We had a lovely Independence Day – went for a 3 mile run, spent 5 hours by the pool with the pups, spent time with Sasha’s sister who is in town from San Francisco, and went to a friend’s BBQ in the evening. I love July Fourth so much! How did you spend the big day?
Some of my all-time favorite quotes were spoken by Mark Twain. I always feel so inspired by this wanderlust-filled saying – isn’t it so true? We will definitely be more disappointed by the things we choose not to do than those we decide to do. It makes me want to pack a bag and go and travel (probably not good timing though, since we get married in 18 days!). I hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Summer 2013 is here, and it has me thinking back four years,to the ‘l’été de mes rêves.’ I was blessed enough to live in France for three months – the first few weeks were spent interning at the Cannes Film Festival, then I packed up and headed to Paris, where I interned at an Oil & Gas exploration company and spent every free second wandering around the city with one of my best friends, Andrew. I blogged about my daily adventures here (which now seems so bland and uncreative), but those stories (sigh) capture some of my favorite moments in life. I returned to Paris with my Paris in 2011 as part of my graduation trip, then again in 2012 with Sasha, at the tail end of our Europe vacation (pictures here). Oh gosh, here I go again… Kayak.com time. Next trip must be booked!

It’s been awhile since I’ve compiled my favorite looks, so there’s more than just one week to catch up on. The outfits below are absolutely spot on. Love them all! I’m genuinely not sure I could choose just one favorite.
Brigitte Buckholtz was in my high school graduating class and is now an international model, currently living in Turkey. I follow her on Instagram and am constantly jealous of her global travels. She recently had a gorgeous Koray Parlak shoot in Turkey’s Marie Claire – I love these photos so much. That cross body one piece is to die for.
