Garden Girls
Girls Day Out
Last weekend I met up with friends for a picnic at the gardens of Filoli. An exquisite estate with a historic Georgian-style mansion and manicured gardens, Filoli was the perfect place to spend a warm summer afternoon enjoying charcuterie (with bees), sipping rosé, and catching up on the latest details of each other’s busy lives.
We donned our fancy picnic bitch outfits, and I wore my oversized Parisian-inspired straw hat I’d been saving for a special occasion. Minji brought Andrew along and he became our personal photographer for the day. I thought I’d share some photos because, well, we’re cute.
Gonna miss you girlies. Hope to do this again soon…maybe in Bali? 😉
Photos by me, group pictures by Andrew.
I've been rewatching and critiquing every travel vlog I've ever made, and here's the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Mosque-turned-cathedrals, Moorish castles, Roman bridges, and architectural history galore in the beautiful historic region of Andalusia.
A sunny morning spent admiring Manueline architecture in the monastery where Portuguese egg tarts were invented.
Sashimi to gorge on, animals to pet, videos games to play, and pedestrian streets to fall in love with all over again.
Seafood donburi, scallops, cremia ice cream, fresh milk products… Hokkaido was a foodie paradise.
I took a gamble on Frontier Airlines again and booked $83 roundtrip flights to Denver. And we had a rockin’ time.
Standing amidst the ancient ruins, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Andes, and feeling one with mother earth.
Visiting Mexico City on Dia de Los Muertos has been a dream of mine. There’s nothing I love more than visiting a place so full of life, celebration, and holiday festiveness.
Because a visit to China isn’t just another vacation to a foreign country; it’s a visit with family that comes with all its wonderful complexities and emotions.
A huge fan of public parks, I was impressed by this whimsical urban oasis that completely removes you from one of the biggest urban centers in the world.
I’m not typically a nature person, but overachiever me loves a challenge like hiking Half Dome.
Pool lounging, beachfront brunches, daily massages, and the most magnificent architectural wood carving masterpiece.
A day enjoying the slower pace of life here on Cheung Chau, an island full of beaches, boats, hikes, and buns!
New Orleans is such an amazing place to visit, full of life, culture, food, and an endless amount of entertainment.
Maybe it’s the the winding cobblestone roads, sweet shopkeepers, or the sight of laundry hanging out on the balcony, but Portuguese cities feel more lived-in and genuine, unjaded by tourism.
A 5-part story: cloudy dramatic mornings, the magic of Montmartre, Versailles: town and country, autumn in Paris, and the legacy of Dior.
I feel so grounded in the earth, the changing seasons, and a slower pace of life that rewards you with much-needed peace and calm.
We drove up Route 66 to Santa Fe, a capital city full of rich history, food, architecture and so much art. I’m in love.
From ancient natural wonders to Pueblo Indian and Southwestern culture, to adobe architecture and chile galore, New Mexico is one of the most unique places I’ve ever visited in America. Our first stop: Albuquerque.
I was ready to experience this city for the first time in all of its high-rise, deep dish glory.
Having spent most of my life in California, I feel like I don’t even truly understand what the color green looks like. But up north, Washington had some of the most vibrant, lush, and impossibly green trees I’ve ever seen.
