Notice anything new about the blog? (Hint: It's about damn time it started living in present day.) We're talking finally getting a makeover that's befitting of modern devices and browsers -- though I think the blog still looks best on a computer screen (non-mobile, non-tablet). I found a responsive template I liked before tweaking and customizing a few features. I believe everything works now, but let me know if anything looks off. All new posts going forward should look better in comparison to older posts.

TL;DR /end nerd talk

I've been kinda half-assing blog posts for awhile now... just really haven't had the motivation, I guess. But as of late, I think I've found a second wind, hence the blog makeover. For starters, I've been posting outfit photos with an accompanying sentence or two (!) Surprisingly I haven't been shopping all that much (relatively speaking). It's mainly been work that has been keeping me really busy, but is also the reason for this blog's sudden about-face. I've strayed so far from my comfort zone at work -- not really my choice, really, but I'm thankful for the opportunity to take on (and tackle) more challenges. So why not the same for blogging?

First the blog makeover with updated links and pages. Then I decided to start fresh on Instagram with a new handle and clean slate. That's enough changes for the short-term, lol. Fingers crossed that I can keep all this up.

I'm traveling to Italy and Spain for the next two weeks, so will be taking a hiatus from the blog. In the meantime, I may be around on Instagram, but can't make promises ;) See you in March!

I'll be MIA from blogging (may still be around the Interwebs) for the next couple of weeks... because I'll be traipsing around Asia (!) with DH and a few friends. Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong are on the itinerary. My last visit to Japan was much too short, so I'm beyond excited to have another chance to explore what is perhaps my favorite country in the entire world. Singapore and HK will be new destinations for me (would love food recs!), though I have high hopes for both as well. Who knows, maybe I'll come back with a better appreciation for Indian food and dim sum.

See you in March!

I'm taking a blogging break until the end of the month because the oft-wished about EuroTrip is actually happening. We're off to London -> Paris -> Venice -> Rome for the next 17 days. Words can't describe how excited I am. There's so much to see, to experience, to eat, to buy...!

I'll be offline for the duration of the trip, so any questions/comments will be answered upon my return. Now I'm off to brush up on my bebe-level Francais and add to my non-existent Italian. See you in a couple of weeks!
