tu me manques

I wanted to share a few photos from Paris, whom I miss very much. I've been too busy to go back and life hasn't really made it easy either. But this pass year has been very hard, probably because I was supposed to go for a month in March and it fell through. Oh Paris, I miss you dearly. I wanted to share MORE photos, but the power is out at my house, so this will have to do for now. I'll continue to share more on thursdays as my little "throwback"...

*sidenote I HATED that photo when it was taken of me a few years ago, but now looking back I love how candid and happy I look, funny how your perception of things change over time. By the way, here's a great french song (sort of) to express how I've been feeling lately! Just tugs on your heart strings right?

remembering Paris (pt 1)

( i seriously adore this last picture I took, she embodied the perfect french woman in my eyes, beautiful, effortless, chic, and even looks great with me snapping her photos while walking through the louvre)

I can't believe 2011 is almost over, I'm not ready! I honoring this great year and my blog's birthday I decided to get a little nostalgic and reflect on my trip to Europe. Though London was amazing, Paris has a deeply special place in my heart. I've never felt so at home until I was there. I mean my family is french but I'm fairly american. I finally felt "normal" when I walked through those dizzying streets, and quickly accepted the Parisian lifestyle. I wanted to share some photos of my trip with you but I have so much to share! So I'll have to do it in a few parts.

Oh a few lessons from my trip;

Lesson one: Parisians are lovely people, and if anyone tells you other wise, they probably did something to piss them off.

Lesson number two: if your french is tres rusty (like mine!) and you need to tell someone something in English. Say it in a french accent, NO LIE, it totally works.

Lesson three: WEAR WHAT YOU WANT MAKE STATEMENTS, ITS FRANCE!

a side note: I blended in tell well in Paris, I could tell it was home, I got asked over 10 times where something was BY AMERICANS, ENGLISH, AND FRENCH PEOPLE...lol it was funny, made me feel like I was doing something right....haha!
