Two years ago my husband and I embarked on arguably the most memorable and fabulous trip of our lifetime...our honeymoon!  After a few days in Athens (and before Santorini, Istanbul AND Paris, sigh...) we traveled to Mykonos, a magical little island situated in the Aegean Sea.  Our days were spent basking in the warm sun by the pool or oceanfront while being waited on hand and foot by the incredible staff at Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort (seriously, they don't allow you to lift a pinky), and we filled our evenings getting lost in the maze of Mykonos Town.  Gyros, the freshest fish and calamari and one too many Mythos beers sustained us during our stay here, and not one complaint was made. 

Here's a peek at our luxurious accommodations:

Can you say uh-mazing?

With its flawlessly beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife and world-class hotels, Mykonos embodies the essence of a romantic getaway.  

Somebody {cough, cough, sweet hubby of mine} take me back!

Today marks the First Day of Spring and there's nowhere I would rather be than PARIS!  Paris aka Le Ville de L'amour or "City of Love" happens to be one of my favorite cities in the world. It is the perfect place to walk around aimlessly and explore, for along almost every rue you will be greeted by a charming little bistro, patisserie and a trés chic boutique.  A croque madame and a glass of rosé and I am one happy girl!  Whether you are strolling along the Seine or strutting down the Champs Elysées (with a raspberry macaron from Ladurée and many shopping bags in tow if you are lucky) almost every sight in Paris is guaranteed to take your breath away.  The slightest glimpse of the Eiffel Tower peeking out from above the rooftops is sure to make your heart flutter, no matter how many times you have seen her.  Now that cherry blossoms are blooming all around Parc du Champ de Mars, she is even more spectacular...c'est magnifique! And the museums, oh the museums! You can't travel all the way to Paris without a visit to the Louvre, which is free on Sundays and Musée d'Orsay (my personal preference).  Nowhere else in the world can you marvel at some of the most famous and priceless works of art. Nowhere! 

Ahh Paris, tonight I will be dreaming of you... a bientôt, mon amour!

wanderlust wednesday | aspen.

I like to consider myself a wanderlust aficionado and a professional daydreamer of sorts. So every Wednesday I'll be highlighting a new place that's on my bucket list.  Close your eyes and come away with me!

For the first installment of this series, let's jet off to Aspen, Colorado!

Faux Fur Trapper Hat, ASOS, $11.87  |  MK Jemma Aviators, Nordstrom, $116.00  |  Knitted Aztec Cardi, Topshop USA, $84.00  |  Sorel Tofino Boot, Nordstrom, $149.95 

This swanky ski town known as a hotspot for the rich and famous is the perfect winter getaway for this Florida girl. I've never been skiing before so I'm not sure how long I will last on the slopes, but I won't have a problem dressing like a snow bunny and taking part in the aprés ski scene. A Hot Toddy or Irish Coffee sounds divine! After a long day on the mountain and some high fashion shopping on Main Street, come time to slumber I'll be laying my head at the St. Regis Aspen.  This contemporary hotel at the base of Aspen Mountain is just the perfect mix of lodge meets luxury.

Who's coming with me?
