We’ve just returned from the most magical long weekend in Amsterdam. I always say that I'll never love another city as much as London, but Amsterdam came oh so very close.

I'm happy to say that we were able to do everything on our list, plus find some unexpected gems along the way. Here's how we spent our long weekend in Amsterdam.

Better really (like, really) late than never, so here are a few photos from last summer when we flew out to Chicago for a family wedding. I was a bit nervous, as I'd be meeting quite a few of my husband's family members for the first time. And even more nervous because I hadn't yet chosen what to wear (or even brought a dress with me!).

Today's the beginning of a beautiful...series: Ten Things. Every so often, I'll pull together ten of my favorite finds from around the web, sometimes themed, like today, and sometimes not.

For the first edition, I'm talking ten things I'm packing in my suitcase for our upcoming trip to Tulum, Mexico.

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! 

From as soon as we landed through to our departure, our time was filled with great friends, food, and fun. Here's what we were up to during our long weekend in New York.

If I were to give an award for prettiest season, spring is easily the winner. In Notting Hill, just as the pretty pink cherry blossoms are starting to fall off the trees, the purple wisteria begins to bloom.

My favorite season in London is easily spring, particularly because of all the blooms - the prettiest early spring blooms (in opinion)? Camellias. 

A January visit to Copenhagen was bitter cold. Nevertheless, we powered through the cold and ended up having an incredible couple of days in one of the prettiest places that I've been. Here's what we were up to.

I've never stayed at a hotel with a more incredible view! With its whitewashed walls and buildings nestled in among the hills, this was everything I hoped a Santorini hotel would be.
