Lookin' Good in Lanc City [vol. I]

Welcome to the new blog series of Lookin' Good from Lancaster, England, courtesy of Sarah Dusinberre

What to wear: Glitter anything.
What not to wear: Anything pastel
What to shoe: Ankle boots and chunky sandal heels
What to handbag: A cute clutch - as long as there is glitter!
Must have accessory: Belts - worn with casual wear or going out wear. And not for the purpose of belts, but to cinch that waist!
Biggest shopping splurge: Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream at £4.19 is worth every pence for the reminder of a beautiful place called America where there is flavor and calories in every bite.
Favorite designer: Top Shop, River Island, and Monsoon
Saucy sale: Anything found at St. John's Hospice Cancer Care Charity Shop
What to read: Anything on Roman Britain - especially information on Boudica or the Roman Navy
What to see: FOOTBALL! The boys are in Glasgow as we speak watching a game.
What to hair: Super straight hair or the British form of a mullet - Short and choppy in the front, long and smooth in the back.
Favorite bad movie: Inglourious Basterds - The American boys said it was spot on and hilarious if you were American - 80% of the laughter was coming from them. Very interesting the different viewpoints on WWII.
What to TiVo: Anything American - British copywrite laws forbid any television shows to be shown on-line leaving us Americans in the dust about our favorite shows for the next 4 months.
What to listen to: Number 1 song in the UK - I Gotta Feelin' (The Black Eyed Peas)
What to eat: Chicken Masala and Naan
Where to eat it: Moghuls Indian Restaurant - Family run, with friendly staff and Happy Hour 4:30 - 7:30 Sun thru Thurs, offering half off meals
Mobile Service: O2 - the AT&T of the UK
Best & Worst Vice: Jammie Dodgers! £1 at Farm Foods!
Dream Vacation: We're in England! Might as well explore this beautiful country.
Makeover regression: Amy Winehouse - she loves being crazy.
Looking extra foxy: Sienna Miller is gracing the covers of Brit GQ causing the American lads go ga-ga in every supermarket (and the cover is too racy to even show on this blog - Welcome to England)
Couple of the moment: The Speidi of Britain - Peter and Jordan (real name, Katie Price) have split, sending the Brit Tabs in a tizzy.
Drama of the Moment: The Scots are afraid of talking to us Americans with the release of the Lockerbie bomber. As one Scotsman told me last night, "I'm afraid you're gonna turn my English mates on me - that's what your government is doing." We can never win.

Totally Overrated: Being British. They may have nice accents but we've been told everywhere we go that we are the most attractive people in the place. Thank you, American dental care.
Crush of the Moment: Jay Sean. Adorable Indo-Brit singer who is starting out in his late 20's due to getting his medical degree.
Obsession of the Moment: All the Americans I spend my waking moments with :)
