I always thought there was just ONE mummy in Paris. I’m sure you must have seen him, sitting on a bench, under a tree along Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Well, I was wrong. There appears to be a m...
Ah, Paris, the City of Love! Here are two couples celebrating their love in different ways. The first, French, in simple wedding attires and accompanied by a photographer. The second, Asian, in full ...
I’m always impressed when I see women walking around in heels at the park, and there seems to be a bunch of them every time at Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. It’s doable though, the Tuile...
You’d think, maybe even a gangster movie. But no! This was taken inside Paul, a French boulangerie and pâtisserie. It’s simply the customer paying the waitress at the cash register. I too...
It’s Sunday, time to rest. Until my next post … take care!
If possible, I always try to take a moment to observe street artists. It’s quite amazing to see their different talents. Then, of course, I give a euro or two and applaud their performance. Put...
I love Garance Doré! It’s not even about the fashion but rather her persona: her illustrations, her photography, her wit, how she started blogging, how she followed her dream, how she fell in l...
One advantage of working freelance is being able to manage my own time, mostly. That means I can enjoy “happy hour” and cocktails anytime. I don’t really drink much alcohol, I’...
This is what a friend said when she saw this picture. Come to think of it, he does look like Woody — 20 years ago! Speaking of Woody, while I haven’t seen most of his films, I absolutely love t...
I love bookstores! I may not be so much of a bookworm but I enjoy visiting bookstores, especially those with charm and history. On a rainy day, such as today, I could spend hours flipping through the...
… and seal it with a padlock! Until my next post … take care!
Canal Saint-Martin is, well, a canal in Paris where few tourists previously ventured into. It’s really a working class arrondissement just off Place de la République, but it’s becoming mo...
I’m always looking for a different perspective when taking pictures. It’s because I only have one lens, a 50mm/1.4, and I’m challenging myself to creatively take better photos. This...
Aside from wedges, ballerinas are my best friend, shoewise. They’re practical, stylish, and perfect for my daily life. I can wear them with jeans, skirts, shorts, dresses … basically almo...
In case you weren’t in the loop, France has a new socialist government and president, François Hollande. Walking along Palais de l’Élysée today, there was quite a bit of commotion with ca...
Time is a luxury, and I’m not talking about watches here. Often I hear friends, I included, say how they don’t have enough time or would like to make more time to do something they like —...
I’m seeing a lot of big bags lately. Either they’re the traditional hobo or a satchel/tote with handles, or an attached strap, long enough to be carried on the shoulder. Aside from the us...
Fancy the boho rocker look? Wear a hat, a leather jacket, a slouchy messenger bag and dye your hair pink around the tips. Until my next post … take care!
It has been grey, cloudy and rainy this month. But on the rare occasion when the sun appears and the temperatures rise to almost 20°C, out comes the summer clothes — if not stripes, then neutrals. I ...
Mother’s Day starts today in many countries. In others, it’s next Sunday. Depending where you are, let’s all give our moms kisses and let them know how much we love them. Happy Moth...
Some who know me well, especially my husband, say I’m a lucky person. I need a shampoo and my favorite one is on sale. Simple things like that. Though in the grander scheme of things, I’v...
I read fashion magazines, follow fashion bloggers, and, of course, indulge in fashion. Nevertheless, it’s not the center of my life. But for others, fashion is their life. And I’m not tal...
One image, divided into two The old and the new; yet, still unified into one That’s the world we live in today . Until my next post … take care!
One of my favorite pastimes in Paris is relaxing and taking a stroll around Jardin des Tuileries. I absolutely love the green chairs, some which are partly reclined, and the circular pools where you ...
About a year ago I started using mainly organic and natural beauty products. Although I’m not yet a full convert, I can proudly say that most of my skincare products are either natural, organic...
I started wearing breton or marinière shirts last summer and I’ve been hooked ever since. When the temperatures rise, I look forward to dawning my striped shirts, which I prefer on the loose si...
Watch out! I have my very own pirate — this is what I call a dish brush. Coupled with the Savon de Marseille dishwashing liquid makes scrubbing dirty plates and pans more fun. Mmm, not really. But it...
My favorite home scent is figue … pardon my French, I much prefer the Francophone spelling. Candles, soaps, dishwashing liquid, home spray, I’m a figue addict. It has an intoxicatingly re...
I’ve visited Paris so many times yet I never tire of it. “I love Paris” by Cole Porter and Ella Fitzgerald Every time i look down on this timeless town, Whether blue or gray be her ...
