a travel and style blog
Oh, hey—Happy Sunday! The blog has been a bit quiet, which means life has picked up the pace again. Among other things, our time lately has been spent planning a trip to Spain and Italy next month with Michael’s family. This is probably the shortest timeframe in which we’ve booked a longer trip like this, …
A Journal on a Wednesday? Sure, why not, since I seem to have completely lost track of what day it is! If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you probably already know that Michael and I are still in Raleigh, even though we were scheduled to return home on Monday. Our flight from Raleigh back …
Where did August go? This month has passed in a blur, but Michael and I have one more flight ahead of us before it turns September. We just booked a flight to Raleigh for Labor Day weekend – we’ve been so busy that I totally forgot about the holiday, and by yesterday cheap flights were …
Whoa. It feels a bit like I fell off the face of the earth there. Life has been really hectic lately and I haven’t had as much time for this space as I would have liked. But that’s just how things go sometimes, you know? This post contains affiliate links and I may receive a …
Happy August! I keep seeing this meme everywhere, and it feels very accurate. Things have been busy around our house lately. This weekend alone, we’re packing for our trip to Cartagena, baking a cake for Michael’s sister’s birthday, tackling sewing and household projects, and trying to consolidate some of our office and kitchenware (all in …
Happy Saturday! It’s pretty yucky outside today, but even if it weren’t dreary and rainy it would be too hot to go outside anyway. I’m choosing to take this as an excuse to try a new sewing project and to snuggle up with a book (I also would not be against sneaking in a nap …
It’s my favorite day of the week! I woke up early this morning and dove right back into my current book for a bit before making coffee and heading to the gym. During the week I set my alarm as late as possible, and I always really enjoy those few quiet moments in bed when …
It’s a beautiful day! (I mean, any day we book a flight is suddenly brighter). Our anniversary is next month (we’ve been dating for eleven years, which totally boggles my mind), and as always, Michael and I are skipping any gifts in favor of taking a trip. When searching for fares, we found great deals …
Greetings from Charlotte (and if you’re from the U.S., I hope you had a great Fourth of July)! Michael and I are currently sitting in a coffee shop waiting for our pour overs, and it seems like a great time to pause and share this week’s links. This post contains affiliate links and I may …
Happy Saturday (or rather, #Caturday, as we’re headed over to my parents’ house later today to cat-sit for their two new kittens)! It’s been a blissfully-unexciting week around here, and Michael and I are soaking it in. I don’t even imagine we’ll feel the Sunday Scaries tomorrow, as we’re only working three days this week …
