A list of places to eat, drink, shop, and enjoy the beauty that is Amsterdam.

my stay at the line hotel

Last week I had the dreamy experience of staying at the Line Hotel, Los Angeles...

my trip to jamaica

Last week, Adam and I both ended up having a week off from school/work, and we therefore decided why not take a totally random trip. We were craving beach, warmth, and tons of sun, which ultimately led us to Jamaica...

My stay at the beautiful, boutique Parisian hotel, Le Pigalle Paris. 

my trip to la

My beautiful adventures from driving around in a vintage car, being at Frank Sinatra's house for dinner, and running around LA looking for Parisian restaurants, all thanks to Bear Journal.

my stay at the ludlow

For my 20th birthday I was so lucky to stay at my absolute dream hotel; The Ludlow. With the marble counters, vintage gold accents, fluffy white duvet, and tub, I was in interiors heaven.

beach walk: the perfect summer bath line

This past Thursday I had the wonderful opportunity of collaborating with Maison Margiela Fragrances to get to know their new collection of bath products; Beach Walk, which will take you back to summers in the sand with coconuts, listening to waves, and freckly, warm skin.

my stay at hotel napoleon

Hi guys! So, as you probably know by now due to my too many posts, I went to Paris last week for Paris Fashion Week. It still doesn't feel real and honestly, if I hadn't pinched myself 100 times, I would still think it was an ethereal dream. Anyway, I really wanted to share with you guys where I stayed because it was so beautiful and I did not want the pictures to go to waste! I will also definitely have 2 more blog posts up this week more about my trip and showing you literally all the pictures I took (it might be a mama post). But, for now, here is the wonderful Hotel Napoleon in Paris. 

 

I seriously fell in love with all of the subtle, romantic details of the room. The beautiful marble, gold faucets, the cozy bed, the French books, the stunning view. Also, they use L'Occitane products in their bathrooms! Get any more perfect than that. This hotel just was so effortlessly Parisian to me. It truly made our stay so enjoyable and it was a lovely relaxing place to go home to after bustling Paris exploring. Also, their breakfast was to die for. And the hotel is located right by the Arc de Triomphe, which we had a view of from our balcony. Just simply beautiful. If you're interested you can go to their site here. Their hotel staff was honestly the nicest ever, too.
I hope you like these photos and there is definitely more to come! Even though I am so sad because I'm home and literally getting back into the grind of things with so much school work, looking back on Paris pictures is making me feel so lucky and happy. Thank you for all your sweet wishes and I will be back here with another post soon!Xoxo,Christie

my weekend in Boston

  Hi guys! As you all probably know by now just because of my overload of pictures (as well as the blogpost named 'packing for Boston' on here)...I went to Boston this weekend with my man, Adam, to visit one of my high school best friend's and to scratch visiting Beacon Hill off my Autumn bucket list. But let me tell you, Boston is seriously way more than that. 

There was something just so beautifully nostalgic about it all, and different from the nostalgia you feel in New York City. It was thin sidewalks with cracked red bricks, tons of vintage bikes with brown and white details, tumbling red-and-yellow leaves against old brownstones. It was literally all my wishful vibes in a nutshell.

 First off, we ended up staying in an Airbnb for our trip! It had 4 floors, a library, wonderfully classic fireplace, an antique tub, and rustic wooden floors. Here is the link just in case you wanted to book a trip and needed a cheaper yet beautiful place to stay (but only if you are familiar with Airbnb/staying with other guests).

Now, let's get into the photos of Boston! This will basically be an overload of the photos I took and will be posting in the next months on Instagram because I can't seem to let go of the beauty. All these photos were taken in either Beacon Hill (where are those brownstones are), the North End, the Commons, or elsewhere that I wouldn't even know of if it wasn't for my best friend. If you want to know where a specific photo was taken, just comment below and I will try my best to tell you exactly where!

A beautiful coffee shop you must visit. It's really busy though so plan accordingly! 

I'm sorry he is just so handsome... 

And that is it! This whole trip just ended up making me feel so inspired and happy. Again, if you want any recommendations/specific places just let me know! Hope you guys enjoyed!

Xoxo,
Christie
