Links I Love Week 16
Happy Sunday from the airport in Puerto Rico. I’m currently on my way back to Chicago after 17 days of travel. I spent the first 10 days in Paris, and one week sailing in the British Virgin Islands for my 40th birthday. I am looking forward to a proper shower and sleeping in my own bed. Most of all, I cannot wait to see my best buddy, Henri. I hope you all are having a great Easter/Passover weekend. Grab your coffee and croissants (or matzah if you celebrate) and join me for this week’s links I love.

Thanks for the Monica Vinader code! I picked up the earrings – thought they will make a great one-and-done pair for travel!
Hi Dina,
My pleasure! I hope you love them as much as I do.
My friend, even though we will never meet, I love reading about you. I am elderly and cannot travel. There are always ways to rise above: I travel via the Internet. It’s beautiful sitting in my wingback chair with a cup of coffee!! Thank you for Everyday Parisian.
