Queen of Versailles

Too bad the fountains weren't on.. I thought Versailles is the palace of luxury! Haha.

These photos were taken on my last full day in France at the Palace Versailles.  I can't believe it's been a month since the trip. It's so weird remembering that something is over when you have looked forward to it for months. 

My experience was like nothing I've ever had and I would do it over in a heart beat. I was put out of my comfort zone by living with a host family for a week and a half, eating strange (but amazing) foods, and speaking a language 24/7 (well almost) I hardly know. 

I learned to not be afraid of the unknown and to have trust in the kindness of strangers.

I learned that I can do anything I put my mind to and that is the biggest thing I took away from this trip. 

Now I feel ready to take on any challenge life throws me. Because I know if I set my mind to it, I can accomplish anything. 

Enough with the sappiness Andrea... I hope you have a great week.

Do you want to go to the plage with me?

Rebonjour my readers. Yes, this post means I am back from my two week trip to France. I can't express how much of an amazing time I had. I would go back tomorrow for another two weeks if I could. This is just one of a few posts I will do about what I did (and more importantly what I wore) while in France.

This was during my stay in Toulouse for the first week with my host family. We went to the Gruissan plage, dipped our feet in the water and took some pictures. After, we went to small town near by where we climbed to the top of a medieval church and saw the amazing view of the town and water.

 I decided to keep the look bright with this orange shirt that you saw in my last post. To make it oh-so-French I layered it with a striped scarf. The weather was around 60 degrees most days so I could get away with skirts, but only with a scarf on top. 

Keep a look out for the next France post which I will pepper in with my regular outfit posts. I hope you had a great Easter holiday. 

Soludos for spring

Ahhh, spring is in the air. Well, there's still snow melting on the ground, but for the time being we have warm weather. 

Today was perfect for debuting my new Soludos. I bought them for my upcoming trip to France (which I am so excited about), but I figured I would wear them before to break them in. 

I think I'll need a shoe insert for them because they don't have much support for my flat feet. I do like how they are very casual and summery. I opted for the canvas derby model with the laces because I already have toms. They do come in some cute colors and prints, but I decided to leave those for my next pair.

I hope all my East Coasters and enjoying this nice weather. I can't wait for more days like this to come.
