Dreamy magazine tear outs around the house. Roses in the tub for me and no one else. Staying in Sunday nights with popcorn, a movie, and friends with bad boys broken hearts. Too many shoes to fit in the closet. Spending money we don’t have on lingerie we don’t need. Mini skirts even on days that call for boots. Buying ourselves flowers because boys don’t. Staying after hours and drinking for free because we can. Never getting too old for carousels, and walks through lost Paris everyday like it’s our first time. Behaving badly in public places. This is what makes us girls…

…and crying when things don’t go our way. This is what makes us girls…we all look for heaven but we put love first. See you on facebook, tumblr, and twitter until next time.

I don’t really have a walk in closet…I have more of a “walk up” closet which in french we call a “dressing.” I haven’t had much time for dress up lately so I figured I would give the clothes the spotlight they have been missing while I am inside my house all winter slaving away on my computer for work in my pajamas (yes, shamefully many days I work in pajamas!). This aren’t really the genre of photos I normally share on here, more like for show than really my photography I like to do, but so many readers ask about my closet I felt I should give you something! My closet actually used to be the kitchen of this apartment. I don’t really give two pouts about fashion…but clothes…I LOVE CLOTHES. This closet is my treasure chest of goodies I have carefully collected and curated over the years from all over the world, and Paris especially.

And speaking of Paris, and shopping and clothes and all that I have an other very special announcement! My darling mom who put me on this earth is hosting a very special Paris shopping trip this may! Now while I may be the resident family member in Paris, trust me Jermaine (my mom!) has the whole town fooled. The minute she touches down in Paris she knows how to shop the markets, auctions, brocantes, and fleas of this city better than any Frenchies, probably because she spends her time while I am working being whisked around on the scooters of Paris’ finest art and antiques connoisseurs. And if you know my mom you know she loves a good chat and has gotten the scoop from them all over the last twenty years. She’s definitely not green when it comes to shopping for clothes here, but she has asked me to step in and co-host this part of the trip, and I happily obliged creating a Paris shopping dream itinerary to keep us busy most the day with plenty of time the other thing one should do in Paris, EAT WELL! If you would like to know more about how you can be a part of itΒ FIND IT ALL HERE along with who our other very special host is :-D See you on twitter, facebook, and tumblr or on the Paris shopping trips during May!

 

sleep_1.jpg_effected-003 So much work and stress, not getting nearly enough of this precious resource. Makes me think of how we shouldn’t take it for granted.

Pictures of the Teddy and Roscoe pug napping, my bed I wish I could spend a whole day in, and a very special teddy bear I spent some time with in South Africa. I hope you are all well rested. See you on facebook, twitter, and tumblr.
