in a new york minute // an instagram guide to nyc
There’s no disputing it: social media — and Instagram in particular — is a blessing and a curse. We love it and we hate it and we love to love and hate it. While we could do without the spammy comments (“LoVe ThIs! Come follow me!”), follows from bots like @GetMoreFolowers558737, or, worst of all, the constant follows AND unfollows from engagement-starved bloggers, there’s still a lot to love. As travelers, Instagram is one of our top sources of wanderlust and inspiration. While Instagram is extra handy for researching new destinations, we’ve also recently found a new use. Lately, we’ve…

the lazy girls’ guide to @RueBaRue
As we get older — and, we’d like to think, wiser — we’ve learned to prioritize when it comes to travel-planning. Then, an app like @RueBaRue comes along and changes our minds. Previously, our planning went a bit like this. Once we settle on a destination, we spend our pre-trip time wisely. We find the perfect hotel (or villa or chalet or château, we’re not picky). We pick out a dream destination-specific wardrobe that we probably can’t afford. And then, we figure out what and where to eat and drink our days away. Us in Paris, not climbing the steps…

making & taking memories // a lomo’instant giveaway **NOW CLOSED**
This may surprise you, but when it comes to travel souvenirs, we’re not huge shoppers. We love to prep for a getaway with a shopping trip or two, but once we arrive, we’d rather splurge on wining & dining. Rather than destination-branded tchotchkes, we usually bring our memories home in the form of photos. Although, that’s probably pretty obvious if you’ve been reading here for awhile. Even so, we still want to tell you about our latest find! Enter: Lomography‘s Lomo’Instant camera. Unfortunately, while we always have the best intentions to print out said photos to adorn our walls… we…

weekend warriors // exploring the british countryside
With the romantic planting her feet firmly in London, it’s safe to say that many British reunions are in our future. But while we adore the capital city, we’ve been thinking lately that our next rendezvous should involve some branching out. We’re more than a little ready to head off on a roadtrip, exploring the British countryside. Unfortunately, we don’t have any concrete plans at the moment. But there is plenty of inspiration to be found throughout this fine island! There are so many places that make us dream of rubber boots and Harris tweed and jodhpurs and mixing plaids.…
