When I was in Napa a month ago, I did my hair and makeup trial. I loved my makeup, and at the time, really liked my chignon updo. However, after looking at photos and showing it to my friends and family, everyone has agreed that it’s not really me. So, I created a Pinterest account and started scouring the site for inspiration. The photos above are some of my favorites. How did you pick your hair style?

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!

July Fourth is next weekend (hallelujah!), and I’m trying to decide what I’m going to wear. I’ve ordered the Tory Burch Miller sandals (#9) after borrowing my sister and my mom’s for years. I also have the wedge version of the J. Crew pump (#10), so that’s in contention. I have all of the Kendra necklaces (yes, obsessed), so now it’s just the dress I need. I’m probably going to take advantage of J. Crew’s 30% off sale on all summer items (Code: SUMMER3o).
What are you wearing for next week’s celebrations?

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!

Oh So Beautiful Paper just announced a summer cocktail series with St. Germain (um, what? dream collaboration come true). Nole has been posting fun St. Germain drinks for awhile, but these new recipes look amazing. I’m not drinking until the wedding, but you’d better believe that I’ll be trying all of these post-July 19! The illustrations and photography are also incredible.
