Siesta.

Madrid Espana. 

This photo was taken years ago, by one of my best friends Kristine Billon on our trip to Spain. 

 Seems like just yesterday we started traveling! I think back and remember the delicious cafe con leche I sipped on every morning. The patatas bravas was about the only thing I really cared for (as far as Spanish food)..and well the Sangria and the Flamenco dancers too. I'm open to trying everything for the most part, but I couldn't seem to delight in the Spanish food. The cold tomato soup (gazpacho) made me almost vomit..sorry if you got a visual :)

Such a cultural adventure..the good and the bad. One of the coolest things I thought was Siesta..a pause in the middle of the day where businesses and schools were closed for a break with the family. So many wonderful memories :) 

The Flamenco link I have above is the exact show we went to..what a great experience! Check it out.

Kristine captured our trip beautifully..here are just a few photos from our trip.

Paris Romance

We recently went to Paris. The streets were crawling with people; despite us staying out of the touristy areas. The skies were gray and it pretty much rained our whole entire trip. It didn't matter..everything was perfect. Mike and I got engaged and also celebrated my 27th birthday. Here are a few pictures of our wonderful weekend.













The view from our hotel room was pretty amazing..especially at night.

My ring! I'm so in love with it..Mike really knows my taste..great job honey!

The pastries and food stands were outstanding!

Time to take a break.

We had a yummy delicious sunday brunch before we left at this cute little cafe.

Bonsoir!

I love the Trish McEvoy Lipstick here, but there is something else I'm in love with. I finally ordered the Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick, yeah I know I'm a little behind, but I'm am completely and utterly in love with it!! It looks so pretty on!

Last weekend we went to Paris and had a wonderful time..I will post some pictures next week :)

Also cross your fingers we might be moving to the beaches of Spain for a month..still up in the air, but I'm already jumping up and down.

A Girl Should Be Two Things: Classy and Fabulous -Coco Chanel

So excited to go to Paris this weekend. I just love everything about being there; the pastries, oysters, duck, heavy cream, souffles..ohh the wonderful food..the culture is just so fabulous. I think I appreciate it even more after working in a Fine French Restaurant for 2 years. I think I may even watch the Coco Before Chanel movie today just to get motivation to do something victorious ( as some might call it)..something rewarding for me. Taking chances is risky, but that's how success arrives.

Last night Mike and I celebrated Cinco De Mayo at home with Corona's (I was too lazy to make margarita's even though they're much more glamorous and fun), Fajitas, beans, and fresh salsa. I think Mike actually ate so much he fell into a food coma because at nine he was fast asleep, while I was up watching Leap Year. We have so much fun together!

Anyhow I'm excited for this weekend. I want to go shopping too..I'm in love with this look. So classy!
