I have procrastinated long enough in terms of writing posts for my blog that I almost forgot the password to get in the back door of my website! So without further ado, here are the many “Links I Love” for January 2021. MY FAVORITE CHANEL LINKS Chanel Family Reunion at Spring 2021 Haute Couture Show {Bazaar} “I love big family reunions, when the generations all come together. It’s so warm. There’s this spirit at Chanel today.

Wanderlust: Islands Without Cars
There are destinations around the world where people get around by walking, bicycles, and donkeys. There are places where there are no cars, or at least, a place where no cars are allowed. To me, there is an adventure around every corner in these far away locales. Kira Cook hosts a series on PBS, entitled Islands without Cars. This first season of this show highlighted six islands without cars, including the Greek Island of Hydra, Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Ireland’s Inis Meain, Italy’s Aeolian Islands, The Channel Island of Sark, and France’s Isle of Porquerolles. In doing a little more research […]
Wanderlust: California
I have always wanted to go to California! I have a couple of friends who live out there and they love it!

You can read more about her in this blog post. I can’t wait until the day that I get to […]

Today’s post is not about one particular destination, but it’s about one person who has inspired me and my wanderlust dreams. A few years ago, I met Karis Kranker through a mutual friend when we stayed with her on a whirlwind weekend girl’s trip to New York City. I had never been to New York City and had an agenda of what I wanted to see and do, but meeting Karis was a highlight of that weekend. Not only did she open up her small one-bedroom apartment to me, but she opened up my eyes to a whole new world of […]
