Since we missed Christmas with family this year, H and I invited his parents to Sunday brunch at this great local place where they've got everything from bacon and omelets to pastries and chocolate-covered strawberries. I wore my favorite top from Target. I bought it right before our trip to Paris and I wore the heck out of it while we were gone ...
2011 Resolutions—New Year, New Goals
This is a post I've been looking forward to writing. I love sharing my goals with my readers and I'd also love to learn what everyone else hopes to accomplish this year. I like to call them goals rather than resolutions because I think the word "resolution" has all of these "bound to fail" connotations to it. So, here we ...
Paris & London Wrap-Up: Observations on Fashion, Makeup & More!
It's only Wednesday night and I already feel like this week has passed me by. I finally had a chance to review my notes from our trip---they're all just random observations from our travels abroad. I made sure to document what I was seeing fashion and beauty wise too, because I always notice what people wear, their hair and makeup no ...
What I Bought in Paris & London (Not Much at All)
A lot of you lovely ladies have been asking what I bought on our trip---the truth is, not much at all! I enjoyed a lot of window shopping while we were abroad. For designer items especially, the prices were simply so much higher than what you'd pay for the same item in the US, so I decided to only buy things I haven't seen in the US or can ...
What I’m Glad I Packed (& What I Wish I Had Packed)
I'm so exhausted that the thought of writing a post about our trip just seems overwhelming right now. I've got to be honest---I need a vacation after our vacation! Firstly---I want to thank whoever left me the comment to bring a journal and write down my thoughts about our trip each night. I forgot to bring the journal, but I used ...
Parisian Pretty
Everything is so beautiful here---the Parisians really focus on making everything as pretty as possible. Their malls are incredible. For me, seeing the mall decor, store windows and the general interiors of the malls was more exciting than the shopping itself (because uh, everything is super pricey here). (click to enlarge) The decor in ...
Paris is Sweet

Getting to the Bottom of Things: Eiffel Tower Tour
Can you guess where we went today? It was dry out and so sunny and clear---the perfect day to visit the Eiffel Tower---but we were disappointed to learn that we couldn't go to the top level, it was closed because of wind. We also visited Notre Dame today and walked around the city for hours...and ate crepes!As you can see, I wore the cognac boots ...
