SANTORINI – PART 2

Santorini is truly a magical place! In the previous post, I showed you a poolside look, but spending time in Santorini is not only about pools & beaches, it’s also about exploring the cities and that requires a whole different wardrobe! ;) And I suggest you pack accordingly b/c most clothes in Santorini (or rather most things in general) are very expensive on the island! What I would do: Explore Fira & Oia: walk alongside the roads that lead to the edge of the island, where you can admire the white building, blue dome churches and the stunning views of…

WHEN IN ROME

There are certain cities in the world so charming that you keep on coming back, that is the case for me with Rome (as it was Paris for that matter).

What I would do: I would grab a pizza and eat it while gazing at the Colosseum – far enough from the tourist cues, but close enough to…

FLORENCE TO TUSCANY’S COUNTRYSIDE

Every working chix needs a vacation! If I lived in Florence, I would definitely be spending my weekends exploring Tuscany’s countryside and neighbouring cities! From wine tasting in the Chianti region to exploring the streets of Siena – there is no time to get bored, that’s for sure, ‘La dolce vita’! What I would do: I would rent a car on Friday evening right after work and drive down to San Gimignano, where I would have booked a b&b at a local farm which participates in agroturismo. On Saturday morning, I would head over to the village and explore its charming…

Chic Honeymoon in Paris #LikeAWorkingChix

Have you ever dreamt of working abroad in a big city such as New York, Barcelona, London or Paris? I always wanted to do it but the opportunity never presented itself! Yet, it’s still on my bucket list, so I decided to use my Honeymoon in Europe as a pretext to imagine how I’d spend my day if I was a business woman working at the Canadian Embassy near Champs-Élysées in Paris – my 1st Honeymoon stop! What I would do: I’d take my lunch break to stroll down Champs-Élysées, grab a coffee on a terrasse or check out the latest…

Bridal shower – a stress free event.

A month ago, my mom & my sister threw me and amazing Bridal Shower! It was an intimate gathering of family & friends at my mom’s place with tons of food, a crazy sweet table and lots of fun & games! The decor matched my wedding theme & the desserts were simply adorable:…
