Jardin du Luxembourg

To me, traveling is about getting lost sometimes and being okay with it, which is exactly what Kelsey and I did in Paris when we stumbled upon Jardin du Luxembourg. This massive stretch of trees, architecture, and walking paths was breathtaking in fall colors.

The Big Apple

There is no place like New York City. The Big Apple, NYC, Manhattan, whatever you like to call it, Manhattan has something for everyone. I love visiting the city anytime I can because of the constant energy. On this short day trip, we showed one of my best friends the city for the first time. How do you show someone Manhattan in just a few hours? We did Time Square, some shopping on Fifth, lunch at Fig & Olive, followed by a walk up to the Plaza, Bergdorf's, and Central Park. Obviously if we had more time, I would have loved to show her my favorite part of the city, Bryant Park and the Public Library, as well as Soho, and the Met. What are your favorite spots in Manhattan? I'd love to know!

some adorable Baked by Melissa mini cupcakes for the train ride back to Jersey! I love her small treats...the perfect bite size for someone like myself who never wants a whole cupcake.

iced

My obsession with iced drinks continues...even when I spill a latte all over my boots! Although it's still in the 30s in Chicago and doesn't look like it will be warming up soon, I cannot seem to stop ordering iced drinks. I somehow managed to spill my drink all over myself, but I guess thats another perk of not ordering a hot drink: no scolding burns for klutzes like moi. Anyone else with me on sticking with ice or is it just my weird thing?

Dear Spring,

As much as I adore Chicago and have self-acclaimed, "fallen in love with the city", as I mentioned in yesterday's Spring post, I'm a bit fed up with the winter weather we're still experiencing. It's almost APRIL, come on! Feeling like a wrapped up marshmallow with endless layers, scarves, mittens, and heavy coats was nice in January, but Spring you are more than welcome to hurry up and bring some sunshine with ya.
