Just a start….
In anticipation of the new year, I have decided to stagger my Paris posts and instead take the evening to reflect on some of my favorite moments of 2011. Click below to see more— this was so much fun!!
Tomorrow is only Christmas eve and yet today, on the 23rd of December, I can prematurely name this my favorite Christmas of all time. I am in North Carolina, and have just returned from a week in Paris (the world’s greatest and most romantic Christmas gift, from Matt) and two days spent with his family in NYC. The pictures below are just a small sampling of what I will post, as I plan to write thorough descriptions of all the neighborhoods, restaurants, clubs, and museums we visited. In an effort to remain in the moment of this perfect little holiday, however, I will have to pick up this task sometime next week. Until then, Merry Christmas!!!
(L) The foyer in our apartment in Le Marais. We even had a Christmas tree!! I love the beautiful antique furniture and the herringbone hardwood floors.
(R) Wall to wall books. It was a dream. Look at that dream.
Staying in to cook dinner, drink wine, and read books on a rainy night.
Sipping ‘la piscine’ at Le Pompon.
(L) Drinking vin chaud to keep warm while shopping at the Champs-Élysées Christmas market.
(R) Merci Boutique. I think I went here four times.
(L) Le baron.
(R) Superdunny and Charly Party dj set at Le Pompon!
And finally: walking around the streets of le marais on our last day in Paris.
Swinging at dusk by the marsh, waiting for the oysters to steam.
Baking an apple pie, not without Bloody Marys.
Thanksgiving dinner, not without fresh caught shrimp.
The perfect hour.
The best part of the trip. <3
My childhood neighborhood.
I borrowed a few of these lovely stills from director Jessica Collins who I recently collaborated with on a music video for ImmaBillU.
I have found myself looking for excuses to stop by her place to catch a quick glimpse of the editing progress. Jessica is the next big thing, you heard it here first! And so is ImmaBillU!
