Quand il fait trop froid pour une robe qui tourne, un trench qui tourne fonctionne aussi bien pour les photos ! ✨

When it’s too chilly for a twirly dress, it helps to have a twirly trench! As you may have noticed, I’m usually quite practical with my photo outfits and just take photos in whatever I’m already wearing. Of course, on mornings when it’s stil freezing temperatures outside and I want to look more spring-y, this can be problematic. A swingy trench coat gives the movement I want without freezing my a** off! ✨

(maybe if they can’t find me behind these balloons, I don’t actually have to get another year older 🙈)(wait, did last year’s birthday even count?!)

In all seriousness, I’m entering the home stretch to 30 and feeling very glad that I have one more year to get my shit together before the next decade of my life begins. There’s so much I dream of doing this year, and despite the current circumstances, I feel very fortunate to have incredible people around me to lift me up when needed and pull me back to earth when necessary. Plus, well, the backdrop ain’t too shabby. ✨

Last day of 28. Can’t say I’ve completely escaped this funk I’ve been in recently, but these cherry blossoms sure are giving me a reason to smile 🌸

April 1st, again, and a photo from October 2020. Missing life and Parisian terraces in the shadow of Gothic churches. ✨

Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don’t look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you ✨
One year on. I took a similar picture right before the first lockdown was announced, and now here we are again, albeit in what I’m calling “lockdown lite”. Not a whole lot else to say besides hang in there, everyone- we’ll get there eventually ☀️

New confinement in Paris starting Saturday, and the news that we’ll be locked down again for my birthday 😥 staying positive is starting to become very mentally taxing, so here are some colorful balloons in front of a happy yellow van that I hope will make you smile as much as I did 🎈

About Me

Hi, I'm Emily! Storyteller and endlessly curious, I love to travel but I also love getting to know the heart of a city. Since 2014, I've called Paris home and have learned the ins and outs of the city, as well as exploring around Europe. Here I share my favorite discoveries, expat and visitor advice, and photo diaries from my travels.
