This place was basically made for Instagram.  It’s small but packs on the pretty and darling details in each and every corner.

I first traveled to the city of love and light six years ago.  I went by myself and took a group tour.  Although it was a great experience and I met people that would later be good friends, it definitely felt rushed.

Two weekends ago I visited my friends in West Palm Beach for a quick getaway.  So Flo stays hot and the trick about style and dress in these parts is too look like you’re on a permanent vacation.  Done and done.

Initially I’ve stayed away from the bare shoulder trend because I loath wearing a strapless bra but I’ve fallen in love with it’s relaxed, effortless feminine charm.
