Since I can remember, I’ve struggled with keeping things neat and tidy. I had the messiest desk at school and my childhood room was always in shambles. My poor mother. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve definitely tried harder to stay on top of things now that Casey (also not a neat freak) and I have a home of our own but there are only so many hours in a day. After a long day of work and my evening gym session, the last thing I want to do is come home and work on organizing things. Honestly, it’s a miracle if I’m able to get the grocery shopping done! Thank god for grocery delivery! I’ve wanted to work with an organizer for years.

Today marks our second day in Paris and my husband and I’s 4th anniversary! After a day of complete jetlag yesterday, we started our day bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to see all the things. We started out by exploring Le Musée du Louvre (which was amazing), then we headed down Champs Elyesse for shopping, macaroons, and pastries at Ladureé. I knew it was a must-see because I first visited Ladureé in Georgetown a few weeks ago when I was shooting the Calvin Klein campaign with Emma (as seen in this post). The macaroons were unlike any I had ever tried and the ambiance was beyond perfect. So I dragged my husband in Ladureé and told him to trust me and that he wouldn’t be disappointed. I think he was scared by all the pastels and pretty packaging but he was absolutely blown away by the macaroons. Score! After we filled up on macaroons, we headed for Saint Germain to find a spot for lunch and people watching. We found a cute little café (with a nice street view), called Les Deux Magot, for some rosé and a croque monsieur. This little neighborhood has to be […]
