I can see why artists were so inspired by this region. The lights, the shadows, and the interplay between the two… not to mention the soft, whimsical colors. Le sigh!

J’aime beaucoup Paris, Mais je pense que j’adore le Provence… #view from our window in #Gordes! #france #provence #countryside #hilltop #village (at La Bastide De Gordes & Spa Hotel)

Beautiful, moving tribute to American heroes at Belleau Wood outside of Paris #WW1 #belleauwood #usa #usmc #military #france #boisdebelleau

In spite of accidentally booking a 7:01 AM EuroStar ticket rather than 7:01 PM ticket, we finally made it to Paris. We had a wonderful date night on Champs-Élysées – from a rooftop bar with splendid views (40 euros for two drinks was completely worth it), to an intimate and elegant French bistro, to Le Crazy Horse burlesque show. I am kind of in love with this city! #paris #romantic #eiffeltower (at Maison Blanche)

Beautiful #Oxford. So many great memories from my summer there. (at Oxford High Street)

Reunited with Beth after almost 8 years. I spent two summers with her in England years ago – once as students at Oxford, and then as interns at Parliament. She hasn’t changed a bit! #friends #london (at Jamie Oliver’s Union Jacks Covent Garden)
Maneuver Captains Career Course graduation. Proud of my Chuckles! #usmc #army #fortbenning #milso #graduation (at Ft Benning Soldiers Plaza)

New Lilly crush. No way am I spending $300 on it though! 😢 #lillypulitzer #dress #blue #coral

#tbt Hair show disaster of 2005… Black and white dye job. Gross. Never mind that they did this without my permission and I was headed to London for an internship in 2 weeks. No big deal!
