Hi friends!

I’ve returned from France feeling as inspired as ever. I watched the movie Eat, Pray, Love for the first time on the plane ride there and I have some thoughts. 1) Why did it take me this long to see it, it’s a fantastic movie. 2) I’d like to think this trip kicked off an Eat, Pray, Love journey of my own. More on that another time.

To see all of the fun I got into, check out my most recent vlog over on Youtube, also linked below.

My Itinerary

Paris, France

  • Stayed at the Hôtel San Régis

  • Tea Time at Four Seasons Hotel George V

  • Dinner at Le Café des Ternes

  • Grocery Shopping at La Grande Épicerie

Reims, France

  • Stayed at Domaine Les Crayères

  • Dinner at Domaine Les Crayères Restaurant Le Parc

  • Private Vineyard tour and tasting at Champagne Laurent-Perrier Domaine

  • Lunch at Royal Champagne Hotel

  • Dinner at Au Petit Comptoir

Shop my looks!

I’ve linked some of my favorite items that I wore during my trip! Like this stunning cape style coat, impossibly chic red leather gloves, and my new favorite sunglasses. And while yes you can purchase the red leather Gucci trench I got during my Parisian shopping spree here in the states, I would like to clarify that the US retail price is about 40% more than what I paid in France… So technically you could book a round trip flight to Europe and a hotel for the weekend to purchase the coat and still have spent less than if you had paid the US price. Girl math.

What I’m cooking
