Paris, Je T’aime

Paris, France

March 2, 2022

paris-travel-guide-travel-blogger

Yesterday was the beginning of meteorological spring and even though it’s still chilly here in New England, I’m definitely thinking of warmer times ahead. The other day I was listening to some Ella Fitzgerald and the song, “I Love Paris” caught my ear. She sings, “I love Paris in the springtime” which got me thinking about just how beautiful the City of Light must be during those months when the flowers start to bloom. If you are taking a spring trip to Paris, here are a few articles that will help you plan the trip of a lifetime. Paris, je t’aime!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

@BostonBallet just delivered the ultimate lesson i @BostonBallet just delivered the ultimate lesson in contrast, and I am entirely here for it. 🥂✨

Alex and I kicked off date night trading our usual routine for the moody, electric energy of Hobgoblin, before stepping into the undeniable, old-world glamour of the Citizen’s Opera House.

If you think contemporary ballet is always intensely serious, the Fall Experience is about to beautifully prove you wrong. The program is an absolute masterclass in duality. We were hit with the unapologetic power of orchestral selections from Stravinsky’s The Firebird and the gripping, primal ritual of Vertical Road, but the absolute scene-stealer of the night was Alexander Ekman’s Cacti. It is cheeky, rhythm-driven, and gently pokes fun at the pretentious need to over-analyze everything. I think I will always remember that unique Pas de deux that ended with a stuffed cat falling from the ceiling. 

Yes, you read that right.

Sometimes, you don’t need a deep, philosophical meaning—sometimes you just need brilliant percussion, incredible dancers, a cat and literal cacti on stage.

It was the perfect mix of grit, effortless glamour, and pure theatrical magic.

Don’t forget to grab your tickets to Boston Ballet’s Fall Experience before it closes September 20.

When I lived in New York, the places where the Twi When I lived in New York, the places where the Twin Towers once stood were just giant, gaping holes in the ground. There were makeshift memorials of flowers and photos, but I lived just down the street and avoided the area like the plague. It felt like a land of tragedy, heavy with the ghosts of lives lost far too soon.

So for years, on countless visits back to the city, I never went to the memorial. I just couldn’t.

That changed in August 2025. It was the girls’ first trip to NYC, and my first time seeing the 9/11 memorial pools. I’ll admit, I became far more emotional than I ever expected. Even all those years later, even though I was just a young teen when it happened, I felt my heart in my throat walking through the plaza.

And then we saw it. The Survivor Tree. In this vast space of mourning, it gave me so much hope. The same kind of brilliant, defiant hope my girls bring to me every single day.

It is so important that we never forget that day 25 years ago. But standing there, watching my daughters look up at the tree that refused to stop living, was a powerful reminder that it’s just as important that we keep on blooming. We have to keep living, beautifully and fiercely, for all those who can’t. 🕊️

Postcards from our final day in Newport, Rhode Isl Postcards from our final day in Newport, Rhode Island. 💌✨

We wrapped up our coastal escape with the ultimate high-low itinerary. We spent the morning wandering through the unbelievable grandeur of The Breakers. I fully encouraged Arielle and Aurora to pretend they owned the place, because why not?

Once we had our fill of Gilded Age opulence, we traded the marble halls for the classic, salty-air charm of Bannister’s Wharf. Alex and I tag-teamed the lunch rush at The Black Pearl (because finding incredible pescatarian-friendly coastal food and delicious cocktails is my absolute love language), before capping off the trip the only acceptable way: with a very necessary, very messy sugar rush at Sprinkles Ice Cream.

It was the perfect blend of architectural sparkle and sticky-fingered childhood joy. Au revoir, Newport. You were an absolute dream. 🥂

Okay, settle a debate for me: if you only had one hour left in Newport, are you spending it getting lost in the grandeur of The Breakers, or are you grabbing a table at The Black Pearl? Drop your vote below! 👇✨

If Holly Golightly took a family road trip to Rhod If Holly Golightly took a family road trip to Rhode Island, I like to think her first day would look a little something like this. 🥂✨

Newport is basically a masterclass in high-low travel, which is exactly my love language. We kicked off our first day channeling pure Gilded Age glamour at Rosecliff (highly recommend letting your girls pretend they own the place on the back lawn), before shifting gears for lunch at Pasta Beach and a wind-in-our-hair spin down the Scenic Drive.

We balanced out the opulent sparkle with the moodier, gorgeous architecture of Kingscote, did a little cobblestone strutting down Bannister’s Wharf, and wrapped the whole glorious marathon exactly where we belong: on the patio at O’Briens. They even let the kiddos fish with magnetic rods and matching “fish” in the fountain!

Because there is nothing chicer than pairing a fabulous outfit and a head full of historic architecture with a cold drink and casual pub food while Alex and I wrangle the girls.

Who says you can’t have the mansions and the casual pints, too? Not us.

Tell me your travel style below—are you team Gilded Age glamour, or team pub-patio-with-a-pint? (Or if you’re like me, you absolutely refuse to choose). 👇✨

When asked about the future, she skips the predictable and goes straight for the extraordinary: “I’m going to be a butterfly.” 🦋 

Never lose that spark, sweet girl. Don’t let anyone convince you to dim your glitter, fit into a tiny box, or stay grounded when you were born to take flight. Go show preschool what you’re made of—sparkle, grit, and pure magic.

The wings already suit you. 🦋✨

They say packing for a family road trip is a marat They say packing for a family road trip is a marathon, but honestly? It’s just the perfect excuse to curate a killer high-low travel wardrobe. 🥂✨

From a private tour of the Empire State Building to chasing Arielle and Aurora through Newport mansions, this trip was all about blending Parisian nonchalance with a little NYC grit. Whether I was dusting off a vintage Armani straw hat for tea at The Plaza or living in a $30 wrinkle-proof Amazon dress 100 stories up at The Edge, the mission was simple: look fiercely put-together without sacrificing a drop of comfort. Because yes, you can absolutely museum-hop, wrangle kids, and still serve unapologetic glamour. 🖤🎀
