Snowy Weekend in Upstate New York

If you know all of us in Los Angeles, you know we only have one type of weather. And don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining {too much}, but it would be nice to experience some type of different weather. Lucky for me, my sister is such a travel junkie and she is always down for any trip regardless of how far or how short it might be. This winter, we were dying to go somewhere snowy and Buffalo, NY was one of our two locations. {Read about our first winter trip here.} Why winter, you ask? So that we can wear our cute winter coats! “So yeah! Why not? Let’s go!” is exactly how it went. This faux fur coat was just too good and it had to be worn.

Stay tuned for a city guide post of Buffalo/Niagara Falls if you ever plan on visiting!

This city is absolutely so charming. The small town feel is everything I love.

24 Hours {or less} in Vancouver

You’re probably thinking: why such a short time in an amazing city? Well let’s just say I didn’t exactly plan to stay in Vancouver this time around, but I guess fate wouldn’t have it that way and wanted me to stay. Long story short, we visited Whistler for the weekend and right as we got to the airport for check-in, I realized I left my passport back at the hotel. Bravo Carolyn! We had more than a couple hours before the flight so I had called for a taxi from Whistler to deliver my passport. Unfortunately, it arrived only 20 minutes before my flight and by that time they had closed check-in. And that my friends, that’s how we ended up staying in Vancouver for an extra day!

After discovering this shockingly horrifying and upsetting news that I was a completely irresponsible idiot, my sister and I decided that since we were already here and in vacation mode, let’s look for cool things to eat before we leave tomorrow! And that’s exactly what we set out to do. Though little, here are a couple of places we ate and where we stayed in 24 hours or less.

Bucket List: No. 4

I never really had a chance to introduce this whole editorial series to you, which is weird because this is my favorite one to write! I created the Bucket List series as a way to quench my thirst for travel {temporarily} and to constantly keep my wanderlust going. As the name says itself, it’s another way for me to track down all the places I want to go and eventually check them off. Traveling has always been an important part of my life and as a child, my family has always encouraged me to explore the world. It doesn’t only make you aware of the world surrounding you, but it teaches you more about yourself. Because of this, I always encourage people to travel as well. It has taught me so much and I don’t know the person I would be if I didn’t get to see the things I did.

So as a way to keep myself inspired, I hope that my lists and the photos I gathered from the internet also encourage you to hop on a plane and getaway. Without further ado, here are the newest additions to my bucket list:
