More from the City of Light

 Being in Paris during fashion week poses a complex problem for someone who's been wearing jeans almost daily for the last looooong while: what to wear???

Luckily, I've packed lots a dresses, lots of black and tons of accessories. And if all else fails, I have a major department store right in front of my rented studio apartment. Phewwww.

 Here are some pictures taken about town. I started out the day (  yes, I got up quite late) enjoying an Obama burger at a trendy diner by the name of Coffee Parisien on rue Princesse. It was très très cool indeed.

Des fleurs, toujours des fleurs.

A sweet pup catching some zzzz's ( in a fabulous chair..)caught on film through the window.

Bonne nuit from Paris.

Christmas in the Country

Spending time in the country these days, researching, writing, sleeping ( after a crazy three weeks) and now Christmas decorating, my favorite! We even chopped our tree ourselves this year, a first.

I found these great country style ornaments at Canadian Tire (a Canadian hardware store chain)for $0.99 and $9.99 for a box of four  yesterday and hung them in every window, they look really fantastic!

Hope that you all have a fantastic weekend!

Don't forget to participate in the holiday accessories giveaway!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 

To all my American readers and friends, may your Thanksgiving be filled with joy, great food and wine.

 Not what we give,
But what we share,
For the gift
without the giver
Is bare.

The Classics from WSJ

Wall Street Journal

The WSJ is recommending making these prudent fashion investments...I must say that they're much more attractive than shares of Citigroup!
