I’ll admit: sculpture is beyond me. I’m much more of a paintings gal (Renoir is my jam, but I have a soft spot for Impressionism in general). But, I’ve heard so much about Rodin Museum in Paris (and it’s so close to me in the 7th Arrondissement) that I had to pop over, if only […]

If you know me, you know I melt for antiques. And if you tack on the word “camera” to “antiques,” well, I’ll be there. Paris is known for having several renowned flea markets, and Les Puces de Saint-Ouen is reputed to be the largest in the world. Not sure if it’s true, but what is […]

Safara and I bonded over our mutual love for clothes with pockets. She came wearing a super cool pair or wide-legged pants, and my first question was…”pockets?”. Sadly for the both of us, no.

So, I’m still on the hunt for the best croissant in Paris. Although my friend said that finding the best croissant quickly would be no fun…I also have to admit that finding yourself in the land of bread but also in a croissant desert is not exactly the ideal situation, either. A few weeks ago, […]

Something I love about Paris is the abundance of florists and flower markets. It’s hard to take a long stroll and not fall on something absolutely delightful. So here’s another running list for you, to be updated as I make more discoveries. My favorite florists and flower markets in Paris, voilà! Julian This one’s not too far […]

Even if you’re not a Paris fan, there is one concession I think everyone can make: the city is incredibly well-designed. I’m not talking about architecture (although I have all the heart eyes for that!) — I’m talking about the city planning. If you ever find yourself at the Louve, head over to the Arc […]
