SEE: ISABELLA BLOW FASHION GALORE! EXHIBIT

A LIFE LIVED THROUGH CLOTHES:

The Isabella Blow Fashion Galore! exhibit was raw, dark and edgy. The curator and designers definitely captured her life and personality within the display. Isabella was the original Lady Gaga-- totally avant-garde. She lived a roller coaster of a life until she committed suicide at the age of 48. Her death devastated the fashion community. She launched the careers of many artists including Alexander McQueen, Philip Treacy and so many more... such a sad end to such a talented woman.

The exhibit was amazing. I had goosebumps the entire time I was in there and I left feeling totally inspired. I will definitely go back before it leaves early March. insane. insane. insane.

UGH.

Under Construction. This is frustrating..

SIR WINSTON

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with my dog...

I mean, come on, look at that face! Yes. I am the mama of a 230 lbs beautiful English Mastiff and he is the apple of my eye! I am T-Minus 13 days from being reunited with my beloved fur child. And no, I am not using the expression child loosely. 

I can't wait to get my hands on him and give him lots of hugs and kisses.

I imagine our reunion will look a lot like this. aka pure joy :)

Here are a few of my favorite Winston pictures from over the years.

WEEK TEN

We've officially been in London for 10 weeks. WHAT?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? This week consisted of us getting back into the swing of things since our Scotland vacation. I'm actually surprised at how much I accomplished this week--found our Christmas tree (and decorated it), visited Harry Potter Platform 9 3/4, tackled the British Museum, enjoyed a date night with J on Friday, and another with friends on Saturday. We went to a "quote-along" showing of Elf, which was AMAZING and after the show we went to Canitina Laredo. The best thing about Cantina was the fact that it had queso-- my mind was basically blown! It was a pretty active week, if I say so myself! Now, we are catching up on work and cleaning the flat, just relaxing like we always do on Sundays!

SIX MONTHS

Dear James,

I can't believe how fast these past six months have flown by. It seems like just yesterday we were moving into the White Water Falls apartment, testing the waters and now look at us, living in London, married for six months. It's amazing how far we've come in 7 years. I've experienced so many of my happiest memories with you and I can't wait to see where our lives take us from here. I inscribed "team starnes" on your wedding band for a reason. We are a team. I am yours and you are mine and I could not imagine spending my life with anyone else. Cheers to the next six months! I love you!

xoxo,
