Tonight I got to check off yet another item on my Paris Bucket List: buying a book from Shakespeare and Company. I honesty only recently discovered the book lover’s dream near Notre Dame and am ashamed of myself for this fact. However, I know about it now and I believe we’re already in aContinue reading “Shakespeare and Company and the Beautiful Parisian Life”

A Mosque is a Beautiful Thing
Today I visited the mosque in Paris for the first time and it was gorgeous. Overflowing with brilliant flowers, paved with cool teal tiles and quiet like serenity; it was a humbling experience. Take a look.
Being All French
This past weekend, I spent most of my time indulging in crêpes, going to chocolate museums and viewing the Parisian skyline. Sprinkle in a few picnics and a couple of Brits and you have a recipe for the perfect three days. Let’s start with La Maison du Chocolat. Because chocolate. So obviously fromContinue reading “Being All French”
Abercrombie, is that you?
Have you ever seen a multiple story Abercrombie & Fitch? I have, thanks to Paris’ Champs Élysées. Not gonna lie, I put off going to the place for months because I’m not a fan in any way of the brand or culture behind it but curiosity killed the cat, right? Well, I finally strolled throughContinue reading “Abercrombie, is that you?”

So,Continue reading “Trois Souvenirs de ma Jeunesse/My Golden Years”

Everyone in line was helping him orderContinue reading “Oh, those Americans.”
Sleeping Beauty
As the wind lightly rustled the daisies, I lay still taking in the serenity of the forest. Bois de Vincennes was bathed in sunlight and so was I. I always love getting out of the city and embracing my true self in the wilderness; yesterday and today were no exceptions. Bois de Vincennes and BoisContinue reading “Sleeping Beauty”
London Town
Last week, my best friend visited me here in Paris for her spring break. She’d told me before I ever even decided to move to Paris, that she’d spend her break with me and that’s exactly what she did. Aubs has never let me down. Anyway, we met up in London for the weekend beforeContinue reading “London Town”
Bucket Lists!
It has occurred to me that after living in Paris for seven weeks, I should start a bucket list. Or two. So, I’m starting two. I think that having a specific list of things to explore and admire while living in Europe will make this experience even more wonderful. Here are my two bucket lists thatContinue reading “Bucket Lists!”
A New Adventure
So, I realize I haven’t posted in quite a long time on here. I blame that fact on life. Life is crazy busy. But anyway, I figured now is as good a time as any to pick back up and update, seeing as how I’m IN FRANCE FOR THE SUMMER. Yeah, that’s right, France. IContinue reading “A New Adventure”
