Well, finding Paris in New York is much easier than I thought–especially if you take your search to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Today, I took an incredibly long cab ride from my hotel in SoHo to the museum–clearly I was being ripped off as the ride home took a mere 10 minutes. The rest of […]
We’re not in Paris today and that is probably a good thing since the weather is not cooperating and being its crappy Parisian self. Beautiful things sometimes think they can get away with that….being crappy and still be loved. Not with me they can’t. So, I decided we need to get out of town and […]
Le Bon Marché, considered the world’s first department store, offering “the good market” or “the good deal” was founded in 1838 by Aristide Boucicaut. It is touted as the first “space” dedicated specifically to shopping and was the first to incorporate iron work (thanks to Gustave Eiffel) to create an open space while using less […]
As crazy as this sounds, the Bibliothèque Nationale, or National Library, is worth a visit while in Paris. Maybe not on your first visit while you are trying to get through the basics, but certainly your second or third time over you should try and get there. Don’t think just “library” as there are temporary and […]
I am fairly up on art, sculpture, design–artsy fartsy kinds of things you might say. But I cannot tell a lie, I have never heard of Richard Serra. Or if I have it just isn’t registering with me right now and I will have to ask my resident art expert, my daughter, Taylor.
Richard Serra–he is an […]
I’m in the process of weeding things from my surroundings as our family gets ready to pack up the last 12 years of our life and come July, all splitting off in different directions as we go through a monumental shift in how and where we live our lives. As a result, I have been […]
First off, I just have to say that I could not love this graphic more and would chop it all up and use it a million different ways in crazy collages or decoupaged on a pendent to create a necklace or bracelet charm. Too much fun. The guy is Napoleon and Musée des Arts décoratifs […]
Yesterday I posted the Top 20 To Do List in the City of Lights according to Miriele Gilianio, author of French Women For All Seasons and Why French Women Don’t Get Fat. I have personally taken advantage of all the sites she has proposed and I think it is only fair to give you some additional […]
This photo should move you in one of three ways: you have no idea what is and are moved not at all, you are an avid lover of art and know exactly what it is or you have a daughter that you’re trying to raise to be culturally aware
and have given her the book Linnea and therefore, […]
I love this city no matter what time of day it is. However, if I could teleport myself anywhere, anytime and be totally wowed by something, I think seeing Paris at night for the first time ever would be beyond magnificent. For me, it feels more “alive” at night. All that’s hidden allows what has […]
