Exceptional Beaune

IMG_6110

Hello again from Beaune!  Whenever Trevor and I travel we seem to find ourselves in once in a lifetime situations.  And this day was no exception.  We met up with a friend for lunch that we met last time we were in France.  He speaks very little English, and we speak very little French.  So needless to say, our conversations involve large gestures and what looks like a game of charades! Our friend surprised us and asked if we would like to meet one of his friends who is something of a wine distributor.  We drove up to the currently closed distributor’s office, wondering if we would ever be seen again.  He was nice enough to host us on his day off and open his doors.  The next few hours were spent drinking bottles that I had the feeling were exceptional!  When we asked our friend exactly what the distributor friend did he explained, “He finds exceptional wines for exceptional people”.  Needless to say we were blown away by the little bit of exceptional wine he shared with us.  So here’s a little taste of our exceptional visit to Beaune and the wonderful people we met!IMG_5909 IMG_5910IMG_5916Exceptional Beaune- Dress: Scoop // Bracelets: Alexander Mcqueen Skull Bracelet (also love Alexander Mcqueen Gold_tone Twin Skull Bracelet!), Nike Fuel Band, Silver Custom Bracelet, E.Kammeyer Accessories Tassel Bracelet // Necklace: E.Kammeyer Accessories Tassel Necklace // Sunglasses: Prada // Nail Polish: Base: Shellac, Glitter Tip: JINsoon // Lip Color: Napoleon Perdis Lip Butter

Fashionable Origami- Travel Style

IMG_5930

When in France, drink wine!  And that is exactly what we did on this leg of the trip!  My fiance came up with the great idea to take a little detour while in France to Beaune.  Beaune is known as the wine capital of Burgundy.  And let me tell you, it is!  We spent 3 amazing days of sleeping overlooking grape vines, driving through tinny streets filled with wine producers and eating as much escargot as we could get our hands on!!  Here’s one of my favorite looks from one of our fabulous nights out.  I found the dress at one of my favorite European retails, COS.  I absolutely loved  how it was like fashionable origami, this beautiful piece that was intricately folded to perfection!  The dress has amazing structure, and travels well to boot!  Paired perfectly with simple accessories, a great red lip, and of course, some knock out heels!

Easy Paris Style

IMG_5648

While in Paris my fiance and I were on serious wedding planning duty.  As we’re getting married about an hour outside of Paris we were florist hunting on this particular day.  Needless to say by the beautiful bouquet this particular florist sent us home with, this may be the guy!  I can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon than looking at beautiful flowers and walking through the amazing parks of Paris.  The look was easy Paris style, something chic and walking friendly!

French Style

Summer is here and for me that means time to travel!  My fiance and I were back to Europe for 10 days this month and of course had to stop in Paris.  Paris is everything to me, every time I’m there it’s like being home.  All I want to do is wander the streets, eat at sidewalk cafes, and shop The Marais.  French style is a hot topic right now, so here’s a peak at one of my favorite outfits from our days in the city of lights.

Airy Chic Dressing- Travel Style

Now don’t get me wrong, I was very excited about the sun in The Rivera Maya but with the sun comes some serious heat!  The heat definitely called for some airy chic dressing.  Add a dash of distressed denim and wedge Louboutin espadrilles along with one of Charlotte Olympia’s cheeky lucite clutches and you have the perfect vacation look!
