Cheesy Christmas Cards

Café des Sources

During autumn in Switzerland, restaurants open their menus for la chasse, or hunting season. This time of year you can order local wild animals served as a delectable main course.

Searching for Sugar "Shannon"

The other day I was lucky enough to get to spend the afternoon at la Brasserie des Tours with one of my favorites, Shannon. 

Théâtre du Léman et la Petite Reine

Over the weekend, Thomas' mom invited us and his brother to see a contemporary ballet called Synchronicity choreographed by Carolyn Carlson at the Théâtre du Léman.

The American Dream Diner

The other night, I was invited to dinner with friends at a restaurant called The American Dream.

Fondue, Fog and Chilly Fall Days

Thomas and I were invited by a good friend...ahem...Olivia persuaded a good friend to invite us to his humble abode in Epesses, a small village in the Lavaux wine region. 

Genevan Streets At Night

After Friday evening's biking escapades and art galleries, I joined some friends as they finished their meals before going out. The evening drinks started at Lady Godiva as the boys ate burgers.

Galleries and Bikes

On Friday, my friend Cathy and I decided to take out our bikes for a spin around the city and visit a few art galleries around the Quartier des Bains. 

Apple Crumble Tart

After going apple picking, we wanted to put our apples to good use in a delicious apple crumble tart. 

Fall Apple Picking

Fall has always been my favorite season.

Relaxing Sundays

In Switzerland Sundays are a day of relaxation and spending time with family and friends. 

Picnics, Mojitos, and Disco

When I first came back to Switzerland after a long summer in the states, I was lucky enough to be greeted by two good friends from Canada and the States.

A Welcoming Return

September was a whirlwind of enjoyment and great company as I came back to Switzerland to start my 2nd year of uni.

Blogging my blogger feelings.

A new blog, a new start.

This year I have promised to myself that things are going to be different. This year is about change for the better.

It seems to me that throughout life we periodically go through times that inspire us to change. Whether it be a new look, new attitude, home decor update, or environment, we tend to crave and desire the youthfulness change brings.

A wise friend (ahem Abby) once told me, "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony". Okay... so this quote is actually the words of Ghandi, but I'd like to believe it derived from my good friend. This quote is what I want to remind myself of everyday and what I am going to strive to achieve.

Everything about this photo describes my current inspiration. The striking pattern-on-pattern, the cool tones from the concrete that act as a blank canvas for this stylish woman to portray her emotions through dress, and the beautiful way the colors compliment each other. Now I can only dream to be able to stomp through my daily routine in pumps that high, but heck. As so I've heard, "it hurts to be beautiful".
