Color Change

I went in for a touch-up at the salon yesterday, but then my stylist and I decided that we’d do something a little different for summer.  I’m a natural blonde, usually with long mermaid locks – I had butt-length hair by the time I was three – and I’m not big on experimenting or making […]

Top of the Crop

Before coming back to Boston, we spent two days in Athens.  It was so different from Mykonos; it’s hard to believe they’re part of the same country!  Honestly, I preferred the beaches and white alleyways of Mykonos – Athens is much hotter, louder, and dirtier.  But Athens is filled with rich ancient history, and I […]

Mood: Mykonos

The Greek island of Mykonos has been at the top of my travel wish list for years now, so I was beyond excited to finally be going there.  I’ve seen pictures, of course, but oh my-lanta, this place is so beyond anything you could dream up.  We stayed in a great Air BnB right in […]

Inspirations: Week 25

Hello, Boston!  My Greece trip was both amazing and insane, and I can’t wait to write about it.  But since today is Wednesday, Inspirations come first! I’ve always loved the 4th of July.  I grew up in Boston, about a mile away from the Esplanade, where the Boston Pops would put on their Fireworks Spectacular. […]

Greece Photo Diary: Straight to the Beach

I’ve written before about how much I love the beach; growing up summering on Cape Cod and living in Tel Aviv, it’s in my DNA!  But I’m in a completely new world here in Greece.  The ocean is a clear, sparkling mix of blues and turquoise that takes my breath away.  I keep freaking out […]

Little Things: Al Fresco

I haven’t been posting many photos or photo diary posts lately, and I’ll tell you why: until about a week ago, I was stuck in a horrible job, where I worked 9-6 or longer every day of the week.  To make things even worse, I had a boss who did not like me, and made […]
