weekend wishes...

 

Some weeks start out fantastic.. and end not so fantastic... but next week we will start anew with great expectations and optomism (at least that is what I am telling myself).

Here are a few things to get us through the weekend...

Take me away to Barcelona.. yes please..

Maybe if I eat this salad all weekend I will feel fantastic?  Better?

This little dress from Emerson Fry seems perfect for Spring and Summer.  Yes?

Apparently my brain just wants to entertain lately..  I cannot get enough of these posts!

Last but not least we have added some great new lighting to the shop.. stop in for a look see!

Somethings are so beautiful I just cannot help but share them.  I know I don't have anything in my future that says I need a couture gown but if I did this would be a contender!

By Invitation: enchanted evening...

The invitations have been sent and we are off to an little holiday party...  I am so excited to get all dressed up and have a lovely time with my friends!  (I hope no one minds if I over do it a little- I don't get out much...) 

 

We don't ever want to forget a gift for the hostess and a little something for the other guests too..  macarons to be enjoyed at the party and a little something for her to enjoy while relaxing after everyone has gone home...

Please do visit the other ladies to see what everyone was wearing!

dress, shoes, hair, bag

A room with a view of Paris

When we stayed in Paris, I decided that staying in an apartment would be the way to go.  I had heard great things about the difference it could make in your trip.  Having a place to rest your head that was more of a home was very appealing to me.  I have been to Paris several times and my best trips were spent with a friend who lived there for a few years in an amazing apartment just steps from the Tuleries Gardens.  Both times I stayed with her I really felt like Paris could be home for me.  I knew the neighborhood and where I could eat comfortably as well as the great shopping that was near by. 

This time I wanted to stay as close as possible to the neighborhood that I knew.  Maybe not my best choice.  I struggled to find an apartment that worked for 3 of us in the 1st Arr. 

We settled in an apartment from A la Carte Paris in the 17th.  It was perfect for us, clean, comfortable and it had a cute little kitchen and a large bathroom.  The view was perfectly wonderful and the neighborhood divine.   Shopping was super close and quite good.  Even a small outdoor market several days a week, we were able to buy fresh food everyday and really enjoy all that Paris had to offer.

It made the trip and gave us the feeling of home!  I learned a thing or two about Paris and it's neighborhoods, there is more than one great place in the city and maybe I should give them all a try.
