Paris in the Fall

November 16, 2015

I wrote this post the day before the horrific events took place in Paris. I love this city so much and am praying for supernatural peace for everyone suffering right now. 

Nathan and I spent last November and October in Paris. It is safe to say it is our favorite city in the world. I am constantly scheming reasons and ways to get back over there! We had the best food and stayed in the most magnificent hotels. 

For the most magnificent and luxurious garden hideaway - Hotel Particulier Montmartre

For the best ravioli of ALL TIME - Cafe Charlot 

For the tastiest burger and side dishes ever - Ferdi

For the best cafe au lait and chocolate tart I have had to date - Le Cafe Marlette 

For cool vibes and great books - Le Rocketship

For mind altering Italian - L'etage de Pastavino

Two Thousand Fourteen

December 31, 2014

This year has been one of the best of my entire life. Nathan and I got married, we traveled Europe for a month, experienced new cities together, moved into our first place, and made countless unforgettable memories. I would say 2014 was one of the best years yet!  These are only a couple highlights!

Welcome, my name is Mercedez! My husband Nathan, our little pup Thomas, and I just moved into the country outside of Austin, TX. We purchased our first home and haven't stopped renovating since! Follow along as I share my all of my favorite things in life; recipes, DIY's, beauty stuff, fashion, interior design, and so much more! 

I'm at a point in my life where getting a table runner on sale makes the day worth living.....hahaha Today Id like to be back in Saint Tropez. Everyone go follow my floral design Instagram. Ready, set, go! @theheirloomtable Down by the lake with my love. ☕️ bigger than my face. I need it today. Throwback to the good days at home in California. Sometimes, most of the time, I really miss it. I bought this 10 million dollar water bottle because it looked cool. 😒 Making salsa watching the rain😌 It's 82 degrees and raining. In Texas 82 degrees feels like sweater weather. One more house picture cause I'm loving our new living room. So much brighter and cozier than the last ❤️ I love our throw pillows! My kitchen sink window makes me so happy 😍
