This post is so personal to me, mostly because it was taken on such a magnificent evening while in Lisbon, Portugal – but really; honestly – because it was shot by the love of my life. I have mentioned a couple of times that I primarily shoot my own blog posts (with a tri-pod and hand control remote no less!); and while I take so much pride in doing it myself, I had a moment of clarity when the boyfriend offered to snap a few.
And you know what; he did such a good job! I felt extremely vulnerable … I think it even shows in some of the pictures.
The light was perfect, and the streets were just beginning to buzz with the locals gearing up for dinner. This was shot at the apartment we rented; which was incredibly stunning and perfect for just us two.
Lisbon stole my heart, and I will forever be attached to Portugal. There are no words that can encourage you to visit; the one thing I can tell you, is love will find you in Portugal … and when it does – be ready for it, for it will sweep you off your feet.
This post marks a new transition; as chapters are ending in my life and once again, new ones starting. I am so excited to share with you the new things happening in my life! Next weeks post is sure to be a goodie.

LOVE
I had goosebumps as I read this blog post for two reasons. It makes me happy to know that you are happy in your relationship. I know that you are an independent woman but I love how much you share your emotions with your readers. I also feel like you are generally in a fantastic place in your life and I’m so glad about that too. Lastly, your outfit, the backdrop of Portugal and how the whole thing came together is magical.
Loving that pretty dress! Looks great with those heels!
