100 Things {week one}

As I posted last week I am starting a mini blog series called "100 things" where for 10 weeks I will post 10 things that make me happy. Sofia from Sofia's Journal came up with the idea and challenged her readers to come up with their own list of happiness. I thought it was such a fun little project and I had to give it try! So without further ado, week one here we go!

#1 Cupcakes (especially mini bite sized ones)

#2 Those really perfect hair days (with summer starting I will cherish each one, hello frizz?!)

#3 Does this one even need an explanation? Oh those little blue boxes

#4 Fresh fruit from your local market, deeeelicious

#5 Funny things that make me giggle (Harry Potter fans will understand this..."Lumos")

#6 Springtime.  That feeling seeing the first tulip bloom. SMILES

#7 Carousels

#8 Waking up thinking it's Friday and then you realize it's Saturday.  Guilt free snooze button!

#9 Collage/Vision board of your favorite things

#10 Beach treasures <3

And there you have it folks! One week down, nine to go. Stay tuned for next week's 10!

Enjoy xo

Just window shopping

Happy Monday everyone!

When I got back from my last trip to Paris someone asked me what I bought while I was there. Instead of responding with a list that should have gone something like "two great shirts, a skirt, two dressed and amazing shoes!" I replied..."I got these amazing shots of these store windows the clothes were incredible, and I had to go back to the Galerie Lafayette just take more photos of their shoe department and glass ceiling......." Then I realized what I was doing. OOPS. My photos are my purchases, my babes, what I get most excited for and what will stay with me longer than any article of clothing I could ever buy. With that being said...it was a good lesson that when I need to go shopping it's best the camera stays at home or else there will be no purchases...but you can bet there will be tons of photos ;)

Hope you all have a great week! xo

Let's get lost in Paris together

Happy Friday everyone!

Last night I stumbled upon forgotten photos from my September trip to Paris. I couldn't really decide a. which ones I wanted to use and b. how I would present them. So I started creating a collage and played around with all the images until I was satisfied. Voila! A collection of mismatched random snapshots of my beloved Paris.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

It's the long weekend therefore I'm going to enjoy my day off by relaxing (a lot), prepping more posts for this week and some family time this afternoon. A big THANK YOU to all your lovely comments on last weeks posts! I read every single one and love getting your feedback.

A big thank you to Jennifer, this was so much fun to do!

May showers...May flowers!

Happy hump day...well it's almost Thursday so Happy Thursday!

It's amazing what magic a little sun can do for your soul and overall mood. Today I was extremely tired from working late yesterday evening and being up at the crack of dawn to beat the traffic downtown...and yet even now at 10pm as I write this I feel so awake and energized. SPRING is coming [insert happy dance]. Hello sunlight. Hello sun dresses. Hello sandals. and HELLO patio season!
