Mini Guide to Paris
By Laure At Home, on Mon May 12, 2008 8:46pm PDT[Ed. note: This is wonderful, Laure! Thanks for sharing! Anyone else have any favorite spots in Paris—for great home stuff or anything else?]
Paris in the springtime. Nothing could be nicer, right? How about running around with so many things on your list of to do's that you miss, well, Paris? A faithful reader is going to be in Paris in a matter of weeks so I've compiled a list of favorite neighborhood places. But I think one of the nicest things about Paris is that you really can't go wrong. It's all beautiful, there are great shops all over, so just enjoy and don't try to cram too much in!
Le Marais is my favorite part of the city:
Check out Beaubourg/The Pompidou Center and from there find your way to Rue Des Francs Bourgeois, it runs east west starting to the east of the Pompidou. If you follow this you will find a Muji, Auteur du Monde, and a bunch of great little boutiques. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (4) | Blog

Floral print sheets from Porthault
By Rita Konig, Girl About Town, Domino Magazine, on Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:30am PDT
I went into Porthault the other day looking for blue floral prints. Rose (the appropriately named lady who sees over this herbaceous store) sent me pictures from the stock books in Paris. I just about slid off my chair as I looked over what she sent. Firstly aren't these books heaven? New York is just about bursting with spring, so I can't get enough of a floral print. After these charming flowers that I have never seen before came a page of the more familiar hearts... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog

By Venus In Combat Boots, on Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:50pm PDTEarlier today, I walked up to Jardin du Luxembourg - a perfect, beautiful, peaceful place to take a casual stroll.

The Paris Diaries - Day Four
By Venus In Combat Boots, on Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:49pm PDTYesterday I decided to be a good little introvert and stay inside to recouperate and re-energize. Being around so much energy can be draining - especially when one isn't feeling well. A day of solitude (save a brief trip to the Franprix for a few groceries) was exactly what I needed - I feel...

The Paris Diaries - Day Three
By Venus In Combat Boots, on Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:47pm PDTI was able to meet one of my MySpace friends, Nicolas, on Monday and you can't imagine what a great gift this was for me! He has a car, so he was able to take me all over Paris and show me many, if not all, of the arrondissements in the northeast and southeast part of the city.Nicolas lives in... Read More »

The Paris Diaries - Day Two
By Venus In Combat Boots, on Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:45pm PDTOn Sunday (Day Two), I walked around the Ile de la Cite - where Notre Dame is. I had wanted to go in to the church at 5:00 to hear the organ for Sunday mass, but the crowds were too much for me. Thousands of people were swarming around the front of the church - it was amazing! So, instead, I walked... Read More »

Big Blonde In A Little French Neighborhood
By Venus In Combat Boots, on Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:42pm PDT(Which is only funny if you know the Chris Farley skit from SNL...or not.)I made it to the Monoprix ok - no problem! But something went terribly wrong when I left. The Monoprix, BTW, was supposed to be an upscale Target - at least that's what I read. Au contraire, mon frere (ou soeur). Not even... Read More »
