Got lost in these blogs! So fun! Thank you

now I subscribed to findingmoon.
Loved the photos of the Lilacs. I could almost smell them. |
Phread, did Baccys used to be Bistro & Terroir? Was looking at Google Maps to see if I could find it (trip coming in 2 weeks!)and saw Bistro & Terroir there. It looks really good...but maybe it's gone?
Fun blog! I'm green with envy. Need to book a pedi! :-D |
Grasshopper, yes. Bistro & Terroir has been replaced by Bakkys. If you're in the 'hood, Les Garcons is nearby and it is quite fun. Depardieu has a place called Le Bien Nommé that I'd still like to try and Josephine chez Dumonet is still there, still superb.

Thanks! I'll check them out!
|
Love this blog. Thank you Phread!
|
Loving the blog!
|
Thanks all. Tomorrow, some women's fashion, focusing on scarves, because it is cold in Paris this spring!
|
Contrary to U.S. tradition, I saw a lot of white pants being worn last year mid May by stylish women. Even white jeans. And a lot of wedge shoes.
|
Yes, Ines de la Fressange has written a book on Paris chic and she swears by white jeans throughout the year!
|
Friday@Flore has now been posted for the ladies...
|
So fun to people-watch during my lunch hour. ;-)
Thanks, Phread - love your blog. |
I'm in Paris right now, was in London last week. It's damp and chilly. Layers, tank top, long sleeve T and knit top and a cardigan under a water proof jacket/coat. Try for silk or microfibre, linen or fine wool, as cotton holds onto the moisture and chills you.
Boots are good because it's raining. So don't forget an umbrella. I found my leather gloves a godsend when traveling this time. Despite reading all the advice, I packed too much. Guilty of bringing 4 pairs of shoes. Could have managed with two, three would have been perfect. Also, one pair of earrings, watch and and pearls would have been enough. Don't ask! My pashminas have been worn daily. Dental floss makes a good laundry line tied between two coat hangers. At the Opera tonight lots of Little Black dresses and some coloured short dresses or skirt/pants with dressy tops. Some people with jeans, leggings, but they were the vast minority. A group of 19th Century historical re-enactors attended in the most beautiful gowns, men in top hat and tails. |
The 19th century group sounds fantastic and your dental floss solution made me laugh!
Today, I wrote about the latest 'it' bag. Enjoy! http://findingnoon.com/ |
What a great travel tote! Thanks for your update!
|
I really like that tote! I hope I can find one while I am there in May. What are the best stores to look for one?
|
My third day here and I have seen everything. I think the men are the most stylish. Dominique, our landlord set the bar high and have yet to see anyone else impress me. She was dressed off the wall and loved her look. All her own with the most beautiful dress/pinafore and striped socks with laced up ankle boots. All different shades of green. It is rainy and cold and have noticed there is no flat ironed hair. All very wild and curly. I have had a horrrible time finding anything made in France. Even the Bourjois makeup is Italy. Funny though, did find barrettes that were made in France by an outdoor vendor 2 for 9 and they have Monet paintings on them.Dressing for raim again today. It held off for our Pere Lacahise walk yesterday.

Plumeria, There is a link at the bottom of my post that has the address of one store. Another store is La Central at 29 rue du Four. otherwise, they are everywhere, just look in the windows!
|
This is really strange, because I posted a photo of the Vanessa Bruno tote, not the colour-block one, but the one with the sequins here years ago.
