Well folks. It is now exactly just two weeks and 6 hours until my plane takes off for London. I could not be more excited. It only seemed appropriate to make this week's favorite things the British edition. Partly because I love England so much, and partly because I have realized that instead of paying high prices for shipping, I can order things offline, have them sent to TLS's British address, and they'll be waiting for me when I get there. Someone hide my credit card from me. All prices are in GBP. Currently the exchange rate is: 1£= $1.65.
Many of my readers know my love of fun coffee mugs. When you are in London, obviously a trip to Harrods is a must. I love the quirky elegance of this mug. It's pricey, but makes a great souvenir or gift. £11.95
Another fun, quirky gift idea from Harrods is this "Lovers and Other Strangers" address book. I absolutely love the color. £14.95
A beautiful pearl bracelet from Harrods by Thomas Sabo, £29.95. 
A beautiful blue and white tea for one set from Harrods, £26.95.
From another British staple, Fortnum and Mason, a luggage tag in my favorite color. £17.62 
When I first when to England with my mother in high school, I saw this darling little box from Wedgwood and knew I had to have it. My mother talked me out of it because it was £17 and I couldn't store anything in it. Since then, I've always wanted it. It is now up to £22.50, but I don't care. I am determined to make it mine by the end of this trip.
Another gift idea from Wedgwood that I am lusting over is this teapot candle. It is a single person sized Jasperware teapot that is filled with an Earl Grey scented candle. At £20.00 the price is a bit high, but it would definitely make a nice hostess or other gift.
From Marks & Spencer, a cute umbrella at a great price. £5
Also from Marks & Spencer, a pair of Mr. and Mrs. mugs that would make a great gift for a newlywed couple. £9.50
I love the mug, bracelet and umbrella!

Okay I LOOOOVE M&S more than anyone ever should so of course I love all there stuff. I love their clothes too - not too expensive but versatile. Talking about M&S makes me miss there chicken salads - which, when I worked at Bishopsgate, I had nearly every day as there was an M&S nearby. I'm getting supper jealous of your trip now. Feel free to travel down to Surrey to a lovely village called Hinchley Wood and give my old neighbors a hug. And then you can mail my dad some bread b/c he loved the bakery in town. LOL. OMG that's it. I'm coming with. What says "romance" like your BFF JILL tagging along? xoxoxo
