Siena

We made an afternoon stop to Siena which was rather exciting since I'll be studying there in a couple of years! It was an overall great day, we sat in the main piazza and had amazing espressos, shopped (Max Mara loves me), and ate at this delicious little bakery! It's such a pretty and rather quaint town. Definitely my second favorite after Florence.

Florence: the greatest city in the world

After Paris was Florence, Italy... I swear I lived there in another lifetime. It is my single favorite place in the entire universe. The art, the history, the shopping, the food, the well-dressed and well-kept locals. Ahhh... I miss it just talking about it. I refuse to upload any photos of myself because i looked ever-so haggard after our overnight train ride. Yuck...

My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning.

Next was Paris!!!!! Which was gorgeous... and had shopping that would put any American stores to shame. I even got to go to Colette... ahh it was too awesome for words! And of course I went to the Louvre, Versailles, Notre Dame, et al.

London Calling

My European excursion was amazing! London was our first stop and we fell in love... I need to go back for an extended stay in the near future.
Here are some photos for you:




phonebooth, naturally....



eeek! i teared up at the sight of the rosetta stone!

birds and benefit banquets

This weekend I watched classic horror flick (hooray for Hitchcock) and attended a charity banquet.
I must say, I can never look at a bird the same way....



Here's how Saturday went:

lykke li

Lykke Li was in Toronto Friday night, and I was lucky enough to get tickets. It was an amazing show! She is such and adorable person. Here are some pictures I took with my new camera (these definitely trump the Of Montreal photos):

P.S-

My rather eventful weekend....





I'm not much of a clubber but I must say this weekend's experience was rather enjoyable...
Despite my (unofficially) broken toe, I managed to wear heels...
