In Paris.

Ah, just imagine, disembarking on the banks of the Seine to head to dinner on a warm fall evening while the sun is still shining lightly on the outskirts of Paris.

Paris always brings back wonderful memories of weekends with the girls, lunches at the hotel Costes, 6am tea on the balcony overlooking the Champs Elysee, dancing in the Ritz hallways with Percy, amazing dinners at Pompidou with Las Guapas, parties near the Arc d' Triomphe and perhaps one of the best.....driving to Paris and getting stuck on the Belgium highway for hours. This all, combined with the ever so-lovely macarroon treats at Laduree.

Paris! The mere mention of it brings glamour to your day.

high heels






Today I came across an article by Neal Blitz about ‘high heel hangovers’; the article, quite insightful and helpful was a nice read. It was however, some of the comments below that were very funny. One of them….and I quote (no…I was not the one who wrote this) “I wear stilettos or high heels just about everyday, if they hurt that means the style or size is not right for me” (I do agree of course, if it hurts it means it is just not styled correctly) (or maybe we just keep repeating this to convince ourselves that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a pair of wonderfully sexy (red-soled) high heels). And, if by chance you are at least willing to admit to yourself that your feet hurt beyond belief, that a rest might indeed be a good idea and that there is a part of your wardrobe that looks awesome with ballerinas……read the article by Neal.

"That which we elect to surround ourselves with become the musueam of our soul and the archive of our experience"

"Whether it be the people we choose, the events we attend, the road we take, the media we listen to, the places we visit, how we spend our time, it gradually molds us, shapes us into a person we hopefully, consciously want to become"

Paris is the city in which one loves to live. Sometimes I think this is because it is the only city in the world where you can step out of a railway station—the Gare D’Orsay—and see, simultaneously, the chief enchantments: the Seine with its bridges and bookstalls, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the beginning of the Champs Elysees—nearly everything except the Luxembourg Gardens and the Palais Royal. But what other city offers as much as you leave a train?-Margaret Anderson
