3 Days in New York City

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

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…

DIY statement Necklace with double braid

The Idea A statement necklace is my favorite accessory, but if you’re a regular reader, you already know that! Also it’s a perfect way to elevate the simplest shirt of dress! An ideal add on for Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties I dare say! Making a statement necklace that would include embroidery floss and some kind of (faux) bling has been in my mind for a long time. Specifically since I bought a statement necklace last year. It also helped that I found a similar DIY in Honestly WTF. But you see I aimed for a much more bolder…

2 Days in Montreal

Sooo…two weeks ago I packed up my little pink suitcase, took the warmest clothes I have and traveled to Montreal to visit my friends! It was not my first time there, but this mini trip was ideal for revisiting some favorite spots and discovering new ones. Oh and eat delicious food!! My friends are experts at getting me in places with yummy food and desserts and as I say, I have to fast for a few days before getting there! My trip to Montreal (by bus) was an adventurous, to say the least as there was a snowstorm that day in…

Exploring Boston: South End

  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

  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…
