A memory from 2019. A trip where I connected deeply with a city I had left only a year earlier. A trip where I was given material for a book that I didn't know I had in me to write. . . . . . . . . . #styleontheside #carolinetopperman #seetheworldthrough… instagr.am/p/CrlJV1WrKfY/

It's like being in a dream. Normally I would have taken this photo again. I have no idea why bottom is blurred. Then I realized that this is kind of representative of life. Some parts are very clear and in focus. Some parts are clearly still forming. . .… instagr.am/p/CrvaGLSrMax/

This was one of those days when the sun felt abnormally large in the sky. Even in the shade we couldn't get away from the heat. . . . . . . . . . . #styleontheside #carolinetopperman #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #streetsineurope #storiesoftheeveryday #story… instagr.am/p/Cr-1MJzLWdg/

This is a photo from my book, Tell Me What You See. Two random women pass each other on the street... What happens next? . . . . . . . . . . #carolinetopperman #styleontheside #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #storiesoftheeveryday #storytellers #pixel5 #toront… instagr.am/p/CsD7uOUL0kd/

After the rain. I miss this view. The first, and only thing I noticed when I walked into this apartment were the sweeping views. I knew that I had to live there, even if it was for a short while. It's where I started my book, and where I felt closest to… instagr.am/p/CsJHtLuLoNg/

Bikes vs pedestrians vs cars. Old vs new. Every time I walk down the cobblestones, dip into galleries, and surround myself with an eclectic mix of architecture my creativity soars. . . . . . . . . #styleontheside #carolinetopperman #mountainashpress #see… instagr.am/p/CsQfkn-raHH/

Finding colour on a very rainy day. The first time I was in Munich it rained so much, and so hard, that we were forced to buy new shoes... So you know, not a horrible experience by any stretch of the imagination 😊 . . . . . . . . #styleontheside #ca… instagr.am/p/CsVhDWWsOHf/

After a long day of walking in the city it's nice to take a walk in a garden. This is how I find balance. The energy of the city fills my brain with creative ideas, and a nature allows them to fall into place. . . . . . . . . #styleontheside #carolineto… instagr.am/p/CsYHx4dsIVj/

The layers, the details, and how they fit with the overall story. This is how I approach book coaching and editing. My background in screenwriting has taught me to how to step inside the story and really "see" what is on the page. . . . . . . . . . #ca… instagr.am/p/CsleG01Lx4X/
