Happy Wednesday!  This week has been a whirlwind.  From getting back from New York on Monday, to moving forward on house renovations and all the details that go into that, we haven’t slowed down.  Jean is getting ready to renovate her kitchen, so she has been working hard on finding new granite, appliances, faucets, etc!  Is this something you would like to see more of on the blog?  The renovations are not major ie: no knocking down walls, but more of an update.  We plan to show some of the process through Instagram and Snapchat, but curious as to if you would like to read more about it on the blog…

In between all of that, we found some great steals and deals for you this week!

floral shirtdress

floral shirtdress, fall transitional wear, how to transition to fall fashion, how to wear fall fashion nowSunday in New York was just a perfect day.  The weather was fall-like, the skies were blue and the temperature felt just right.  After landing back in Dallas yesterday, we were greeted with warmer weather, but nothing compared to how hot it had been before we left.  And after those few nice days in New York, fall cannot get here soon enough!

Shirtdresses have been a longtime favorite thing for us to wear any season, but we are especially loving them right now for fall.  In the past, shirtdresses seemed to be more utilitarian or masculine, but there is nothing utilitarian or masculine about this floral shirtdress.  Plus, we are loving the updated length and pretty much anything midi right now.  Another detail of a shirtdress is the belt.  It helps to accentuate any waist line, but since I am 22 (almost 23) weeks pregnant, I love how it helps show off my baby bump!  When it gets a little cooler we think a long cardigan, like this one, will look great over it.

If you like a more utilitarian look, this shirt dress is adorable and under $100, or if you love the midi length, this plaid shirt dress is a steal at $98.

afternoon tea in london

afternoon tea in London, teatime tradition, traditional afternoon tea, London traditionToday is our last day in New York and we are bummed to be leaving this city already.  We originally didn’t plan on going to Fashion Week this year, but decided on a whim to book a quick weekend trip.  And we are so glad we did!  As usual, there is never enough time in New York and we are hoping to make a trip back when there are no fashion week festivities and truly enjoy the city!

Let’s rewind a few weeks to our trip to London.  While we were there, we had the opportunity to enjoy afternoon tea at Four Seasons London.  Afternoon tea is a big “to do” in London.  It’s a time to dress up, meet with friends and catch up over tea, finger sandwiches, scones and bubbly.  Afternoon tea typically starts at 3:00 pm and goes however long you like.  Being that this was our first full day in London, we stopped by New Bond Street (a little retail therapy really helps with jet lag), and then made our way to Four Season London Park Lane.  It was a cold and rainy day, so we did our best to look put together for afternoon tea.  A floral dress with a leather jacket over it was perfect, and thankfully we had Hunter Boots to change into for the rainy commute home.

We tried four different teas, two herbal, one darjelinng and one oolong.  Each tea was incredible.  The food was what you would expect from Four Seasons… absolutely delicious with incredible attention to detail.  The miniature scones were the best we’ve ever had!  Each finger sandwich had a great combination of flavors and our favorite was the cranberry and chicken salad.  As far as desserts go, the presentation (as you can see) was hard to beat, and somehow each dessert was tastier than the previous one.  And yes, we tried one of each!
