I am sorry for being complete crap about writing posts lately. I am leaving London to go back stateside for a month or so and I have been busy sorting myself out. I cannot wait to get home and see my family especially for the 4th of July activities!! Every year since I was wee little girl my family and I go to our lake house in Connecticut for 4th of July. I have not done that in 4-5 years now - since all my time was then spent traveling to the UK to be with Neal.
BBQ’s……oh how I love BBQ’s! There is nothing better then grilling some burgers, hot dogs, steak, chicken……don’t you think? Then at the end of the night we break out the marshmallows and make smores while the BBQ is still hot.
Our friends The Blacks from Boston always come down. They are my parents friends who they have known for 30 some odd years and their 3 children that I pretty much grew up with - well mostly spending summers with (who are all around my age might I add, I don’t want them to have a go at me for calling them children!) Sadly I just received the news that none of ‘children’ will be coming this year and it is the ‘adults’ and I and hopefully my twin brother…bummer. That is the sad thing, once we all went off to college, then graduated, then got real jobs we don’t see each other that often. Hopefully next year! Anyway, I have great memories of playing games (they know how much I love my old school Barbie: Queen of the Prom Board Game with Poindexter, and if you have no idea what I am talking about I suggest you ladies look it up!) going boating, watching fireworks on the boat in the middle of the lake with about one hundred other boats, tubing, water skiing, playing hide and seek in the dark and getting spider bites on my knees, trivial pursuit, great food…oh the list could go on and on!
But as you can tell, I am very excited to head back. I have had such a great time here in London being with Neal and it is unfortunate that he cannot come back with me this time, but in about 7-9 months he will be stateside with me and we will be married! He has no idea what he is missing when I go home, but I tease him all the time about it. He has so much to look forward to and I can’t wait to take him home with me permanently.
Britt here… Just wanted to let you know that we are working on changing the layout of the website. Trying to create something less high-maintenance so I can post more often. A lot has happened recently and I can’t wait to share my stories and photos with you!

Agent Provocateur (as most of us already know) is a very well known lingerie brand based in the UK. It was created by Joseph Corré who is the son of British designer Vivienne Westwood. The brand is wildly popular with celebrities such as Christina Aguilera and Carmen Electra just to name a few.
Agent Provocateur lingerie can be extremely costly so if you cannot afford to purchase a bra for $60-120 you can at least have some fun visiting their website which I tend to visit frequently. It is an interactive and steamy website with lots of videos, ecards, and pictures. You can sign up for free to receive their newsletter and access VIP sections of the site. The company is famous for their sexy videos and advertisements featuring Kate Moss. Kylie Minogue was featured in a commercial for AP which ended up being banned from TV. It’s not banned on this website so here it is!
I think the hair and makeup for Alberta Ferretti’s Fall 2008 collection is gorgeous. The look is very simple and is something that you can do at home. The skin is fresh and pale. Use a foundation that matches your skin tone and apply a cream blush in a light pink tone to your cheekbones. Now for the eyes: all you need is a good eyeliner (liquid or pencil) and a full volume mascara.
Try these products:
Chanel Le Crayon Kohl in Noir & Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel
As for the blush…use the product that I swear by and wrote about last week: NARS Multiple stick in the color of your choice depending on your skin tone.
Hair: the first step is to straighten your hair. For those of you with fringe (bangs) side part your hair and use a bobby pin to secure. If you don’t have fringe, don’t worry! You can still part a piece of your hair and pin it to the side. How simple is that?!
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his first lady Carla Bruni just arrived in Windsor for their two day visit to the UK. Carla arrived looking beautiful and very French in a grey hat and suit. Upon their arrival the couple were greeted by the Queen and Prince Philip and taken by horse drawn carriage (naturally) to Windsor Castle. They are visiting the UK in order to create better relations between Britain and France. President Sarkozy Mr wants the UK and France to work “hand in glove” especially on issues such as the environment and immigration.
Carla Bruni is starting to act the part of being first lady. She is very much resembling Jackie Kennedy, which is exactly what I would do if I married a President, Prince, or King!
