beauty.
these flowers always reminded me a fried egg and was HAPPY to learn that they are called MATILIJA POPPIES (also known as the “fried egg” flower). they are so elegant yet so bold.

morocco.
i just went to morocco for the first time and was completely blown away. the COLORS. the BEAUTY. the FOOD. this photo was taken on a train from fez to marrakech. it was unbelievably beautiful.
this is at the tannery in fez. giant vats of natural dyes for leather. the smell is so incredibly FOUL that they give you fresh mint leaves to hold up to your nose.
colors in the souk. the spices and dried goods. AMAZING.
the architecture, the tiles, the woodwork. absolutely unbelievable.
and of course, the moroccan LAUNDRY !
i can NOT wait to go back to morocco. it was life changing.

barcelona.
spain is one of my top favorite countries. i love the lifestyle and the food. here are a few snippets of our recent trip there.
we stayed in our friend’s apartment which is so BEAUTIFUL and so centrally located. it was very relaxing and i felt like we actually lived there. YOU can rent their apartment right here.
we took a paella cooking class ! so fun and delicious. paella is one of my favorite things to eat. we also learned how to make a mean SANGRIA !
i can not go to a new place without noticing the LAUNDRY !
i’m also always aware of the graffiti. i’d have to say that barcelona has some of the best graffiti i have ever seen.

new adventures . . .
i am off for a few weeks to SPAIN and MOROCCO. spain is one of my all time favorite countries to visit, but i have never been to morocco and am so excited to be around all of the colors and textures there !
my entire wardrobe is in this little black bag. i love summer travels when all you really need is a few little frocks and a pair of sandals.
i am NOT bringing my computer, so i will not be posting here for a few weeks. BUT if you want to follow along on my journey, you can join me on my instagram HERE.
see you in a few weeks !
