travel: interesting finds online

Published by

Travel has been on my mind for months, and with that, all I want to do is talk travel. Click on photos to be redirected to some of my finds this week: Couple of years ago, I was in Milan and was very disappointed to see the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II under construction. I couldn’t get a single photo of the magnificent space without some sort of scaffolding, or sign or any indication that it was under renovation. So good news is, it is now complete. The sad news is this year I am not going to Italy. Every chance I get, I walk into a bookstore at home and while travelling. I guess that’s the author in me. The sad thing is, in San Francisco we are left with a handful of mom-and-pop bookstores, and that makes me feel sad.

Lucky for her, her only daughter is away in College or traveling through Asia, and isn’t around to judge. 😉 The fashion is mostly what caught my attention with the creators of the show dressing the main character Eliza tastefully to communicate perfect her youthfulness, without compromising elegance or class, something most women over 40 needs to consider.  With that said, I have to share with you what I consider fashion to looking younger, yet feeling classy:

Yes, it is that time of year where I do nothing but dream of Paris in all its glory and even not the very perfect, I learned from speaking with locals. But it matters not, a girl can dream, especially one who lives so far away from this magical city. Here are some of my favorite spots perfectly photographed and uploaded via Instagram here:

Not sure if we hit that ugly foggy season really early this year. The one that blankets the city from sometime in May to August or early September-the longest days of the year, making it gray and too blah to feel inspired.  Anyway, if I were to explain to you in photographs what my mood is, then I’d have to say: {all photo source click here}
