I don’t think you can say goodbye to Paris. Growing up i thought New York City was the greatest city in the world. My time in Paris has challenged this opinion deeply. I don’t know if i can pick between the two. While my boyfriend was visiting he got me this book from Shakespeare andContinue reading “Au Revoir Paris… until next time”

For one of our class projects we had to take pictures of random people walking down the streets of Paris and recognize trends that we saw within this series of photos. I honestly did not expect to see any trends jump out at me, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they did!Continue reading “Paris Winter Trends: bootleg edition”

I come to you with a short blog post, to update you on a trend I think is the next big thing. I present to you: denim on denim. For years this trend, known as the “Canadian Tuxedo” has earned glares and scoffs and insults. Although in the early 2000s it was rather popular, especiallyContinue reading “Don’t sleep on DENIMxDENIM”

One of the best parts of studying abroad in Paris was its central location. We were able to go pretty much anywhere, and for not that much money at all. We had plans to go to Dublin, Morocco, the South of France, Budapest, Lisbon and so many more places that were all cut short becauseContinue reading “Around the World in 80 Days (or 63…)”

Leaving Paris early was absolutely devastating. I felt that just as I was really understanding the city, and getting to know it from a truly local perspective, we had to leave. It was not a gradual goodbye or a mutual understanding, but happened all at once, a whirl wind of an adventure, whisked to theContinue reading “VIVE LA FRANCE”

I have been stuck at home for around 5 weeks now. My only escapes have been on drives, my mom fixated on limiting our exposure to the outside world. It’s easy to lose track of time, forget your focus, and lose your direction in times like this. It seems that my days are spent onContinue reading “Reflections from a quarantined world: my parents through me”

Studying in Paris has proven to be an incredible experience. Not only is there so much to see and do, but as students it provides a deep intellectual playground as well. With such a deep culture and rich history, the stories behind the city are as impressive and interesting as the city itself. Everyday IContinue reading “Where Art meets History makes Art”

At home I was never big on accessories. I always felt kind of ridiculous in them, or that I just simply wasn’t a person who could pull them off. I have necklaces I never take off, and occasionally will wear a belt, but that’s about all I stick to while at home. While being inContinue reading “THE WONDER OF HAIR ACCESSORIES”

I’ve always felt that fashion was dictated by the young. That the people who make or break trends are young people. High schoolers, teenagers, young adults- most susceptible to peer pressure and least affected by the way the world stifles creativity as you get older. In New York, it was high schoolers who ruled theContinue reading “The Kids Are Alright”
