British Things to Do in (And Around) LA
This guide was a long time coming, and I’m sorry I drew it out longer than the War of the Roses! Dedicated readers know all too well that I’m an anglophile, something I haven’t been able to shake since living in London for an entire year (granted I had an obsession with all things British…

Kristin in Kensington II: A Fashionable Guide to South Kensington, London
I recall Part I of this saga quite fondly: it was two years ago when I embarked on my year abroad—my first time in London in my entire life. Little did I know the impression this city would leave on me. It drew me in with its marriage of old and new: its endless museums…
