jetsetters: @davidsbeenhere
Hey, team! How’s it hanging? We’re having a little bit of trouble getting into the groove of this week. Luckily, we have David of David’s Been Here here to help. Hear, hear! In our short time of learning about Mr. Been Here, we’ve learned that David really has been here, there and everywhere — including, according to his homepage, to 869 cities. At first we were like “whoa, baby!” But to be honest? We’ve never actually counted up our total number of cities visited! It seems cumbersome. SO what we’re saying is, David is very dedicated to the cause. And,…

paradise for the lazy traveler: four days in st. thomas
I have to admit, it took me longer than intended to sit down and write this due to the severe post-vacation blues I’ve been experiencing after returning from my Caribbean getaway. But who can really blame me? Four days in paradise, come and gone so quickly. Let’s go back to the beginning. After what seemed like an endless and bitterly cold winter in New York City, I couldn’t have been more ready to escape the city and head somewhere warm. Cue my knight in shining armor: Frenchman’s Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort. Having never been to St. Thomas,…

style spotter: springtime in nyc
Ohhh glorious springtime! Why did it take you SO LONG to arrive in New York City this year? I’m willing to overlook your absence so long as you promise to stick around for the next few months. Deal? Deal. Now that the sun is shining and I no longer have to wear five to ten layers just to run out for coffee, I have spring shopping on the brain. What WILL I wear to brunch of Sunday now that my winter wardrobe is getting packed up and put away? Most importantly: I’ve been oogling these d’orsay flats for months (chellooo…

jetsetters: nikki of the pin the map project
This week’s Jetsetter is a girl after our own heart(s). For one, she’s based in New York. For two, she’s balancing her wanderlust with a full-time career, which is a conundrum we both know well. Most importantly, however, is this sentence in one of her recent posts: “If I had to give a name to my financial nemesis that name would be Duane Reade.” CHA, YEAH. HELLO. SAME. No lie, when the romantic was in town, she dropped, like, one bajillion dollars in that place. It happens, and it is a real problem, and Nikki of The Pin the Map…

parisian perfection on the île saint-louis
At this very instant, as I type, the wino is lounging on a beach. Book in one hand, cocktail in another, getting tan. Meanwhile, I’ve been living it up on an island just slightly different than the wino’s St. Thomas. I’ve been in my very own little apartment on Paris’s Île Saint-Louis. (Sidenote, do you think Saint Louis & Saint Thomas were buds?*) So, despite my jealousy over her Vitamin Sea, it hasn’t been all bad. After our #LTnyc madness, one of my best friends from college crossed the Atlantic for a week in France. Along with showing her around…
