If you’ve been following along since my most recent trip to London (in October), you’ll know that I’ve been hinting about going back on an extended visit ever since. I don’t want to give away too many details just yet, but I will be going back this fall! I’ll be escaping the worst of the Texas summer heat on July 26th and heading back to my favorite city until the holidays. I’ll be sharing more info as we get closer (and a bunch more travel content!), but I’ll be making some changes on here that I wanted to update you on now.
In an effort to *hopefully* grow my readership while I’m abroad (and maybe a little bit prior to my departure), I’m going to begin including links to both US and UK retailers in my blog posts. Just like before, you simply have to scroll down to the SHOP THE POST section of each blog post to find the links to the products featured. If you’re based in the states, just click the link titled “US” – you’ll find the products linked to your favorite trusted brands based here like Shopbop, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and more.
For those of you based in the UK, you’ll find links to the same (sometimes exact and sometimes similar) products at the retailers you’ve come to trust at home (and ones in the US with good international shipping rates!) when you click on links titled “UK” – these retailers could include ASOS, Harrods, Selfridges, Shopbop, NET-A-PORTER, etc. If an item is not available at a British retailer, is old or sold out, I will link to the most similar pieces I can find!
Basically I just want to make it easier for each and every one of you to shop your favorite looks on this blog at the stores you shop at most and rely on, no matter where you are located. I’ve started this new shoppable section today, so scroll down to take a look. I hope you find this helpful – if you have suggestions on how to make it easier to shop or questions about certain retailers, please email me! I love getting feedback and hearing from you :)

I’m so excited for you!! I only wish you were going earlier – I’ll be in London for a few weeks in June. Can’t wait to hear more :)
This look is perfection and I couldn’t be more excited for your abroad adventure! I’ll be following closely & hopefully visiting!!
Wonderful news, Merritt! I’ve been living here in London for the past couple of years, but many of my favorite style bloggers – like you! – are stateside, which can be very frustrating when I want to shop the posts. Dilemma: solved! What a great idea!
On a side note – we grew up together (we were pretty young, so no worries if you don’t remember) & I’ve loved following your blog & its success through the past few years! It’s very inspiring to see a hometown gal launch herself like you have! I’m sure you have lots of plans for your time in London, but I’m here if you ever find yourself craving some Mexican food with a fellow Texan!
Natalie! Of course I remember you. I’m so glad you reached out! And how amazing that you’re living in London! I’m so jealous, but luckily I’ll be there for a few months this fall! I would absolutely love to get together. It’s always nice to see a familiar face abroad – I see many cafe and pub visits in our future ;)
Also, so happy to hear that you like the new UK shopping feature – while I don’t have a huge UK readership right now, I’m hoping this enables you guys to shop these posts more easily (and hopefully gain some new readers along the way)! I’ll email you and we can connect when I arrive! xx, Merritt
Sounds great – can’t wait for your time here in London! We’ll have a jolly good time! xx
Oh wow, I’ve never been to London! Love this jacket!
