Windsor Castle

Hello there! I suppose it's been approximately a week since my last post, but please forgive me - I've been out and about nonstop. All of this seems to have left me susceptible to a cold, which I'll have to fight my way through by Friday, aka the start of London Fashion Week.

This past weekend I went on a home stay about an hour out of the city. It was delightful. The family was so sweet and I felt very welcome in their home. On Saturday, I took a trip up to Windsor Castle. What a sight! It's everything you'd imagine a castle to be. I found myself particularly enthralled with the collection of art - paintings, photographs, and other relics. I cannot even fathom the construction and design process of buildings so elaborate and extravagant. It's quite breathtaking.

It's definitely a required visit in the UK, in my opinion.

I hope all is well with you.

Cape May odds & ends




The aesthetic of Cape May is a far cry from what one would imagine the "Jersey Shore" to be... although my brother and I jokingly spotted a "guido convention" while dining at a beachfront restaurant.

The colorful Victorian houses are so dreamy - I imagine the interiors are decorated in a similar fashion, but I love to picture modern decor inside any of these. Most of these were built in the late 1800's and are historic landmarks. I'm not sure how many of those pictured are, but it seems that almost every house in Cape May is a bed and breakfast.






I fell in love with the house pictured directly above.

Below: two images of Sunset Beach taken before my camera's battery died, two images of me being a goofball at the beach. Apparently, I have a thing for smirking while tilting my head to the side.
