the best scarves in the world.

period.

i strive for la joie de vivre -- which is what this blog is all about.

so it's appropriate i've been obsessed with french (read: parisian) culture since i was a little girl.

i fell in love with france while studying history in high school (i'm a major history nerd). and since i'm a romantic, it seems like the perfect place to be swept off my feet (just in case that actually happens, i've been perfecting my french at alliance francaise).

i'm constantly stumbling on items to covet because they remind me of la vie en paris. here are four.

(from left to right: macarons by nadege (ladurée is simply too far away), parisian chic, bensimons, entre nous)

spontaneously craft a plan with me to move to paris. who's with me? (i don't care that this video is for a language school... they sell themselves so well!)

there's something so romantic about lockets... putting a picture of your love inside so he/she is always angling for your heart. they're the perfect gift for a die-hard lover like me. these ones from les fleurs are adorable. mix-and-match the colours or double-up and wear more than one at a time.
