A Perfect Picnic in Paris
One of my favorite things to do in Paris is drinking wine al fresco. Seriously, we did it every single day. What makes having wine outside even better is doing it with a view of the Eiffel Tower.

Champagne in France
When I found out that the Champagne region of France is just a short 45-minute train ride from Paris, I knew I had to visit. I’ve been to Napa a few times and absolutely love visiting wineries and trying wine. And since champagne can only be called champagne if it’s from the region in France […]
Dancing Under the Eiffel Tower
There’s something so special and magical about the Eiffel Tower, it’s no wonder it’s such a famous landmark. But I’ll be honest, the first time I saw it I was like, “that’s it?” I was unimpressed, to say the least. But the more time I spent in Paris, the more enamored with it I became. […]
Stripes & Espresso
One of my favorite things about Europe is the espresso. I know we have it here in the US, but it’s different. Americans drink jumbo coffees full of sugar and milk. And I have to admit, I do it too. But I love how a nice double espresso can really get you going in the […]
Cafes & Rosé
Is there anything more Parisian than having rosé al fresco with friends? That was definitely our favorite thing to do in the city. I think approximately 90% of the money I spent in Paris was at cafes and mostly on rosé. Hey, I was on vacation! On this particular day, we headed to St. Germain […]
Exploring Versailles: A Day Trip from Paris
The Palace of Versailles, or Château de Versailles as they call it in France, is just a short 45-minute train ride from Paris – and probably my most recommended thing to do while in Paris. Yes, Paris does have some beautiful attractions, but Versailles was the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life. […]
Casual Stripes in Paris
Before I went to Paris, I assumed everyone wore A-line skirts, striped shirts, ballet flats and berets every day. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously, don’t you just picture Parisian women as perfectly put together elegant ladies? Well, I’m here to burst your bubble. Because everyone in Paris dresses casual af. Luckily a […]
Le Jardin de la Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
When I think of the south of France, endless fields of lavender and beautiful blue coastal waters come to mind. Is there anything better than flowers and a beautiful view? I don’t think so. Which is why when my mom, sister and I decided to stop by Nice, France during our trip to Europe, we […]
A Day at the Market in Nice, France
When we arrived in Nice, France we had a little trouble finding our Airbnb apartment. As usual. Some exploration of the area revealed a large open space filled with several booths lined in a row. We had stumbled upon the market in Nice, France, which turned out to be just steps from the apartment we […]
