June is Pride month, which means all the colourful rainbows are in full force in cities, communities, and homes around the world. Rainbows are one of the most recognizable symbols of gay pride. You might see them on pedestrian crossings, flags, and on every piece of clothing item. Today, I’m sharing two more minimalist rainbows to raise awareness for the rights of all citizens.
Let’s go to France today. More specifically, let’s travel to the Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey hotel which is not only part of the Relais & Chateaux group, but is also a Lalique hotel (as in the famous French crystal company). This combo means that the Chateau has the best-of-the-best of decor, food, and services.
Who is ready to book a flight to Bordeaux to discover this gorgeous property?
Spring…and summer, eventually…is on its way (slowly and very inconsistently), which means that tote bags will be in full force. They’re great for market days, beach days, road trips, and more. Do you have one? If not, is it on your spring shopping list? Here are some that caught my eye.

Did you see Travel + Leisure’s 2019 list of best new hotels. I loved it. There are a few hotels that really stood out to me in terms of design. One is the Palazzo Bozzi Corso in Lecce, Italy (Puglia). Let’s start in the Cappuccino room:
On to Lady Astor’s suite:
The art, the details, the tile work, the views…this hotel is beautiful!
I’ve been riding my bicycle for a few weeks now (when it’s not raining), and I had forgotten how easy and quick it is to get around town with it. The winter break is really just too long to be away from my white Peugeot! (See #WhiteCabanaBikes for a few Peugeot highlights).
