  • Salt Water Views

    •

    Raleigh, be warned. As much as I miss you, a girl could really get used to waking up near the water. The views on my last few days of runs and walks in Antibes have been too good not to share. These pictures are from the beachfront in Antibes, Fort…

  • I’m Living in France – and Drinking Less Wine Than Ever

    I’m Living in France – and Drinking Less Wine Than Ever

    •

    Lisa Jeffries Nobling

    I’ve been in the south France for nearly a month and I’ll be here off and on through the end of April finishing my dual master’s degree in Global Luxury Management. You’d think while I’ve been here that I would have had more than my fair share of wine already,…

  • A Monday in Monaco

    •

    I knew Monaco was one of the places Johnnie Bud was most looking forward to while visiting Europe, so we had to get a visit in before he had to return to North Carolina… even if that meant visiting on a Monday. We were a little underwhelmed at the lack…

  • Sunday Funday in Cannes

    •

    A week ago Sunday, Johnnie Bud and I headed to Cannes with GLM classmates Daniel, Sarah, and Stephanie. Taking the SNCF train for $12 round-trip, it was about a 30 minute ride (with stops included) and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was fairly quiet in Cannes on…

    First Days in Antibes

    •

    Can I take just a second to brag on my wonderful manfriend who accompanied me over the pond for the first week to help me get adjusted to life here in Europe – and to enjoy a mini-vacation, too? While I was joining 41 other NC State GLM students here…

    A few life updates: I’ve migrated this blog over from Blogger – so welcome back if you’re a returning visitor and thanks for tuning in if you’re a first timer! I’m currently in my second semester of the NC State master’s degree in Global Luxury Management which means… I’m living…

    There’s something about brand loyalty – it gets in your veins – the very DNA of how luxury consumers consume. And when you find out one of your beloved brands is going to be absorbed by a larger in the industry? Talk about a gut punch. “Somewhere between their Westin…

  • What I’ve Been Up To: October Edition

    •

    Lisa Jeffries Nobling

    October flew by because it was packed with things to do, places to be, and people to see. My favorite ways to fill up a busy schedule! Johnnie Bud and I spent the first weekend of October visiting my little sister Mandy and her other half Joe up in Delaware…

  • What I’ve Been Up To: June Edition

    •

    Lisa Jeffries Nobling

    Truth be told, June wasn’t as professionally exciting as May was, but it was still one heck of a busy month. I can’t believe we’re already looking the 4th of July holiday smack in the face! Started June with Charlotte and Jeff’s wedding, which meant quality time with a few…

  • Day Trip to Boone?

    •

    I’d probably be too scared to take the plunge, but this seems like the cooooooolest thing ever. (Especially after watching last week’s episode of Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory where he installed his own zip line in his massive warehouse/office complex).
