Joshua Tree National Park is one of California's most famous National Parks, thanks to the unique look of its namesake, the Joshua tree. But it's not simply a case of rocking up and getting out of your car to snap a photo. Joshua Tree is all about getting out into...
We had some seriously delicious food in Cinque Terre, but we also went to a couple places that ended up being touristy and bland (with crappy service to boot). You won’t find those places on this best restaurants in Cinque Terre list, and frankly we were led there by...

I’ll be honest, I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Copenhagen. It was the last leg of our Eurotrip, and kind of a random pick for us. Copenhagen wasn’t necessarily a place that had been on my bucket list, but we were looking for one last city to...
It's officially summer but it was still a bit gloomy when I shot these pics in SF. That June gloom... I'm still pulling out some of my favorite dresses, even if I'm stuck at home and have no where to wear them out to. I've been receiving some DMs on Instagram asking...
I can't believe these photos are over a year old! I shot them in May last summer when I was with my family in Rome. Looking at these photos makes me both happy and sad at the same time. Happy because we had such an awesome trip in Italy together and it's a really...
Last week I was in the mood to do some shopping for new swimsuits, so I hopped on over to Target to see what new arrivals they had online! I love Target's swimwear because they always have cute, trendy pieces that last me for years, and of course at super affordable...

It's been a minute since I've shared an outfit post! I had this one sitting in my drafts from the beginning of the year. The pink snakeskin bodysuit and paper bag pants are both from Revolve, and I love this combo of a tight and edgy bodysuit + loose and chic pants. I...

Earlier this year (back when we could travel and attend events), I went to a talk at Alt Summit titled: Women are Magic. It was all about period/cycle tracking and journaling, and using this as a way to get to know your body better. The talk also went into using the...
Last month a dear friend of mine from grad school got married. Both the bride and groom are Indian, and since we'd been to an Indian wedding before we semi-knew what to expect—beautiful, colorful outfits, a morning ceremony and evening reception, and tons of delicious...
One of the areas of our house that I'm super excited to style is our wet bar! I never imagined I'd have a wet bar lol but here we are! While the rest of our first floor is going to be more neutral, we've decided to have fun with this space and update it with tropical...

Our master bedroom is 0% set up in terms of decor and a new paint job, but at least I've got my makeup vanity organization situation on point! Besides our bed, this was the first piece of furniture I got set up and I'm loving having a dedicated space to both store and...
Fourth of July Champagne Bucket I adore the Fourth of July—of course for the festive red, white, and blue outfits—but also because it provides an excuse to hide teeny sparklers everywhere. You won’t have trouble finding red, white, and blue appetizers, or even star...
