Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know “pip pip” mimics the double honk on an early 20th century motorcar? It's an upperclass British colloquialism for farewell. 🎩 I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans!

Guess what?!! My Zebra article is out! I’m so excited 😆.

Beyond Camelot: The Life and Legacy of Jackie O starts on page 18! You can pick up print copies around town!!!

Monte Durham donated his entire Jackie collection to The First Ladies Library and we were there for the opening — all in Burberry!

Links in bio for the article, the print edition, and some more Jackie stories.

Hotel Café Royal • London

This place is on Regent Street where the elegance of Mayfair merges with energy of Soho — and it is one great fashion show! When we’re in London we like to go here have drinks, an appetizer, and people watch. 😍

It popped up on my FB memories today. 🥰

Have ya been? Will you go? Let us know.

well done @milesdejiles 😘

Went to Barca last night. The staff couldn’t have been nicer! We had a great time.

It’s a small plate concept. We shared everything. But some favorites emerged. Miles really liked the BEEF TENDERLOIN with tomatoes, red wine, shallots, garlic, & jalapeños. And by far my fav was the JAMÓN SERRANO CROQUETAS with manchego & aleppo-orange honey. On my list to try next time are the STUFFED DATES with blue cheese, jamón serrano, & olive oil — they sound delish!

It’s packed most of the time. But Tuesday around 4 o’clock we were seated straight away. It was pretty full by the time we left. We were conscious not to linger. But they never made us feel rushed. And they were super welcoming to the furry princess!

Have ya been? Will ya go? Let us know! And follow us for more in Old Town.🍍⚓️💛

Miles took a really nice picture of me and the furry princess! I took three of Miles and managed to not get his face in all three of them. 🤦‍♀️

Think I’ll do better playing photographer for the blessing of the fleet tomorrow? Stay tuned!

We’ve had a lot of strollers. And this Roodo is by far the best to go out dining with! It’s got a really small footprint without sacrificing space for the furry princess. And it was by for the easiest one to put together — it came folded like an umbrella and we just popped on wheels.

Link to it on our blog. And you can link to that in our bio.

Celebrating this fella today! ❤️🎂🥳

We had a leisurely lunch at Chart House, toasting Miles! Sipped a nice pale pink rosé in the shade and people watched in between courses. Limited menu compared to the olden days. But it was tasty.

I love you so much @milesdejiles — thanks for sharing your day with us! 😘

This is the beauty I came downstairs to this morning. A perfect bouquet from the furry princess for Mother’s Day weekend!

I do suspect Chou Chou’s daddy had something to do with it! 😉

Many thanks to my loves! And lots of love to all of you! 😘

We went to the opening of the Jackie Exhibit, donated by @therealmontedurham , at the First Ladies Exhibit in Canton, Ohio. And we’re doing an article on it for @thezebrapress 🦓!!!

I’ve been working on our Zebra article. And it’s so fun to look at all the pics of this smart, amazing, and stylish lady.

Full article in the June print edition! But if you want a little behind the scenes we’ve got a peek of the press event on the blog. Link in Bio.

À bientôt! 😘
