I came across her on Instagram after a keyword search for Paris, and fell head over heels for the way she captures the City of Light . A Stockholm native, Carin moved to Paris to pursue her passion for photography, and her blog, Paris in Four Months, captures all of her adventures along the way. It’s truly a love letter to Paris–you need to check her out. She posts the locations for all her Instagrams and photos on her blog, so I’ve been taking good notes of where to eat and what neighborhoods to explore while I’m there, and I appreciate her insider’s view into where the locals dwell. If you’re planning a visit to Paris, you’ve got to stop by Paris in Four Months, or if you’d simply like a little Parisian eye candy, you won’t be disappointed! Find her on Instagram @parisinfourmonths. Have a great weekend!        All photos are the work of Paris in Four Months.

Adjust for the season, but packing light is golden. Always a carry-on. Always!  You want your luggage to arrive with you, especially in a foreign country.  Leave behind the extra weight and edit. The cardinal rule to packing light is to choose versatile pieces that you can easily mix, match and layer to create several different ensembles. Bring only minimal makeup (This will help you look European). Before you leave, pick up $300 in currency of where you’re going (unless you’re going somewhere silly expensive, then $400).  Most everything will go on your credit card, so make sure to call your credit card company ahead of time, and tell them when and where you’ll be traveling.
