this is the last of my paris content – i promise! on our last night, we had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable meal at frenchie. because our seating was at 9am, these pictures turned out a bit dark.

i was so lucky to spend the labor day long weekend in paris with my best friend. below is just a taste of what we were up to.

i treated myself to a beautiful pair of sandals from the summer sales from 24sevres. i usually don’t expect much from sale packaging, and was delighted when my purchase came with a personalized box and a paris pop up. oh and the shoes are pretty great too.

in addition to my gorgeous astier de villatte pottery, my other big purchase from paris last fall was a classic celine box bag. i went specifically looking for this mint green, and found the last one at the celine store on avenue montaigne.
i was waiting until spring to use the bag, but something about the cool shade feels right in this crisp weather. the quality is stunning, and it holds just what i need on a daily basis.

i’m finally getting around to loading some of my vacation pictures from august. every time i go back, i am in awe of paris’s unspeakable beauty. i still dream of being able to live there one day, even if its only for a few months.
i stayed at the hotel thoumieux. i can’t believe it has been 5 years since my first post about this place.
liquor bottles as window decoration. why not?
even groceries look better in french.
the city is possibly even more beautiful in the rain.

even though i have stayed in the 7th arrondissement before, this was my first time visiting michel chaudun’s chocolate shop. i went there for the famous pave box, and of course left with even more. even though i don’t smoke, i love how the chocolate box is shaped like a cigarette box. tres chic.
pave box. make sure to keep refrigerated and eat within 10 days. this was clearly not an issue for me, given that this picture was taken about 15 minutes after i left the shop.

i happened to pick up a copy of french elle decor when i was in paris in september, and found myself struck by this lovely parisian apartment. i recycled the magazine, but not before scanning these pages. this home is both clean yet warm, and chic yet very livable. who wouldn’t want to soak in that tub for hours?
i’m considering ways to change up my apartment decor slightly, and i think this is a great place to start.
also, i don’t speak any french, so i couldn’t tell you if this article is interesting or not. for those of you who do, i hope it is interesting!

on my recent trip to france, i spent an amazing five days in one of the most magical cities in the world – paris. my previous trip to paris has already been documented, so i thought i would limit this post to a few of my favorite shots.

i did my best while i was in france to keep my shopping in line with my new marie kondo’ed apartment – i did not purchase anything that did not spark joy. i also tried to focus on buying things that would both serve a purpose in my life while also reminding me of my wonderful trip.
here is what i came home with:
{from top: woven market basket with leather handles; eric bombard cashmere sweaters (side note, the black has navy lace panels down the side – it definitely deserves its own post); chanel cat eye sunglasses; blue stuffed elephant from tartan et chocolate; lavender-filled satchets}
