THE WIFE in Paris:

THE WIFE in Paris

This past July I decided to whisk myself away for the week, jump on the Eurostar and head to Paris. Despite the setbacks of getting there… My best friend and travel companion came down with the stomach flu the night before leaving, getting ripped off in the cab from the train station, my teenie tiny hotel room (the size of a small mini cooper), Missing the Eli Saab Couture Show and of course the ever present… language barrier. After a mild 2 day tantrum and an expectation shift, the trip turned around for the better!

Although this was not my first trip to Paris, I always enjoy getting lost in the magical city while listening to my ready made French playlists, simultaneously indulging in sugary buttery treats that are washed down with cafe cremes, catching up with long lost friends and sleeping in a charmingly chic apartment in Saint Germain.

THE WIFE in London: Summer Festivals

Summer Festivals, London, England

As many of you know I’ve been spending the Summer in London. The most popular activity among various groups of my friends has been going to weekend festivals. So I thought when in Rome….I’ve now been to 4 Festivals: Glastonbury, Kimberly, Secret Garden Party and Wilderness over the course of 2 months…. and WOW do the British know how to have fun! I also got incredibly lucky with the weather, 80 degrees and clear sunny skies every weekend…are we sure this is London?

My least favorite was Glastonbury, just because of it’s sheer size and the fact that I’ve been spoiled by Coachella all these years. I would definitely recommend Secret Garden Party and Wilderness no matter what your age for a wild, free and fun adventure.
