Postcards From London

It's happened again… I’ve fallen in love with another city - London.  Considering my deep affection for travel, this was actually my first time in this inspiring city. As I write this, I’m sitting in my hotel room, drinking a cup of steaming hot black tea, staring out of the huge window into the Westminster district toward Big Ben and the Thames River. Yes, I’m feeling very fortunate at this moment and can’t help but feel immersed in this incredible and vibrant city.

This past week has been packed with a whirlwind of events mixing both business and pleasure.  It is a place that has it all - history and the modern vibe where culture, fashion, food and people come to life.

Here is a sneak peek of what I’ve been up to this past week…

London calling, yeah, I was there, too…

An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!

After all this, won't you give me a smile? -The Clash

Keeping It Classy With The Cambridge Satchel

The Cambridge Satchel. Doesn’t it have a nice ring to it? I came across this stunning leather number a few months ago when one of our Ceja Vineyards wine club members strolled into the tasting room sporting a beautiful red Cambridge Satchel. Like most bold colored statement pieces, it caught my eye and I was immediately smitten.

Not only is it classy and sophisticated, but it also attracts both women AND men. It comes in a variety of styles, tons of different colors and can be personalized with your embossed signature.

I love how edgy it looks and how it adds that splash of color to dull corporate outfits. On weekends pair it with jeans, a white V-neck tee, cowboy boots and go!

A little note to all satchel lovers - they are made in the UK so yes, it costs a little more dinero but it so worth the extra splurge. This is one of my top picks for the season and will remain a timeless classic piece. Ole!

Fun Facts: It didn't take long for these handmade satchels—once hailed as the UK's best-kept secret—to become the "It" bag for fashion insiders. The mother-daughter owned Cambridge Satchel Company originally made their traditional British school satchels in just two colors but recently started creating these super cool highlighter-hued versions.

P.s. For those looking for a stunning new laptop carrier, the Batchel is very, very alluring. Ole!

Here's to wishing you all a very fabulous weekend! besos
