Paris. It was an instant love affair. While I have been to Paris a few times before, I have never been for this long and actually just lived. Instead of trying to make it to every attraction, I just enjoyed the city. I walked a ton, stopped at street cafes for a midday espresso and people watching, stared endlessly at the gorgeous architecture and ivory tones of the buildings. My diet consisted mainly of espresso, wine, bread, and brie. No joke. Not to mention, I was there during Paris Fashion Week and got to attend some absolutely breathtaking presentations and shows. I've now worked this lovely city into my 10 year plan (hopefully)... need to learn French first! It was such a lovely combo of work and pleasure in the city of lights where I really did "do as a Parisienne does". Here are some of my favorites from the trip and stay tuned for my look from the John Galliano show :)

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Amsterdam. It is SUCH A CUTE CITY and pretty romantic actually! I found myself missing my beau during my time there. The old school architecture, flowers everywhere, biking, canals, there was a certain charm about it all.

All of my favorites are below but these three are musts!                        

MUSTS:

  • Paddleboat (or "canal boat") rental & bring a picnic from Stach

TOURISTY BUT NECESSARY:
