Other than a turkey avocado sandwich with walnut pesto, there’s nothing I like better during my lunch break than a wee bit ‘o window-shopping.  So when the folks over at Trinity Place Department Store invited me over to take a look around their new digs located just steps away from my office, I jumped at the opportunity.

Trinity Place has a great mix of funky, moderately priced clothing and accessories, and the selection reminded me very much of some of the fun high-street stores that I visited during my recent trip to London.  While there was an array of cute dresses on display (mainly for casual day wear), my eyes were immediately drawn to this bold graphic sweater.  It’s definitely a departure from my standard fare, but I love it to pieces (and I may or may not have worn it 3 days in row already).

If you’re in the area (the store’s right down the street from Century 21 near World Trade Center), I highly recommend stopping by and taking a look.  The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, and they carry a lot of unique statement pieces.  In addition to TONS of girly frocks, shoes, handbags and accessories, they also carry menswear and a small selection of furniture and home goods.  For those of you unable to make it to NYC, no need to fret… they also have an online shop!

Last week, my husband and I celebrated our 8th anniversary.  After our initial thoughts of, “holy crap, we’re getting OLD!”, we enjoyed an amazing dinner at Jean-Georges.  I even had frog legs for the very first time!

Closet Confection: We’ll Always Have Paris

After spending a few days in London, we jumped on the Eurostar and made our way to the Paris.  My high school and college french skills were a little rusty, but we managed to get our point across and had a fantastic time in the City of Light.

Paris AirBnB Apartment

Rather than go with a traditional hotel, we decided to rent an apartment through AirBnB.com… BEST. DECISION. EVER. For the same price as a week at a Holiday Inn (no joke), we wound up with beautiful accommodations in the 2nd arrondissement.

Not gonna lie… a major focus of our trip was FOOD! I did a round of Whole 30 before I left, but I happily scrapped my diet and ate to my heart’s content while I was away.

And of course, after dinner there’s always dessert!

 

place des vosges4

Place Des Vosges is touted as one of the most beautiful squares in the world. And after seeing it in person, I’m inclined to agree.

Walking shoes were definitely in order as we spent hours each day meandering the streets and visiting beautiful parks and squares. There was something beautiful to see at every turn, and we didn’t want to miss a thing.

We spent almost an entire day at the Musée du Louvre on our first visit to France a few years ago but still only managed to only scratch the surface of its treasures.

All of the walking and exploring pretty much had me beat, but I managed to sneak in a quick catnap at the Musée d’Orsay.

No visit to Paris would be complete without the obligatory picture in front of the Eiffel Tower!

I was not prepared for how breathtaking the view would be atop the Eiffel Tower… nor how cold it would be! Temps were in the 50s that day, but it was snowing when we got to the top.

Thanks for sharing vacation memories with me. I hope you enjoyed it!
