and M; Dress: Target; Shoes: Zara; Watch: Nike; Necklace: J Crew; Purse: Louis Vuitton

My first day in Bath was a great one with beautiful weather (a rare treat!).  This street (Camden Crescent) is one of my favorite in Bath because of the beautiful buildings and because it is off the beaten track for tourists.  Oh, and one of these houses belongs to Manolo Blahnik! 

After a long day of traveling, I felt like wearing an outfit that most resembled PJs.  This t-shirt maxi dress and sweater (sorry Mom!) did the trick. 

 I like tying a knot in a maxi dress to add some visual interest and show off shoes. 

 This sporty Nike watch is the only one I brought. 

 My photographer for the day, my brother Christopher.  Sorry for the bad angle (selfie). 

 This house covered in vines is Manolo Blahnik's pied-a-terre in Bath. 

Off to Blenheim Palace today (have wanted to go for years).

Days in the English Countryside

Burghley House: Lincolnshire

Prior Park: Outside Bath, my brother's school (yes, really)

These English Country estate houses make it clear to me why English literature and current shows like Downton Abbey can revolve around the duty families feel to their country estates.
