I can’t believe I forgot to blog about Sevilla~ one of the most enchanted places on earth

1. Twirled around in a maxi dress all weekend and sipped on sangria- felt like a spanish princess

2. Got to giggle and galavant throughout my weekend with one of my best friends, Carlay

3. Learned new Spanish words…and phrases ;)

4. The colors brightened my life…I felt revived every time we stepped foot outside!

5. Oh, and of course, gelato twice a day… I feel like it’s better in Spain? odd…gusti preferito= crema with chocolate and almonds

6. some interesting late-night encounters…on the steps of the apartment complex. (carlay…haha)

7. Sevilla= a dream. What an adventure…such rich culture. I thrived off of the experience… transitioning into my real life here in Parma…

Two words that have stood for a lot in the past month or so…

…time for new beginnings… tumbling into springtime….i promise ;)

PARIS…

1. wished a videocamera was rolling when nick and i reunited at l’opera in paris…romantic, touching, and filled with giggles of joy

2. booked it to starbucks to get an iced green tea…divas.

3. went out to the champ de lee say…scoped lots of models on the “runway” of the street…we felt famous…and were still in shock of the beauty of the street….louis v was a museum itself!

4. drank red wine and admired paintings adorning the walls of andrew’s borj wah house…felt fancy…and french…frenchy.

5. no sleep

6. moulin rouge. sang “come what may” all along the way to see it…

7. ate crepes, drank mulled wine….and sat next to Notre Dame…saw a dachshund.

8. went vintage shopping…colt + nick= gay best friends.

9. bought nothing

10. ate hamburgers, brie, and french fries= french…i guess?

11. spoke zero french…made it blatantly clear

12. stayed up all night to watch the sunrise from sac re croix…teary eyed and deleeerrrreeeous… it was magical.

no words can describe our friendship. it’s forever. nick zwolinski…my lifelong friend…a bond that will last forever. mon cherie ;)

I HAVE BEEN SLACKING ON THE TEXT PART OF THE BLOG AGAIN… i guess i have just found myself infatuated with the photography side of tumblr… i have been stalking everyone else’s tumblrs… and neglecting to write in/update my own!

1. Milano- came at the perfect time after my 21st birthday week…enough said… we had a fun, easy, and festive girls weekend (with some eye candy ;) )… Liana, Serafina, and I trekked around Milano with Northface backpacks, parkas, and heavy boots…. among the model-esque figures that adorned their arms with gucci purses, their shoulders with real fur, and their feet with stilettos…we were a hit at the Armani Hotel.

2. Mantova- such a giggly, gloomy, slushy (last) day… We went to see some architecture/ some…elaborate frescos in the Palazzo Te (Pleasure Palace?)…. it was a “bittersweet” day… final day with Rockstar Rocky… and our “rocky talkies”… but, I have to say, this was one of my favorite days… my friend Conor and I discovered we have similar taste palettes! such a connection. I am so excited to celebrate mands’ (mandolina’s) birthday in a few weeks… I love our “crew”. So simple so easy so silly such a famiglia comfy cozy already… I gave lots of scalp massages on the ride home on the bus…

IM READY FOR SUNSHINE. ENOUGH OF WEARING BRIGHT COLORS, I WANT TO START SEEING SOME BRIGHT COLORS… Primavera… “vera” are you?

<3 overall, glam weekend. “impossible” by whitney houston and brandy was stuck in my head the whole time…. ;)
