From LANCASTER to Paris with Lancaster Paris

I walked along Rue St Honore today to visit some of the most spectacular boutiques close to the Louvre, on my way to the Madeleine and I stumbled upon Lancaster, Paris!  How perfect is this brand for me, being I’m FROM Lancaster and now RESIDE in Paris?  I simply must have a bag from here! […]

Scarfs and STRIPES forever *****

Ok, so maybe not the Stars, though no doubt the Scarfs and the Stripes.  I’ve always thought of Parisians as wearing stripes, a beret and having a baguette in tow, each day.  And I have to say, I’m fairly close.  Maybe not so much the beret, but certainly stripes and baguettes.  And why wouldn’t you?  Paris […]

Ooh La La, Le Marais

Le Marais, what I’ll always remember as a spicy, edgy, phenomenal place to get lost for hours- enjoying the quaint streets, the small boutiques and some of the best shopping in all of Paris.  These petite streets are beyond charming.  It’s almost as if they’re enticing you to stroll along to get consumed within it […]

What a difference a day makes…

Like most places, when you’re a “stranger” in a new city (as they call foreigners here in Paris), there’s always adjustments to be made.  The continual joke for living here in Paris is that perhaps I’m too smiley for this town and that I somehow need to perfect my “resting bitch face!”  Well, today it […]

Dam(n), I love Amsterdam!

Although I’ve been before, I was ready to explore and experience Amsterdam once again.  I left Paris to experience a new city…especially as most Parisians are on vacation anyway… and I didn’t come to Paris to hang out with Americans. I must say that the driving, even the walking around in Amsterdam is complete insanity.  Bikes […]
