As I mentioned in a previous #TBT post about Alcatraz, we made a stop in Los Angeles while driving from San Francisco to San Diego back in February. It was a quick visit for sure: we only had one full day in LA! When planning how we'd conquer the City of Angeles, we decided that the Hollywood Sign hike … Continue reading Travel Diaries: All the Way Up (@ Runyan Canyon)
The "Sunday Scaries" were real yesterday! Just wanted to share some of my favorite pics from this gloomy weekend. I'm always looking for cool graffiti and street art to take pictures of (and with!) and we found some awesome murals in downtown Manhattan. We took these before heading into Alphabet City for some beer and … Continue reading A pop of color
Hello Party People and happy Thursday. We've almost made it-- the weekend is so close I can nearly taste it! For this #TBT post, I thought I'd take you across the pond and share some pictures from our London 2015 trip. My boyfriend, Ben, is British and thanks to him, I've had the opportunity to … Continue reading Travel Diaries: #TBT to LDN
Throwing it back to San Francisco this Thursday. Ben, Christy, Austin and I cancelled our trip to Cartagena, Colombia (Thanks, zika! Boo!) and did a week in the Golden State, where we started in San Fran, drove to LA and then down to San Diego. San Francisco was AMAZING. So beautiful. So hilly. So many … Continue reading TBT: The Rock & Some Other San Fran Goodness
Meant to post about this yesterday for 'throwback thursday', but time got away from me! I guess it still works as a "flashback friday". Just wanted to share this really cool place worth checking out if you're ever in London. It's called the Cereal Killer Cafe and it's pretty sweet (figuratively and literally). It's a … Continue reading This place is a killer…
Florence is a perfect city: it's modern, yet it's historic Renaissance roots seep through every which way you turn. It's beautiful; it's romantic; and the food is delicious. We spent our time in the center of the city, visiting the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Loggia dei Lanzi and the Ponte Vecchio. We also visited the Boboli Gardens, … Continue reading Fierce Firenze
When I saw this dress, I knew I had to have it for our trip to Italy! The color is perfect for summer and the cut-outs are bold, but not over the top. I think the high-low length and the flowing nature of the dress make up for it. I can't lie, I was a … Continue reading Fierce Firenze…What I wore
Just a quick post for Siena with some of my favorite pics. Absolutely adored this city! Larger than any of the other towns we had visited being that it was an actual city, but it was still very quaint (and therefore right up my alley) with stunning medieval architecture and what seemed like endlessly winding … Continue reading Take me to…Siena
I was shocked when I first got off the train in Amsterdam! I think it's so easy to have a strange impression of the city because of the legal weed and prostitution, but there is so much more to it than that. The houses that line the canals are stunning and picturesque: all different shapes, sizes and colors. … Continue reading A ‘dam good time in the Netherlands!
Also towards the beginning of our week-long stay, we stopped in Montalcino and Montepulciano: both beautiful, yet different. Montalcino sits at the top of a mountain and is very quaint. Similarly, Montepulciano is also at the top of a mountain, but the streets of the town wind themselves up to the peak, where the views are breathtaking. … Continue reading Montalcino + Montepulciano
