You guys, I think I’m in love with Chicago. My friend (and co-worker) Kristen and I got sent there with a few others for a week for an Internet conference (yay!) and we got to spend a glorious seven days networking, exploring the city, eating more food than we could even fathom fitting in our…
getaway: stockholm, sweden
Stockholm was the last stop on our epic European adventure and by the time we got there, I think we were both incredibly tapped out and beyond ready to make the trip home. Our budget was basically dwindling down to nothing (which is why we made sure to hit up IKEA for some cheap meatballs)…
getaway: santorini, greece
There are not enough words in the English language to sum up just how beautiful Santorini is. Is it worth the hype? ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. I’ve been in love with Paris since I was ten years old and I honestly never thought another place could come close to replacing it – until I went to…
getaway: athens, greece
We had the shortest trip to Athens of all time – but, ironically, our short stay in Athens was quite possibly the most stressful portion of the our entire trip to Europe. We got off the plane and discovered that no one took cards, meaning we had to have our cab driver (who didn’t speak…
getaway: prague, czech republic
Prague was another short stop on our trip – and we had a full 24 hours to explore the city before trekking to our next destination. One thing I don’t think either of us were anticipating was just HOW much walking we’d be doing in Prague. This place was no joke. Hills on hills on…
getaway: amsterdam
I loved Amsterdam. Seriously, loved it. The food, the people, the sights – everything about it. From the Red Light District, to canal tours, to walking a mile to find the bench from The Fault in Our Stars – it was a place that completely lived up to my expectations (and I’m very happy we…
getaway: paris, france
I first went to France when I was nine. Then again when I was 17. Then I studied abroad there when I was 20 and spent the best summer of my life gallivanting around with friends from around the world. To say I was excited to revisit Paris again was an understatement. So at this…
on embracing the new
I’m doing a cleanse. Emotionally and Physically. Or, my own version of one, anyways. Here goes nothing. Physical I haven’t had alcohol (minus one small glass of incredibly overpriced Rose) since I got home from New Orleans and this is probably the longest I’ve gone without drinking since I turned 21. It’s funny, as a millennial…
birthday girl
Jacket: Free People; Jeans: Good American; Mules: Steve Madden; Sunnies: Michael Kors My dear friend Natasha celebrated her birthday on Friday, so we all went out to the local winery to celebrate. Sitting at this little table, drinking my coffee and stuffing our faces with wine and cheese, I was reminded about how lucky I…
