I love the tantalizing aura that the seasons claim. For instance today, after an all-nighter at my brother's house (coming home in last night's clothes always gives me a little thrill) I was walking up the stairs to my apartment, caught a big whiff and thought to myself "you know, today feels like summer." It's just funny, and mysterious in a way. Yesterday I was toasting away at peaks, surrounded by scantily-clad mommies and towels and coconut oil, but not until this morning, warm but as nondescript as any other, did it legitimately feel like summer. 
These are macaroons.
These are macarons. Don't get them confused. {can you tell what's been on my mind lately hmmm?}
I happened upon these photos here. I adore them, mostly because it's fun to think about how aged my own photos will one day be.
Apparently this is illegal now, so sad, but what a fun dare!
Climbing the eiffel tower. Frankly I would like a picture similar to this for myself.
This is what I think I'm most looking forward to. Just meandering the streets, eating something that looks real good.
