  • EVA DARLING IS 10 (and I also turned 24 today, but I think I’ve reached the age where I wished that I didn’t)! 🥂

I’m keeping it long and sappy on the blog today, so I’ll make this short(ish):

This blog has been a decade-long rollercoaster that has given me opportunities beyond what I could’ve dreamt. Thank you thank you thank you to all of the internet friends that became real-life friends, every photographer I’ve worked with, and of course, this little community that’s offered such amazing support along the way.

and of course, a very special thank you to @bellakphan, who was my very first blog photographer, and very appropriately shot this image in the house where it all started.

  • Traded the city that never sleeps for this sleepy lantern town 🏮

Vietnam has been the top destination on my travel wishlist since well, birth, and back in December, I finally got a chance to go 🙌🏻

This town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, best known for its many, many silk lanterns and density of high quality, inexpensive tailors, thanks to its history as a major Silk Road Trading Port

It’s been on my travel list for years and although it’s beyond touristy, which is usually not my thing, I really really loved it. The town is so charming and blends Chinese, Japanese, French, and Vietnamese architecture—truly like nowhere I’ve ever been before

  • BEST WAY TO SEE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN NYC 🎄⬇️

Every year, for the last 4 years, I drag myself out of my apartment at 2 or 3am and head up to the holiday lights on 5th Avenue!

By that time, the tourists are in bed, the streets are empty, and I stroll down 5th Ave admiring the lights and studying the holiday displays without the stress of traffic and crowds (which is perfect, because I could stand in front of the Bergdorf’s windows for hours)

It’s absolutely the best way to see the Christmas lights in NYC, but every year I find myself struggling to actually go alone! For as much as I find myself wandering solo, getting out of my apartment alone at that time of a night is always a small step of courage (because let’s be real: even though the area is generally safe, you never quite know what you’ll encounter in this city 😬)

Even still, every year I go and every year, I’m glad I did ✨

Would you come along?

  • Growing up, I'd beg my mother to take me to the @sequinjewelry sample sale in Minneapolis, each year they'd have it. At the time, stepping into that sale was always a candy store of sparkly statement jewelry, and bright enamel bangles. ✨

Over a decade later, and I still find myself reaching for the Sequin Jewelry pieces in my jewelry box. These days, Sequin's 22K gold-dipped layering necklaces are the perfect everyday essentials. I've been pairing these necklaces with the Sequin Jewelry snake earrings that I can't help but reach for every time I leave my apartment

Speaking of my apartment, when I'd shop Sequin in Minneapolis, I'd always dream of life in New York. When I think of life in New York, my mind goes to one of the most New York things of them all -- my dirty, brick-wall facing fire escape. I couldn't resist but shoot this series by playing with the idea of sneaking into my apartment from my fire escape (something that's happened on more than one occasion, albeit less glam 😂)

Shop all the @sequinjewelry I'm wearing here by downloading the @shop.ltk app and screenshotting this post!

  • Minneapolis’ best “secret” is only accessible by walking through an alley, cutting through a secluded parking lot, and knocking on an unmarked door

It’s hardly a secret that @volsteads is one of the best places for a night out in Minneapolis. Introduced to me by @brennanpalony, this speakeasy cocktail bar has quickly become a must-go spot for me when I’m visiting Minnesota (the French onion dip is SUCH a guilty pleasure) ✨

You could easily stay until close, listening to the live jazz, or finish out your night with something splashy by heading around the corner to @updownmpls, Minneapolis’ favorite barcade

  • Don’t mind me, I’m just waiting for the show to begin 💫

Cuvilliés Theatre was once a court theater in Munich, but now is part of the Residenz Museum! 

This stunning theater is often skipped by visitors to Residenz who are short on time, but trust me when I say that it’s not to be missed. It’s something out of a regal French dream despite being in the center of Munich’s Old Town.

Accessing Cuvilliés Theatre can be a little confusing, so here’s what you should know:

🚪 Despite being part of Residenz, the entrance to Cuvilliés Theatre is completely separate and can only be accessed by walk outside and around the corner when exiting the main Residenz Museum

🎟 Cuvilliés Theatre is ticketed separately from the Residenz Museum. It’s a totally different desk, you can’t purchase tickets for the theater anywhere in the main part of the museum

💸 Admission is just €5, and only includes the theater

  • Every girl needs a bestie like @uaarrd 💁🏻‍♀️

Nothing says loyalty like a friend willing to collab with you and face the rats at 3am in the MTA. Eduardo and I met six months before our freshman year of college in a Parsons admitted students GroupMe (proof that something good can come from a 500+ person group text 😂). Since screaming at each other the minute we got to meet in-person, we’ve been close, and nothing short of chaotic

Usually, the subway in New York waits for no one, but at the end of the 6, trains will wait for several minutes to get them back on schedule. If you’re crazy enough to brave it in a ballgown in the middle of the night, you’ll have the train mostly to yourself! ✨

  • Came for the dirndls, stayed for the vibes 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you told me I’d be at Oktoberfest in Munich at this time last year, I wouldn’t have believed you! As someone who’s not such a fan of Oktoberfest’s signature drink, my willingness to go on this trip came down to wanting to experience the time-old tradition of dancing on the benches and wearing a dreamy @krueger_dirndl (what can I say? She’s a fashion girl 💅)

Let me tell you — Oktoberfest DID 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 DISAPPOINT. I’ve been to few festivals in my life that had such a genuinely positive and friendly atmosphere. When you’re squished on a bench shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers, you get to know people, and we got to know so many fun, welcoming Germans, who made the Wiesn that much more special.

Although I can’t recommend this tent, I can recommend my favorite tent (@marstallfestzelt) where drinks of the grape varietal make a rare Oktoberfest appearance, the decorations are just as vibrant as the band, and the bench dancing has begun by 1pm 🐎

  • South Beach gets the hype, but Little Havana brings the heat!

This iconic mural in Little Havana has long been one of my favorites in Miami. Wynwood has long been regarded as Miami's street art neighborhood, but you'll find some hidden gems scattered all over Little Havana. If you're looking for Miami's best street art, check out the following:

🎨 Wynwood Walls: for an ever-rotating collection of eye catching murals from top street artists, trendy nightlife, and fun food experiences

👗 Design District: for sculptural installations with playful scale, fresh flagship luxury shopping experiences, and chic dining

☀️ Little Havana: for vibrant murals with tropical flair, colorful roosters, live music on Calle Ocho, and of course, Cuban food
