I wasn’t expecting to take so much time off blogging but between the move and getting settled in, and having my sister-in-law and baby nephew visit, life has been packed and blogging has taken a back seat. We’re finally moved into our new place and while I’m missing my sis and nephew {we had a blast exploring London and Paris!} I’m slowly getting back into my normal routine. I wanted to share a few pictures of what my time off has looked like: travel, family, unpacking + getting settled, and loving Springtime in London.

P.S. Can you believe we moved to London one year ago? Time flies!

A few iPhone pictures I wanted to share on the blog: mostly some leftovers from Paris, but some from regular life too. ;) I bought the September issue of Vogue Paris and am attempting to read it, but I mostly  love the gorgeous imagery. :) Fall has finally arrived here and I can’t wait to start wearing coats and sweaters {although apparently fall and winter are sort of long and brutal here — wah!}. Pulled out one of my faves, by Carven, that will hopefully make the cold weather a little more bearable.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

{^^If you’re in Paris you must try Frenchie To Go. The cutest place with a fun crowd and delicious food.^^}

Already missing this city — thank goodness we have a short trip back planned near Christmastime. Until then, Paris!

We are loving spending time in Paris {how could you not}? We are here through Thursday, but I wanted to post a few photo updates of our trip so far. Highlights include some incredible meals and lots of wine, cream puffs at Odette, locking our love on the Pont des Arts {cheesy, I know}, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, and of course the Eiffel Tower. More updates to come!
