Paris

So we made it from Bordeaux all the way to Monaco, and our trip was coming to an end. But before we could leave, we had to spend a day in Paris – the place of dreams, extravagance, and fashion. We couldn’t experience it all, but what we did see will forever hold the warmest […]

Remembering France

AsideMarch 14, 2018October 2, 2019 kirstenbeverly1 Comment

A couple of summers ago, we spent a week driving through the south of France. I literally shook on the flight from New York to Paris because it had been ten years since I last stepped foot in France and I still couldn’t believe I was going back. We landed in Paris and immediately took […]

Canadian New Year

January 28, 2018November 10, 2020 kirstenbeverlyLeave a comment

My boyfriend lives in Canada. I know, bummer right? Although his move back home hasn’t been easy, mini trips to see him and vacations there have certainly helped. Originally from Quebec, he wanted to show me his home province during its most magical time, the winter holiday season. With only a week to get everything in and dodge the brutal cold we spent as much time, as we could tolerate, walking through the streets of Montreal and sitting in its warm bars and cafes.

Unfortunately, it was so cold that most of my days involved layering and bundling up to the point that I couldn’t get dolled up for our outings. My hair was constantly flattened by hats and my face was mostly covered with a mega scarf — he called it, “the ski look”. But despite that, I had the time of my life. Montreal and Quebec City have amazing architecture and culinary experiences and I am so excited to return…in the summer. 😉

So, happy New Year from us. We hope that 2018 brings so many blessings and lots of prosperity!

A White Christmas

January 17, 2018November 10, 2020 kirstenbeverlyLeave a comment

This holiday season was nothing short of amazing. We finally got our white Christmas and we owe it partially to the fact that we left the slightly warmer climate of Maryland. (Emphasis on slightly) A longer car ride than we would have preferred later, we arrived in Freeport, Maine. Known as the birthplace of L.L. Bean, the darling town is even more picturesque when covered in a blanket of white. Sprinkled with inns and bed&breakfasts there are numerous places to find lodging, but we were so lucky to have stayed in the L.L Bean House at The Harraseeket Inn.
