Musical Monday

Last week was extremely busy, work seems to have taken over both Kevin and my life recently and on Friday we were craving time together. Although we were too tired to get dressed up and actually leave the house, we were still able to spend the evening together. We got into our pjs and watched old movies...it was a perfect night! Kev introduced me to this song and I have been listening to it on loop since then. I hope you like it! Have a great week, xo.

Luzern

Beautiful wild swans in Lake Luzern

On the morning of June 1, we arrived in Zurich, a place I had never been. Besides the airport, we did not see much of the city as we were exhausted and desperate to see my parents home.  An hour drive away, we arrived in a breathtaking little village, Luzern.  My parents' modern condo sits next to a traditional Swiss cottage and the whole city mirrors this surprisingly great contrast: old and new.  I instantly fell in love with their home, all of our furniture from Paris inside a house of windows overlooking a majestic lake surrounded by mountains.  The actual city of Luzern is picturesque, true to its's Swiss architecture, but filled with designer boutiques and modern restaurants.  We will definitely be back to see my parents soon!

 Us at delicious Opus restaurant (every table has it's own herb - we had a basil-mint cross breed)

 Amazing Essie nail bar at Globus (department store)

No city is ever complete until it has a Starbucks

Off we Go

Last week, my sister, my boyfriend, and I left on a European adventure. The adventure would be part family reunion, spending time in Luzern, Switzerland with my parents and part exotic getaway in Barcelona, Spain. (More to come on both of those destinations...)

Getting ready for a trip is always extremely exciting for me, I love seeing suitcases strewn about the house and feeling the buzzing excitement that runs through my veins as I pack.  This trip was special because after two years of dating long distance, it would be the first time that my boyfriend and I flew overseas together.  Not to mention that we were all overly excited for two weeks off from work. 

I decided to put together a little picture overview of our pre-vacation airport adventure.

Kevin's contradiction: Huge beer = vacation, but the Blackberry is still an extension of his arm.

Musical Monday

Yesterday afternoon, my mom arrived from Switzerland.  My sister, boyfriend, puppy, grandparents, and I all went to get her at the airport (our family really loves airport arrivals - don't ask), it was so nice to see her and have her close again.  Whenever my parents (or parent in this case) are close I always feel safe and complete - it feels like home!  

Hier après-midi, ma mère est arrivée de la Suisse.  Ma sœur, mon copain, Stella (ma chienne), mes grand-parents et moi sommes tous allés la chercher à l'aéroport (toute la famille adore les retrouvailles)! Quand mes parent(s) sont là, je me sens toujours entière et en sécurité - ça me rappelle notre ancienne maison. 

Pining Junkie

Pinterest has become my new vice,  I am on it ALL the time. When work takes over, it is so difficult to detach and relax, fortunately, Pinterest has been created to save the day. Nothing seems more appealing to me after a long day of work than PJs and Pinterest.  You can get completely sucked into this virtual pinboard and forget about time (and boyfriends), here are some of the outfits that I found to be particularly adorable last night!

Pinterest est devenu mon nouveau péché mignon, quand je ne suis pas au bureau, je navigue ce site rempli d'idées et d'inspiration - je suis accro! En rentrant chez moi le soir, je me mets en pyjama sur le canapé et je me perds dans cet univers virtuel incroyable.  Voici quelques photos centrées sur la mode que j'ai adoré hier soir!

Musical Monday

It was so nice out this weekend - sunny and warm with a perfect breeze.  While we were out walking along the canal, I had an overwhelming feeling that summer is near...it was amazing! Here is a song that reminds me of summer, I hope it warms up your Monday. Have a great week! 

La température était parfaite ce weekend - ensoleillé et chaud avec un petit vent rafraichissant.  Lorsqu'on se promenait sur les bords du canal, j'ai eu le sentiment que l'été arrivait à grand pas. Voici une chanson qui me rappelle l'été, j'espère qu'elle réchauffera votre lundi. Bonne semaine! 

The Force of Love

Contrary to last weekend, we have nothing planned for the next two days! I can't wait to sleep in, sip coffee, relax, and go on unplanned adventures. What more could you ask for?  Here are some things I'm loving at the moment.

Ce weekend, nous n'avons rien de prévu! J'ai hâte de dormir, flâner en pyjama et découvrir cette merveilleuse ville. Que du bonheur! Voici quelques choses que j'aime en ce moment.
