Get ready for a long post, because I think Paris happens to be one of the most photogenic cities in the wold, so of course I got snapping! Last month I had a really special and memorable birthday weekend in Paris spent with my husband. A few days filled with incredible food, stunning sights, new discoveries and old favorites…and a little shopping too! Here’s what we got up to during our long weekend in Paris:

Lindsay and I are fast friends from work and have our own dinner club - LINDA (for Lindsay and Brenda, of course) and this trip to Paris was a celebration of our tenth outing. Yes, our dinner club's occasionally indulgent - and that's the point! 

It's fun to see all the adventures I've had, look at the progression of the blog, and reflect on what a year it's been! Without further ado, here are my top picks and what they mean to me! 

Paris is one of my favorite cities - for this trip we did all the classics, plus discovered a few new spots that we'll certainly return to again and again - see the full itinerary for a perfect week in Paris.

I love the 'Hey, it's okay' page in Glamour magazine, and after some silly memories from our trip to Paris, I was inspired to create a few of my own! So, here goes.

My best tip for Versailles? Skip the chateau altogether (and the lines and stress that come with it) and instead head straight to the gardens as soon as the open.
