First Time by Kygo feat. Ellie Goulding

June 12, 2017.Reading time less than 1 minute.

As happy as I am being in Paris, it’s hard not to get nostalgic for those summer nights in Newport and New York City. Kygo’s latest single with Ellie Goulding hits the feels—it’s done and it’s over, but I wouldn’t change anything. First Time will be a great add to the playlist with Calvin Harris […]

Adjusting to Parisian Life

June 9, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

I’m not even sure where to begin describing what it’s like to move across an ocean to build a new life and live with your boyfriend. I take way too pictures of street corners and flowers. I eat breakfast at 12:30 pm, because my body still thinks its 6:30 am with the +6 hour time […]

Boulinier, Parisian Secondhand Bookstore Chain

June 8, 2017.Reading time 1 minute.

There’s an exhausting list of things we need for the apartment, but it’s time to have fun and add some small, decorative personal touches. The bookshelf in our apartment looks a little empty, so I found a list of secondhand bookstores written by Insidr Paris and decided to head to Boulinier in Bonne Nouvelle. If you’re […]

How to Shuck Oysters with the Real Oyster Cult

May 28, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

Nothing like kicking off summer with fresh New England oysters I’ve been meaning to order from the Real Oyster Cult this spring, but Memorial Day weekend seemed like the perfect opportunity to share the experience with family in Leesburg, Virginia—it only seemed right to bring a taste of New England with relatives who love oysters. […]

To make this easier, I will focus mostly on understanding cultural appropriation in context to the fashion industry. What is cultural appropriation? Here’s the definition published by the […]

Freud Museum Vienna Austria waiting room

Out of all of the places Steph and I visited during our short stay in Vienna, I didn’t anticipate the Freud Museum to leave such a lasting impression. We visited the Freud Museum in the late afternoon after eating schnitzel for lunch. The museum is a 10-minute walk from Votivkirche and Universitatstrasse. When you approach the […]

Link Haul | International Travel Tips

May 16, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

I have a habit of hoarding blog post links and never sharing them. Until now. I always try to find out what’s happening in the social media landscape and lifestyle/travel blogosphere by reading a lot of articles. Most of the links I used to save were entrepreneurial inspirations, but since I’ve joined several different blogger networks […]

Alfred Sisley (1839-1899): Impressionist Master at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut showcases a rich array of Sisley’s works from private collections and major museums. After a recent visit to the Peabody Museum at Yale, I developed a curiosity to explore museums in Fairfield County. I’ve always seen the sign for the Bruce Museum on […]

Full Blown Love by BROODS

May 10, 2017.Reading time 1 minute.

Someone definitely switched up the Theory music stream, because I noticed that there were several tracks that I have saved on my personal Soundcloud and artists I love. Young the Giant. Bad Suns. A few other alternative artists that I can’t think of at the moment. And, of course, BROODS. My love affair for BROODS […]
