As I go along my merry way through the land of the Internet, I come across all sorts of crazy and/or unnecessary things that would be fun to have or just fun to know that they exist.
I am fairly certain that no one would actually use this anymore, but it would be so fun to […]

Actually, we are starting with Argentina in New York. This is Enrique Muthuan, a native Argentinian which explains his wonderful accent, now living in New York. I met him at the corner of Green and Wooster in Soho which sounds a bit bad but really was all quite good. Enrique was just setting up a […]

Previously, I have mentioned Palais Royal, my most favorite spot in Paris, along with Concorde, the Tuileries, Jardin du Luxembourg…..maybe I should just go with, all of PARIS is my favorite spot! I don’t think anyone who knows me would argue with that.

You might not want to try this in your own home unless four women are in it that all have a weakness for handbags. This would be the Poulin women’s very own collection of Longchamp bags that we have gathered over the years in numerous cities, as well as countries, throughout Europe.

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 […]

I am being a total nudge this week-end (my word for lazy) and have been an absolute mouse-potato–just searching the web and shopping as I go along. Thought I would share some of my fun finds.
I hear you […]

This is very weird. Have you ever been on line looking for something and you get caught up with something else on the page, a link, that takes you to another page, and another and before you know it you are 20 clicks away from where you started, finding yourself on a Swiss lighting website […]

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 […]

The museums of Paris have what I would consider some of the best shopping around. Their gift shops are filled with amazing goodies–reproduction jewelry from their collections, scarves, books dedicated to specific exhibits and even the tried and true Mona Lisa mouse pad.
