Frills.

I am currently writing this blog post in the grandiose Boston Public Library, reflecting back on these images from Deauville and feeling like my life is an ephemeral dream at the moment. Though Deauville and Boston are such contrasts aesthetically, they do converge on the common denominator of both being absolutely beautiful places; I feel so grateful for these lovely opportunities that it is slightly taking my breath away! 

I hope you are all having a gorgeous week! 

Love, Mandy. xx

Roses & white picket fences.

While all my loved ones back home were enduring some arctic days back in July, I was frolicking about in the beautiful French coastal town of Deauville amid the most impeccable gardens and white picket fences ... oh yes, my life has been incredibly taxing of late. Speaking of taxing, my absence has been somewhat accounted by the fact that I have spent the last week finding accommodation here in Boston in a frantic rush - a formidable task for a someone who is completely foreign to the area and on a limited budget. Thankfully, I now have a home and am ready to continue my adventures here! 

Have an absolutely sparkling week, everyone!

Love, Mandy. xx
