Cafés & Cappuccinos in Paris   One of my favorite things to do in Paris is to park myself at a café and sip on a frothy cappuccino. We had plans to go to Café de Flore that day, but when we arrived at the popular hot spot, we realized that it was way too crowded for photos. “Oh well…C’est la […]

I Dream of Rome

  It’s a warm summer morning and life feels rather surreal as we walk down the cobblestone alleyways that lead us to our destination. Our path is laid with Roman balconies and empty outdoor restaurants. The city is sleepy…which is something that we have in common, but the early start is worth it as we approach the […]

Chic Notes: Pink Peonies in Paris
