This American Life

You can take a girl out of  California but you can’t take the California out of a girl? Oui, c’est cliché. I don’t exactly feel like some displaced American in France (and I do love cheese!) but I’m quite charmed by the comfort of an American life these days. I spent my teens lusting after Europe, and as a French resident for what has creeped up onto four years already, I must confess I wonder if I’ve just been after it’s looks all these years. Either way I am committed to couples therapy for Paris and I this Fall (no really I am actually working to get the spark back) but in the meantime I’m enjoying my American affair. Los Angeles is his name and he wakes me up every morning with a tequila sunrise and at night he’s bright as a firework. Throw me on the back of a motorcycle and take me out to the ballgame or drive off into the sunset. As long we’re together I could live like this forever…

Summer of Love

I’m loving everything lately about my So Cal summer. Sleeping in and sunsets on the horizons are how days begin and end. Freedom is cruise control at seventy five with the windows down, the right song on the radio, and my ride or die at the wheel. The food is fresh and guilty pleasures never far between. Time is measured in sun tans and always abundant enough to stop and smell the roses…

This purse and shirt were my christmas gifts to myself. The shirt print is Miss Piggy obviously! I bought it because I love it, and also because some jerk once told me I looked like Miss Piggy to hurt my feelings. It sounds weird but wearing it is sort of my way of saying who gives a f***! Héhé. See you on facebook, tumblr, and twitter until next time.
