Friday en Français : Recette américaine

Ok, pour ce vendredi en français…je vous propose une recette, facile. Cette recette m’a été servie pendant mon enfance et adolescence très souvent, car c’est facile, rapide et on peut en faire un bol énorme (je viens d’une famille assez grande en faite). Et bon, c’est la fin de la semaine, on est fatigué, on n’a pas forcément envie de labourer dans la cuisine à faire des plats compliqués…c’est…

Paris Wedding Wednesday : The Photographer

So I wanted to share with all of you, my fabulous “find” if I can call her that : Elisabeth Perotin.

She has been a photographer for five years, ans started doing wedding photography two years ago. It was when looking for someone to capture her own wedding that she fell under the charm of the American type of wedding photography such as Simply Bloom Photography, or Melissa Johnston and Elisabeth…

Paris Wedding Wednesday : Join the Circus!!

It absolutely tickles me to compare a wedding to a circus…because, I mean really, who are we kidding! A wedding is a beautiful event, of course, but preparing it, and trying to appease everyone’s desires and calm the emotions of the drama queens, well… I am sure wedding planner Kim Petytknows something of THAT! It is, essentially, a circus with a white dress and a few “lions” that could need to…

Friday en français : Et si… (What if)

Et si j’étais danseuse à l’Opéra de Paris…j’habiterais à Paris.

Et si j’étais écrivain de romans, je vivrais à Paris pour m’inspirer.

Et si j’étais créatrice de mode, j’aurais mon atelier à Paris.

Et si j’étais musicienne, je jouerais des concerts pour les parisiens.

Et si j’étais artiste je ferais mes œuvres à Paris.

Et si j’arrêtais de rêver, je verrais que je vie mon rêve. J’habite Paris!

Friday en français : …non pas la fin, mais…

Ce segment qui a lieu tous les vendredis depuis un certain temps, que j’appelle “Friday en français” ne sera pas terminé…mais ne sera pas soutenu non plus.

La vie, elle s’entasse des choses à faire, des obligations, des rendez-vous, et tout et tout… Et je me trouve ayant du mal à m’inspirer toutes les semaines pour écrire ce segment. Mais désirant de ne pas le terminer pour toujours, je vous…

Fashion week coming soon…

In two days the city of Paris will be in the midsts of that crazy time of year that thrills those of us who love fashion…fashion week!

The Spring and Summer 2012 collections will be shown…and as long as the apocalypse doesn’t ACTUALLY happen, we will get to wear all of these fine garments when the warmer weather seasons rolls back around again. ;)

September 27th to October 5th… find the défilésch…

Blog birthday number 2!

I can hardly believe it has been two years since I began this little blog. Time has literally flown by!

I will be celebrating by taking a much needed rest today, kicking my feet up, sipping a giant cup of tea and curling up with Chéri on the couch in front of a movie most likely. And if I am feeling ambitious, maybe make some lactose free cookies!

But for all of my lovely readers, I thought I…

Paris Wedding Wednesday : DIY napkins

I saw the concept of personalized napkins on theknot.com but they don’t ship to France, so I thought I’d make my own!

I bought a “Life is a Circus” stamp on Etsy (a site that I am obsessed with!) And then created my own personalized stamps on rubberstamps.net with images I had created with an image editing program called Gimp (on which I could literally spend hours designing things). The stamps…
