Postcards from a European Holiday

To bid adieu to the spontaneous fun and blissful feel that is the epitome of the summer season, I ventured to Europe for a much-anticipated two-week vacation. With itineraries booked in both Paris and Rome, this first-timer was as giddy as a girl in a candy store, eager to immerse myself in the art, culture, fashion, and history of two cities that are equally rich with legacy and flair.

I always find that travel inspires me, be it through foreign language, entrancing color palettes, passed-on stories, eye-catching typography, understated street corners, renewed perspective, or simply relishing in something ordinary that strikes you as memorable. From magazine galleries and red-carpet keepsakes at La Galerie Dior, to corners of The Louvre, the interiors of Versailles, and the awestruck surprise that awaits at the Knights of Malta Keyhole in Rome, consider this a visual diary of a trip I’ll treasure for a lifetime.
