What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving? Sure, What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving? Sure, it’s a tough year on the gratitude front. But for me, I’ve come to re-appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Family time. Glasses of wine. Freshly picked flowers. Laundered linen. Conversation. Music. Reading. All those little things that are really the big things in life. Oh, and macarons. Way too many macarons. (‘Merci’ card by @mashadyans) 🙏🏽
It’s a month until Christmas! Have you done your It’s a month until Christmas! Have you done your shopping yet? If not, click the link in bio for a selection of perfectly Parisian gift ideas — for your favourite Francophiles or, of course, for yourself. Also, if you haven’t yet put up your tree, here’s some inspiration courtesy of @galerieslafayette. The department store’s festive theme this year is travel, which is kind of ironic for 2020, but also nicely hopeful. Given the latest vaccine news, we might just be able to get back to Paris next year to shop there for real. Which is, personally, all I want for Christmas 🎄🎁🙏🏽
There’s talk that the future of international tr There’s talk that the future of international travel might require passengers to have a ‘vaccine passport’ to gain entry into other countries — similar to how some destinations ask for proof of, say, yellow fever vaccination. What are your thoughts? Would you have a COVID-19 vaccine in order to get back to Paris? I think you know what my answer is … ✈️
That moment when the City of Light lights up 💫 That moment when the City of Light lights up 💫 How gorgeous is this photo by @antho.dlx via @unsplash? It makes my heart tingle 💖
One of my favourite Parisian interior décor inven One of my favourite Parisian interior décor inventions is boiserie, which is basically pretty wood panelling for walls. Think the kind of pastel moulded backdrop Madame de Pompadour would have loved. This new coffee table book is by the Parisian decorative woodwork experts @feauboiseries, whose studio goes back to 1875, and the photos of their work (they both restore and reproduce panelling for homes all over the world) will have you swooning 💫
Thinking about the people who make Paris Paris, wh Thinking about the people who make Paris Paris, who uphold the idiosyncratic traditions of the city. Such as the bouquinistes, the buskers (including my favourite dancer, Madeleine), and the al fresco painters (like this cheery artist who happily let me snap his photo early this year). It must be so tough for them to ply their trades without tourists in town, and going into a winter lockdown on top of that. I can’t wait to get back there as soon as possible, and do my bit in supporting and thanking them 🙏🏽
It’s Pierre Hermé’s birthday today (bon anni It’s Pierre Hermé’s birthday today (bon anniversaire, @pierrehermeofficial!) and wouldn’t it be nice if we could all celebrate with a trip to Paris to buy one of the prettiest, most scrumptious cakes ever — an Ispahan, the rose, raspberry & lychee confection that was originally designed by the pâtissier himself 🎂
In that parallel Parisian universe in which my hea In that parallel Parisian universe in which my head lives, I’m celebrating World Philosophy Day by thinking deep and meaningful thoughts upstairs at Café de Flore, alongside the ghosts of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre 🤔
