Q&C xoxo
A peek inside one girl's love for Britain (and some random bits and bobs I come across that I love)- from a British girl at heart, living in Chicago with a nationality identity crisis. I started this blog to share my obsession with all things British - and I do mean ALL things - fashion, food, culture, history, literature, the Royal Family, stately homes - but I can also get totally off topic, so don't be alarmed if you see the occasional post that has nothing to do at all with the UK!

When Literature and Fashion Collide
...you get something fabulous! I may as well tell you now, I can't think of anything I would rather do on any given day than grab a cuppa tea and retreat with a good book. Nothing. Except for maybe grab one of these lovely clutches and head out for a fun night on the town. I've had a love affair with Kate Spade for forever, and no one writes a book like those from the UK. These are four of my absolute favorites. Perfection. They would even look lovely sitting on the shelf when you're not out and about, just sayin!

a few things....Liberty London and Jcrew. A match made in heaven.
We all know by now I love the United Kingdom, that much is really obvious. My other loves include fashion, exploring new places, visiting a cafe and sitting there for hours with my tea and a book (something people in the United States need to do more in my opinion), hiking in the California mountains with my puppies and my husband, building my library one book at a time (it's hugely tipped towards the UK, we're at like 90% UK 10% other genres, but whatever...), and slowly getting through my stack of books beside my bed, the list goes on and on.....
So really, so much the better when my loves for certain things combine, such as the new Liberty London line for Jcrew...have you seen it? Liberty is one of my favorite department stores in London, and if you haven't been, you need to go for the outside alone! Look at it - Stunning!!!

I mean, it's really a stunning building, is it not? It's like everything I love about the UK, with my other love of shopping, wrapped up in one gorgeous black and white package. I digress...While at Jcrew yesterday I picked up a few lovely shirts that are part of the Liberty London collaboration....btw, Liberty is known all over the world for its famous floral and graphic prints, and you'll see them of many things in the store, including some Barbour jackets (another personal love of mine, nothing screams English countryside quite like it), silk scarfs, and stationary (love, love and love). So here are some swatches from my purchases - very excited to start wearing these - they are super comfy and stylish. Jcrew and Liberty mix perfectly!
What do we think? Do we love?
