The French Girl. How does she manage to effortlessly sit at a cafe, sip that gorgeous cup of latte and people watch for hours on end- by herself? Her confidence and aura captivates any room. She is often seen strolling down the narrow alleyways with a bouquet of roses and a freshly baked baguette in her … More My Inner French Girl
They say in life, some things are meant to be. You’ll know immediately when you encounter the person, the experience, or the place. It’s that feeling that you’ve never felt before and when you actually do, everything feels right. For me, it’s my love affair with Parisian spaces. When I grow up, I want my home to … More Paris Spaces
With this post, I’m taking you back to summer ’13 when we took Zoey to Paris right before her second birthday. I can’t believe how much she’s grown since.

A trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the famed Laduree. Zoey loves these petite macarons and couldn’t devour them fast enough!

While in Paris, one of the things that I really wanted to do was go to the Lover’s Bridge and lock our love… forever.

Just some random chit-chat worthy things to mention…. Earlier this week, I bought these cool concrete initials for Zoey’s future bedroom (for when we move to our new place…whenever that is!) from Restoration Hardware. This is the type of random not-thought-out purchase that my husband would categorize as “junk.” Lately, I’ve been mildly obsessed with … More Friday Chit-Chat

She gave my newly … More PARIS, A Gift!

These ranunculus reminds me so much … More Pieces in the Closet
Paris was our very first and last stops during our European honeymoon adventure. What can I say about Paris? The first thing that I noticed is that the Parisian women are so stylish, polished, and beautiful. So much so that they are like artworks, too delicate and expensive to touch.
