Happy Birthday Stuart….

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

You steal the covers,

But I still love you.

Happy Birthday Twiggy. X 

Harvard Art Museums…

Where Harvard hoards art like it hoards Nobel Prizes 😅

For Ethan & Lauren’s fabulous wedding rehearsal dinner, we dined at the museum - a place with a brooding Rothko, a Monet that gave us the side-eye, and statues that silently judged our outfits.

Bright, sleek, suspiciously curated. Calder, Van Gogh, Matisse, Cézanne, Munch - and enough German expressionism to haunt your dreams.

We loved the museum (and the dinner! 😂)

Architecture Tour @ The Barbican Centre…

If concrete could talk, the Barbican’s Brutalist buildings would probably grumble about modern architecture and then invite you in for a stiff Grey Goose and cranberry. 

Yes, yesterday Darce, Stuart and I took The Architecture Tour of the Barbican Centre in the glitzy City of London. 

It was like stepping into a dystopian utopia - where every raw concrete surface somehow oozed charm and intellectual defiance. 

Our guide, Oliver, was equal parts historian and architectural apologist.  

We walked through the post-war dreams of a society that clearly had a surplus of cement and ambition.

The place is a love letter to grey, angular beauty - and strangely, by the end, you’ll find yourself swooning over ventilation shafts and shadowy stairwells. 

Unlike the weather, Brutalism is cool.

The Alley…

Typical for a last night of a holiday, we found the best gay bar in town! The Alley. Bear bar, great crowd, great music, free-pouring drinks, and this gem in the corner - Adams Family Pinball !!!🦇👻⚫️🔮⚡️🔌🧡 

I was in Heaven.

Pre-flight Breakfast…

 Pre-flight breakfast cocktails anyone? Fabulous breakfast place. 🍸

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum…

Darce & I visited upon this Venetian fever dream yesterday with no labels (Isabella’s rules), dim lighting, and a courtyard that feels like a Renaissance spa.

We wandered past Titian, Vermeer, Degas, & empty frames from the 1990 heist - still hanging, like the art might come back out of guilt.

Feels less like a museum, more like breaking into a rich woman’s house and staying for the Botticelli.
