Stata Center, MIT by Frank Gehry

March 13, 2015

Have I ever mentioned that half my close and extended family are engineers? No? Well, now you know. We have every specialty you can think of: civil engineers, architects, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, rural and surveying engineers…we missed out on chemical engineers, but you get the point. And me? Oh I’m the black sheep…I studied Business Administration with and MSc on IT&Management and a part-time course in Fashion Design, just because… When I was a kid and we travelled in Europe I got to see many engineering/construction projects like the Øresund Link between Denmark and Sweden or the glass dome of the…

3 Days in New York City

January 9, 2015

Last week I showed you some snippets from New York City and mainly the festive decorations, so now it’s time for a proper photo diary about the places I (re)visited and the restaurants that I dined! Oh yes, food is important for me in NYC because during my first visit I had a hard time finding decent (meaning non fast food) places to eat, except for the ones that my friends had recommended! But this time I was prepared and I had a few favorite from the first time! So brace yourselves and hop on board because this is going to…

Festive New York City

January 2, 2015

Hello and Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best for 2015! If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw that I spent the last few days of 2014 in New York City (although I rang the New Year back in Boston)! It was not my first time in the city, but seeing it all lit up and decorated was a unique experience! Of course I have many photos and tips to share from my visit, but this post is about the decorations that I liked the most: – the windows of Bergdorf Goodman in 5th avenue inspired by…

Christmas Decorations Around Boston

December 18, 2014

With only one week till Christmas you bet that decorations are in full swing here in Boston! From the North End to Back Bay and over to Somerville where I live there are lights everywhere. And well, Christmas lights (more than any other kind of decorations) are my favorite! So this post is filled with lights and decorations that I came across in my wanderings in Boston and beyond! You can pop in my Instagram feed as well to see more as I tend to shoot and share while walking to and from my yoga classes!

Exploring Boston: South End

December 3, 2014

  South End is probably my favorite neighborhood at Boston. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the area  has an abundance of Victorian townhouses (the largest historic district in the US). Maybe it has to do with the small parks surrounded by brick English style houses. Maybe it’s the small stores one encounters throughout the area. I can pinpoint exactly what it is, but I like it! I initially visited the area after walking around Chinatown and Theater District on a hot September day. But when the time came for me to review my photos, none made…

Exploring Harvard Square

November 27, 2014

  Harvard Square in Cambridge was one of the first places I visited since arriving in Boston. I wanted to see that world famous university which stands here from the 17th century. Now the founders of the university won’t be happy when they find out that I was disappointed. You see, I kind of expected to see Gothic architecture, like Cambridge (UK) has. Well, Harvard hasn’t any Gothic architecture bar from the Memorial Hall, which has some Gothic elements. Needless to say, it’s my favorite building in the area!!! Ok, joking aside, I really enjoy walking through Harvard Yard. It is…

A Night at Harvard Art Museums

November 17, 2014

I’ve made a habit of attending museums after dark in the past few years. First it was  Musee d’Orsay , then the British Museum and now Harvard Art Museums. The latter was a special occasion though, as they re-opened just yesterday after undergoing major renovation led by renowned architect Renzo Piano. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see and hear his speak about the renovation, his concept and his willingness to create a public space within the museum itself. He calls this space “Piazza” and indeed the museums atrium, which also lets natural light come in, does…
