I just came across two of my favorite things combined into one very fun video: Daisy Lowe & ASOS. Sure, sure the ad is from months ago, but she is just darling, so never mind the difference of se...
While Paris is not a perfect city (read: yucky smells) it is undeniably inspirational as even the most common of things have an ideal aesthetic. This citys original beauty is a constant reminder that...
Mondays in the states are not nearly as rad as Mondays in Paris. For some reason I just love this day of the week. Today was a day of cozy sweaters, French film watching, wine drinking along the Sein...
Each night that I have been less than motivated to go out have ended up being some of the best nights, with some my favorite people. Talk about rallying paying off. Here is a weekend sum up (thus far...
My luck is at an all time high. Between fashion week runway shows and events, finding ten euro on the ground at a bar, and running around Paris with a group of local Parisians until five in the morni...
While Fashion Week is coming to an end, the excitement of all things la mode are hardly wearing off. Tonight Jane and I will be heading over to LEclaireur for the ASVOFF4 Cocktail event, which is a F...
Le Jardin de Tuileries is one of my favorite places to relax in the sun and read a book on weekend mornings or lazy afternoons. Today however, my tranquil spot became quite energetic, as the Viktor &...
This has to be the best week to be living in Paris, as fall Fashion Week has consumed every inch of the city. After attending the Lutz runway show last night, I literally saw one of the models on the...
Add captionIm off to the Lutz runway show on day two of Paris Fashion week! Paris is currently experiencing a crazy heat wave, making the Parisian costumery of fall Fashion Week attendees even more c...
I finally got the feeling that I have been waiting for since August 21, my first day of living in Paris: the feeling that I simply cant imagine leaving Paris in December. My life has become the ideal...
I cant pick a decade I like most. I simply cant!
I just cant seem to find the words to adequately explain my first week of living in Paris. Maybe its because it seemed to flashed by in a hot second, or maybe it is because this whole experience is q...
The number of days until I arrive in Paris is dwindling down... rapidly. Today was the first day where it was hard to eat food due to the constant flutter of butterflies in my stomach. While my nerve...
Truth #1: I am less than adventurous. I guess my sisters got all of those genes from my parents while I got the "always cautious" genes. What can you do? Well, you can travel the world. And I...
As my time working at A Tropical Affair concludes, I am becoming nostalgic, excited... and greedy for more lingerie! For the past two and a half years I have spent endless hours with great co-workers...
This picture brings me endless joy so I just had to share it. Im related to this crazy bunch: Dad, Kate and Brooke Sure seems like something was hilarious. I love this kind of uncontr...
This summer and, of course, this fall my weekends are going to be full of short trips to visit friends, family and foreign places. Thus, I compiled a list of essentials for a weekend away, whether it...

After breaking my trusty black sandals in Newport a couple of weekends ago, my shoe selection suddenly seems much more sparse (dont feel too sorry for me, they were over two years old). It is difficu...
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”Ernest Hemingway
Really great things are happening to me as I continue to prepare for my trip to Paris. Last week I traveled home to bay area (with my teensy, tiny Honda civic packed to the brim) to get my French Vis...
So, I cant believe it but I leave for Paris in a little under 15 weeks. About once a week I have an ah-ha, revelation moment where the reality of my adventure sets in. Its usually at work and I will ...
My new favorite (and budget friendly) hobby: transforming vintage Levi jeans into high-waisted denim shorts. After two trips to the Goodwill, I have accumulated quite an impressive wardrobe of cutoff...
About a month ago, I went wild with online shopping. After having my appendix removed and therefore being confined to a bed or couch for ten days, scouring the internet for new items was about all I ...
Things that I am drawn to: sparkles, leopard print, and lace. I love the versatility of lace-y pieces and the many shapes they come in. I would love to have lace culottes and a white lace dress....
As mentioned previously (and will continue to be said) knee socks = adorable. Anytime, anywhere, I love em. And these girls are rocking them well.
This set has been on my radar for the past year (its difficult to be surrounded by such beautiful, dainty things all day and not create a never-ending list of things to buy). But today, I finally too...
Tonight, I found a treasure hiding in my desk: my high school sketchbook. After flipping through the worn pages, I became nostalgic and envious of the days I was able to sit around, painting or ...
I had an alarming realization tonight. After browsing for a pleated mini skirt and thinking about what I would want to wear it with, I realized.... that I create outfits that 1995s Clueless main char...
