weekend warriors // chianti is for lovers
Without getting too mushy, this year has been one of our very best to date. I don’t say this lightly, because the competition is tough for that title. We’ve had a lot to celebrate as of late, and when we started to plan our upcoming anniversary, it was a no-brainer. We honeymooned in Italy, and few places could be so romantic. After our trip, I can officially confirm: Chianti is for lovers. Though the hubs and I arrived in London in 2014, it was in 2015 that we finally settled into our life here. Now, just over a year after…

a matter of life & death in italy’s lakes region
After five perfect days of sunshine and happiness way down south in Puglia, our motley crew of bloggers and husbands boarded a flight to Milan. One hour later, we deplaned to a light, cool drizzle, and mentally prepared ourselves for Italy’s lakes region. But because we weren’t quite ready to say our goodbyes, we hopped in our rental cars for one last adventure. Next stop: the city center for lunch at Eataly. I’ll admit. Having been to New York’s Eataly plenty of times, it seemed a little silly to go to one IN Italy, but nay! The place was packed…

confessions of an unintended italy addict
Entirely unexpectedly, 2014 has become the year of Italy. Before we came to INSEAD, the hubs and I knew we had about three week-long breaks, and one 3-week winter holiday. We mentally filled those weeks very quickly, and booked them nearly just as soon… and no where, not once, was Italy included in our 11-month plan. So then tell me, dear readers, how is this the third time I’m headed to Italy this year? First there was Rome, and most recently, I shaped up and shipped myself out to Capri for a few days with friends. You would think this…

style spotter: capri (+ a travel announcement!)
Well, well, well! Hello and happy Sunday! Or maybe Monday? I guess it all really depends on when you decide to read this, but that doesn’t change the main point, which is this: as I type, I am less than 12 hours away from boarding a flight for Capri, Italy. This trip is only about a week in the making, and just another example of why I love living in Europe. The hubs, along with a group of other fellow MBA-ers, is spending his week tied up in an intense timesuck of a class. Rather than hole up in the…

a perfect day at toscana saporita
It’s no secret that we’re food lovers. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a foodie–both because I think that term is silly and because I have been known to choose Shake Shack over Smith & Wollensky–but I definitely appreciate both eating and making good food. Much like doing my hair in a reasonable amount of time and getting over my fear of running in public in order to catch a train, this is something that has only been enhanced by our travels. When we were planning our honeymoon–and I use the term planning VERY loosely because we…
