Rotterdam Day Trip + Visit to Kinderdijk

A windmill at Kinderdijk in The Netherlands

The Netherlands’ second city doesn’t get nearly the amount of attention it deserves – which makes it a great day-trip destination. The city’s industrial and young, cool vibe provides an alternate view of the Dutch – one you might miss if you only stay in Amsterdam. Yet, its proximity to Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage …

Miami Beach Photo Diary

Alyssa walks along Miami Beach

My “year of Florida travels” continues! …sort of. Michael and I savored our only weekend at home during the month of September, which meant we needed to squeeze another Florida destination somewhere else on the calendar. Thankfully our flight to Europe was booked out of Miami, and who am I to deny these perfectly-aligned circumstances? …

Fall Travel Style Wish List

A pair of sneakers set in fall leaves with text overlay reading: travel style wish list FALL

Happy Fall! Michael and I are currently in the middle of our first travel in Europe during Autumn—we usually travel in the other shoulder season during May and early June.

Traveling Light: New York City Packing List

A sofa piled with items packed for NYC in the Fall

And I’m back! Michael and I usually try to visit New York City at least once a year, and quite unbelievably as of last week, we hadn’t been yet this year. Well, we remedied that over the past weekend and spent three days eating and shopping to our hearts’ content. This post contains affiliate links …

*insert applause track here* We did it! We made it to the end of the Fall 10 x 10 and we made it to Friday! Is it just me, or has this week seemed exceptionally long? This post contains affiliate links Given that, let’s not make this week any longer. Here’s a look at Day …

Fall 10 x 10 – Day Nine

The home stretch! I’m pretty glad that tomorrow is the last day of the challenge (and also a casual Friday so jeans are in my forecast). Today was a typical Thursday; we had our staff meeting this afternoon, but the mood was a little different due to all of the things happening in our state …

Fall 10 x 10 – Day Eight

The week is halfway over and the Fall 10 x 10 is three-quarters done! I wouldn’t say I’m feeling stifled with my choices, but I’m feeling a little antsy for some of my more fall-like items like boots and tights and my leather jacket. I don’t want to jinx it, but they are saying we …

YOU GUYS. We’re in the home stretch and the weather didn’t reach into the 80s today! Well, there are still three days left before the weekend and we’re supposed to warm back up again, but my Fall 10 x 10 challenge is nearly over. This post contains affiliate links I’m still feeling like I could …

And here we are again, Monday. Over the weekend I laundered all of my clothing items except for my jeans, which I try not to wash too frequently, and had access to the rest of my closet. I wore jeans on Saturday and Sunday (a distressed pair one day and a high-waisted pair in black …
