Evolution: PFW September 2019

It's fashion season again, and I thought that this time around it would be fun to see the evolution of my style since moving to Paris. I was looking at photos the other day and couldn't believe how much I have changed. Not just in style, since its always evolving and changing, but also in [...]

Stepping back to Medieval Times : Provins, France

Living in Paris is such a thrilling experience. There is the bustle of the city, the people out on the streets, cafés on every corner... but sometimes it can get quite exhausting and we "Parisians" need a break (am I even considered to be a Parisienne yet?).  A few weeks ago I started looking for [...]

French Stereotypes : True vs. False

It is that time of year again: Tourist Season. I have undoubtedly been guilty of acting as the overly, loud American enthusiast of Paris.

Where do I even begin to explain the good that tango has done for me? To dance with people I don’t know cheek to cheek? From the outside, tango is sensual. On the inside, it’s so respectful. Tango has made me feel free, proud of my body and the movements it can do, it’s made me feel sexy though my body isn’t what I wish it was. Tango has opened worlds inside of me that I didn’t know existed. Maybe one day I’ll be able to perfectly write how it has changed me. Thank you Tango ♥️ Swipe for weekend snaps from Torino This is 27, taking it one aperol spritz at a time 🤌🏼 In wildest dreams I never dreamed of this (V’s version) ♥️ I may no longer be there, but our story will never be over my love 🤍 It’s all about finding one’s self ✈️ Do the shit that scares you. Be courageous. Firenze streets have my heart ♥️ Dancing tango for me is a mix of emotions. It’s representative of my Spanish grandparents, who always told me I should dance something like this and who I would spend hours watching the Spanish version of Dancing With the Stars with. It’s also a form of therapy and healing. “Women come to Italy and fall in love with an Italian. I came to Italy and fell in love with tango,” I told one of my instructors.
