Ok guys, I love y’all. Really, I do. But if you had…let’s say…an English Accent? Welp?
I’d love you more.
And I truly, deeply madly deeply do love Helena, and am so thrilled she was willing to add some international flair to my lil bloggy blog, so give her a warm American welcome, won’t you?
1. I know spring has sprung in my neck of the woods when…Daffodils are everywhere, in the flower shops, in the markets and in the grocery shops, literally everywhere – and cheap! The days are longer, and you can really feel the difference. People start enjoying the parks and outdoors, no matter what the temperatures are, people will go out. Strawberry season is here, with cream and Wimbledon – marks the end of spring and the beginning of summer.
2. If I could go anywhere for Spring Break this year it would be…
Istanbul (or Costantinople as we call it). I have been wanting to visit Turkey for a very long time and springmust be a good time. I would love to stay at the incredible new W Hotel and visit the gorgeous Aghia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar and the luxurious Bosphorous.
3. My spring cleaning projects/resolutions are…
I bought a new sisal rug for the living area, it’s brighter and gives a nicer and warmer vibe to the whole room. I am also looking to hang some new art around the apartment, my boyfriend isn’t very keen because he things our landlord won’t be happy (but I know he doesn’t care). I did some closet cleaning too but not much as it’s still not really warm yet (will it ever?). A dream would be a big bright dressing room, like Alaina’s, maybe one day…
4. My must have for my Spring wardrobe will be…
A trench coat, it’s a must on London, the weather isn’t great, it’s still cold and sometimes rainy so a trench coat is the way to go. Spring is also when I start using more color in my daily outfits. Layering and stripes are 2 of my other big musts.
Flowers and fresh smelling candles all the way. And light linens for the bedroom.
When weather allows I love the feeling of widely open windows.
Thank you so much Bailey for having me here today, I’m honored. xoxo
I am honored to have YOU, Helena! And all of you clowns need to head over to check out the good blogness she is slangin all the way from Londontown!

What a fabulous post by the amazing Helena! We’re enjoying lovely spring weather here in NYC today and she captured the feeling perfectly
Well now I’m dying to go back to London. More than I usually am that is.
This might be my favorite yet! Mainly given the London-centric answers. Love the way Helena grouped all the images. Oh, AND because MY home is featured in it! Yay!
Fab post! I love Helena and her blog, obviously.
Helena – let’s head to Istanbul together, okay?
Oh thank you so much for this post! Am a London girl currently living in Venice Italy, and feeling very homesick at the moment. So thanks for giving me a piece of home!
