{this weekend} let’s book a ticket & go anywhere!

just go

Illustration made using Anthropologie image. I don’t know about you, but I want oh-so-badly to take a little break from the winter months, drop every priority and just book a last minute trip to the first sunny deal that I find. Escape and go explore a random place. And when I am there, drop my [...]

Arizona sunrise

AZ vacation 6

All pictures by me, Audrey Smit, except for pictures 3 (desert) & 8 (truck)- these pictures are by Soazic Gardais. Happy Monday! It’s been super damp and grey in NYC these past couple of days – and I have major withdrawal from our recent vacation in Arizona. So I thought I’d share a few more [...]

Thanks for sharing your pretty dream with my readers, Alexa! [...]

But before I tell you more about them, I need to backtrack to the inspiration behind them. A couple of weeks ago we were on our way to Boston for a [...]

a Paris escape

cute shops in Paris

I just realized that I promised to share some pictures from our little Paris escape in June, and I never did. So, without further ado…hubby and I spent 3 days in Paris visiting my best friend Soaz while my mother took care of the girls at their house in Normandy. In previous trips we felt [...]
