The highlight of this week was a few days ago when we went to the Playhouse Theatre to see “Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” starring Tamsin Greig, thanks to my friend Danny (who is a man of many connections). Really enjoyed it! I’m hoping to head down to see the Femme Fierce show on International Women’s Day this Sunday where 150 female artists will be showing off their street art talents in the Leake Street Tunnel (and have a catch up with my buddy Stu who writes Inspiring City). It’s supposed to be a beautiful warm and sunny weekend in London (according to the usually unreliable iPhone weather app)!
What are you up to this weekend?

The Femme Fierce show sounds great and your Oakley is such a gem! Btw: I am totally getting that chambray shirt-dress as well…It will be perfect for spring! Have a jolly good weekend, love. xo
Yea, I missed the Femme Fierce show last year so this will be my first. I love that they combine art and International Women’s Day into an event like this. Have a lovely weekend! I’m over to check out your link round up in a bit. xo
The smell of rain is also one of my favorite scents! Fascinating about the science behind it. Love that chambray dress as well. Have a wonderful weekend, Steph! I’m laying low and relaxing. Last weekend was busy doing flowers for a wedding, so I’m looking forward to sleeping in, maybe getting brunch and it is finally supposed to get warm (ish) in Chicago.
Everyone loves the chambray dress 🙂 Hope you have a lovely weekend too. Laying low and relaxing sounds good to me. As does brunch! Enjoy the warm (ish) days ahead. xo
