I felt like the view from the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence deserved it’s own post, so you get two gems for the price of one this week. Consider it in the spirit of #FlashbackFriday! Situated at the heart of the city, this ancient fortress/ palace/ guard-tower not only has incredible views of the city, but…
This completely unrelated headline sounded clever a year ago when I first thought of it, but now I’m just eager to share some flicks from quite possibly my favorite city in Italy. Thanks to my amazing hosts, the Scarpellis (who just welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world… congrats guys!) I had an unbelievably…
It’s a little anti-climactic that the first stop on my cross-country roadtrip was the distant and exotic land of Baltimore/ Washington D.C., but that’s where my cohort Erin is currently stationed, so I needed to swing by and scoop her up.

Let me preface this post by saying that I’m not an art critic or connoisseur or snob or collector by any means. I get invited to the occasional art show, my creative friends are all pretty amazing in their respective fields and sometimes, I grow super passionate about the work I see. James Jean is…
Immediately following the U.S. Grand Prix, I headed west to Northern California for some much needed R&R. Mama Shen’s birthday aside, the last time I requested two days off was back in May for a friend’s wedding in Cabo, so a “vacation” has been long overdue.
