Bienvenue

Lucky you. You've come upon my blog either by clicking I'm feeling lucky on a google search, or through one of the many other channels I've used to get the word out. Welcome!
If you love travelling, or fashion, or both- as I do- then you've come to the right place. I was ten months old when I first boarded an airplane; that was approximately the age when I began sleeping with my new shoes (so that they would be the first thing I saw when I woke up, naturally.)

During a recent two-month stint in Paris, and the year that lead up to it, I learned that I have a deep and abiding (if bizarre) love for travel research. I will happily spend weeks hunting down the perfect hotel room for a two-night stay; ditto the perfect pair of skinny jeans for a night out. I am adamant that I get a good value, not a 'tourist' price, and I am willing to work for it. My pockets, like most, aren't particularly deep. It's a shame to spend all of your money just to get somewhere; enjoying and experiencing all that a destination has to offer costs money, too. Unfortunately, I've learned from experience that if you're not careful, it can cost a lot.

Not everyone has a lot of free time for extensive trip-planning. Others may simply not know where to start. That's where I come in. Based on experience and research, I will offer recommendations for all aspects of short and long holidays; where to stay, what to eat, what to see and, of course, where to shop!

All of my recommendations are just suggestions. After all, I know a lot about travelling, but I don't - and can't possibly - know everything.

I would love to hear your thoughts, too! So, travel enthusiasts, bargain hunters, style mavens... take note. Send me your rants, raves, loves, hates, questions and concerns. Seriously. Anything at all. That's what I'm here for. Your Fodor's book can't talk back, but I can. And will, happily.

Pack your bags. But be sure to leave extra room for all the stylish souvenirs you'll bring back.
