a moveable feast

Cousin and I saw Midnight in Paris yesterday. Let me start by saying Woody Allen manages to capture the best, often underrated, simplest and most beautiful aspects of a city and push them to the forefront. (like with Barcelona and New York City). His movies are always a hopeless romantic's best fantasy. But I think what hit me most about this one (more than blowing my savings and buying a ticket to paris), was:
a. Nostalgia is not inherently a bad thing but with it must come a healthy foundation in the present and willingness to look to the future.
b. I need to take more risks. I need to step away from my comfort zone. One of my biggest fears is complacency.
Hmmm. Time to contemplate.
Also a round up of some of the gorgeous stills:

c. be more cultured. read more, learn art history and figure out how to look way cuter next time I'm in Paris.
d. walk in the rain.

Goes to Paris

I haven't forgotten about my wanderlusting, in fact i've got a few trips queued up over the next few months that i'm excited about. But I've been taking some time to enjoy being a newlywed and working on this whole being-a-responsible-adult thing works. But I had to post about this:

 

Do you know Jordan at Oh Happy Day? She is super cute and has the most precious family ever. Well they decided to up and leave San Francisco a few months ago to move to PARIS for a year. (jealoussssssss....) But! This is super awesome lady has put together a giveway - 7 days for 2 people (hotel and airfare covered) in her new city of Paris! Ahhh amazing! You know I've been once and had a blast, but a) I need to go back and spend more days there and b) I need to do Paris as a fancy lady, not as a backpacker! Jordan will personally be your host for a day or two and show you all her favorite spots, as a local. Um, yes please!

so ENTER the contest! (and then take me as your plus one if you win =D)
