Happy Wednesday from London, friends! We arrived yesterday, and explored several hours before losing the battle to jet lag. It’s been years since we visited this city, and it’s even more charming and vibrant than I remember. We’re embarking our ship, the Royal Princess, today for a cruise of the British Isles! We’ll be making stops along the UK, Ireland, Scotland, and finishing up in Paris! I’d love your tips and suggestions for any of these places.
Today on the blog, I’m excited to share some Work to Weekend inspiration for you, featuring a few of my closet staple pieces.
Floral Blouse (40% off!) | Pencil Skirt | Heels | Earrings | Cuff | Ring Set | Sunglasses
This stretchy pencil skirt is my go-to for a professional look, it’s both comfortable and insanely flattering. It molds to my curves, but is thick enough to conceal any lumps and bumps. I like to wear it higher on my waist with a tucked-in top for a leg-lengthening effect. (Seen here, too.)
This floral blouse is gorgeous, and so versatile. I’m wearing it alone now, and will layer it under jackets and cardigans later. The floral is so fresh, but the black makes it perfect for year-round wear. And bonus, it’s on sale!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a 0P skirt and XS blouse.
I’ve had these pumps for years, and just adore their classic shape and comfortable fit. The heel is just right for a flattering fit, but totally manageable for being on your feet all day.
This blouse is too pretty to reserve for just the office, so I paired it with jeans and booties for a fun night out style. I love the contrast of the feminine top paired with distressed jeans…and of course a pop of leopard is always a good idea!
Floral Blouse | Distressed Jeans (33% off!) | Peep Toe Bootie | Similar Sunglasses | Hoop Earrings | Leopard Clutch
I already know these will be my most-worn distressed jeans of the season…the fit is so good (plus, they’re on sale!)! I love the lighter wash and small touches of distressing, plus the length is perfect for booties and heels. (These peep-toe booties are the perfect transitional shoe, and easily dressed up or down.)
Fit Tip: They are true to size, I’m wearing a 26.
Distressed Jeans (on sale!) | Peep Toe Bootie | Cuff | Ring Set
The ring set is one of my favorite finds lately…it’s a whole set of rings for a great price, and I love stacking and pairing them in different combinations on multiple fingers.
Leopard Clutch | Cuff | Ring Set
Floral Blouse (on sale!) | Similar Sunglasses | Hoop Earrings
Floral Blouse | Distressed Jeans | Peep Toe Bootie | Similar Sunglasses | Hoop Earrings | Leopard Clutch | Cuff | Ring Set
Okay, it’s back to the British Isles for me…first stop, the Channel Islands! We port in Guernsey, and then ferry to the tiny island of Sark which has no cars! I’ll share everything on the blog, but you can catch it in real-time on my Instagram Stories.

I love the first look! I used to be super into florals but now, I only wear dark-coloured florals… exactly like the top you’re wearing! Super chic. 🙂

In Scotland-Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oban, St. Andrew’s, Isle of Skye, Isle of Mull, as must!
We were in Ireland last year! Had a blast! Not sure which port you will be at. Either coast is fun with GOT filmed along the Northern coast. Dublin was a favorite!! Have fun. Just filled my Nordstrom shopping cart! laura in Denver
That black floral is gorgeous!!!
I’m from Northern Ireland, currently living in Houston. Happy to give you any tips on what to see. It’s a beautiful place and the people very friendly.
I hope while in Scotland you’ll get to visit Balmoral. So beautiful. And all the coastlines. Just traveling by train gives you such wonderful scenery.
Oh, I can’t wait to follow along on your travels! And then to read all about what you did, where you ate, etc. I’m headed to London on September 14th and then we take the train over to Paris on September 19th!
