American in Paris
Happy Memorial Day! Although were
not in the us right now, we're doing plenty of celebrating here in Paris. Before we headed out on vaycay Kev and I shot a holiday themed look, perfect for the occasion and our travels. I've been hoarding this "bonjour" shirt for months in anticipation of this shoot, and I love how the the shot and overall look came together. The skirt was a recent Zara find and one I'll be wearing all summer. The cut is super comfortable and perfect for tees and tops. When it comes to holiday dressing I always aim for comfort first and style second, because no one wants to be tugging on awkward hems or I'll-fitting clothing.
Europe Vacation, Paris Packing-List
I know what you're probably thinking, 10-days in carry-on? Are you kidding me? Trust me, that was my attitude when my Fiance told me we weren’t traveling with checked luggage to Europe. At first I was shocked, doubtful, and slightly annoyed but, after some researching (hello Pinterest) I learned it’s totally doable! Being that I’m naturally prone to packing way more than is needed, this was a great lesson for experimenting with mixing and matching and only packing what was totally necessary (i.e no ball gowns).
The Right Romper
Rompers, I love to hate them. They're that favorite sweater you love the look of, only to try it on to be tight or loose in all the wrong places. I'd compete finding a romper that actually fits to the feeling you get after running a race, pure euphoria.
Marriott Hotels Bourbon Battle
What do you get when you cross a landmark hotel with one tasty bourbon brand? The Marriott Bourbon Battle of course! I’m so excited to finally be able to share with you what I’ve been dropping hints about all month. During our stay in Kentucky, we had the pleasure of experiencing the kick-off of what will be a five-city tour to crown the ultimate bourbon cocktail craftsman. As a bourbon lover and general cocktail connoisseur (as in consumer) seeing the four contestants battle to create the ‘top cocktail’ was an absolute blast!
Moto & Striped
When it comes to dresses, fit n’ flare is my go-to style! The silhouette is incredibly slimming and is great for this time of year. This button-down style from ASOS has a vintage feel and surprisingly enough vertical stripes actually work with the dress instead of against it.
Maker's Mark Breeze, Derby Cocktail
What's better on a hot May afternoon than a refreshing cocktail? A fresh orange infused Maker's Mark breeze! With the derby on the horizon, place your bets on this winning cocktail. Your taste buds will delight in this craft mix of Maker's Mark Bourbon, Fresh oranges, triple sec and ginger ale.
