U.S. /Outside of NYC | Paola… Lost in New York City

Rose petals, henna tattoos, and dancing tunes

Wedding season is finally over for me and Tyler. The last one we went to was my third for the year and fourth for him. He was in the wedding party for three of them. All were beautiful and different in their very own ways. This particular wedding was very special for us for many reasons. The first is that it was Tyler’s brother’s wedding. Second, he was the best man. Third, it was Indian themed, and we’ve never been to […]

Cliff Walkin’

June 8, 2012 by findingpaola

I took a long walk around the Cliff Walk with Tyler and his mom during my short stay in Newport. It’s one of those attractions that encourage me to travel within the US. There are so many beautiful things that are just so close I have not yet seen. I’m definitely inspired to explore more the east coast and eventually venture out west and other interesting places in between. The Cliff Walk is right between the ocean and […]

A wedding in a mansion

June 4, 2012 by findingpaola

The last wedding Tyler and I attended took place in an historical Mansion overlooking the ocean in Newport, Rhode Island. The bride was absolutely stunning, and everyone who attended (including myself) wouldn’t stop saying how perfect and beautiful everything was. Right after, we welcomed the new couple in the lobby of the mansion with champagne, cocktail hour was held in the back right at sunset. There was a beautiful garden, two fountains both in the front and the back of […]

Just cruisin’

May 30, 2012 by findingpaola

For Memorial Day weekend, Tyler and I had a fabulous time in Newport, Rhode Island. We attended one of his friend’s wedding he’s known since the fifth grade. He’s been a very popular guy this year, I tell ya. In the past three months, he has been a groomsman for two of three weddings he attended. I got to see him give another great speech at the rehearsal dinner– happy that he didn’t say anything inappropriate. Tell me if this […]

Le printemps, mon printemps

March 24, 2012 by findingpaola

Spring is the season when snow melts (not that we had any in NYC this year), and animals come back from hibernation. You can hear the birds chirp, and watch the trees come back to life. It’s the season when people smile more, care more, and play more. It’s the season for colors, lovers, and flowers. I was in San Antonio for a wedding last week, and while my boyfriend was having a golf day with the groomsmen, I decided to […]

Color me coral

March 21, 2012 by findingpaola

Coral is one of my favorite spring colors. I think it compliment brown skin really well. It was Friday night in San Antonio, a full day before the wedding. After a delicious meal and a night of harmonious toasts to the bride and groom, we sat outside. Sipping on cocktails, talking, laughing. Many conversations all going at once, forming a song of happiness. The streets were busy, it felt like there was a party in every corner. The bar next […]

La plage et mes lunettes coeur!

January 30, 2012 by findingpaola

Last year one of the main things I wanted to own apart from my awesome bendable hula hoop was a pair of heart shaped sunglasses. It takes a lot to make me happy, right? I went through a phase where I browsed everywhere on the internet to find the best pair. I ended up with three, the third one came by accident. Now that I have them, I wear them all the time. I love wearing them mostly in the […]

A (delightful) weekend in Florida

January 28, 2012 by findingpaola

After an exhausting and downright comical flight on Spirit Air, we surprisingly made it safe and sound to Florida. Tyler and I were warmly greeted at the airport (welcome sign and all!) by our college friend Andrew and amazingly hyper girlfriend, Nicole. We were all able to quickly catch up in the car; the boys sat in the front while the ladies occupied the back. The very first task was to get brunch. And that’s what we got! Bloody Marys […]
