But go ahead and read them now!
French Aesthetic Outfits {Wit & Whimsy}
Meghan has an eye for French aesthetic and style. She styles her outfits with such “wit and whimsy” and her outfits are easy to duplicate. I’ll have to look through some of her blog posts to see if there are any outfits that I can duplicate and put on my dress form.
Spring Style Q&A {With Love From Kat}
Kat’s style is stylish mix of California cool and New York City chic. Her fashion color palette of choice is mainly filled with neutrals. Whether she’s answering spring style questions or fall style questions, she knows about style.
How to Define Your Signature Style {Kate Waterhouse}
Another stylish woman I follow is Kate, who can wear practically anything and look amazing. In this link, she shares some tips on how you can define your signature style.
“More often than not, your gut will tell you which styles are winners and which ones aren’t, so it pays to listen to it. It won’t steer you wrong.”

Here’s The Skinny on Lymphatic Drainage {Molly Sims}
I’ve seen celebrities, from Cindy Crawford to Elle MacPherson, touting the amazing results of lymphatic drainage. I would love to experience a professional lymphatic drainage treatment for myself; however, this treatment can by done on oneself at home. “The result? Well, besides flushing out waste, it can reduce water weight, and have slimming and contouring effects (hence those tight ab photos), among other amazing perks.” There are many super helpful tutorials on YouTube for reference.
What Designers & Photographers Missed Most About PFW {Vogue}
Fashion shows around the world have been mainly “virtual” this past year and both designers and photographers have missed out on not only the hub-bub of a live show, but of the personal interaction. Read this VOGUE article to find out what they have missed about Paris Fashion Week.
Pictures of New Yorkers in Their Homes {The Guardian}
I’ve always loved articles, stories, or TV shows that take readers or viewers inside someone’s home. Seeing how they styled a certain room or reading about the decision behind their paint choices is wonderfully interesting, and inspiring, to me. So to see these New Yorkers in their homes, and to see how much they can pack into their homes, makes me feel better about how much I have packed into my slightly larger home.
Meet the 14 Candidates for France’s Favorite Village of 2021 {Forbes, via Landon Kerr}
This is probably my favorite French village.
Ahhh…. France. There are countries around the world that have lovely, quaint villages, but France holds a special place in my heart. I would vote for all of these villages as my favorite! Which one would you vote for?
Hello, My Age is: 40 Latham Thomas {Goop}
I’ve had the honor of meeting Latham Thomas at a couple of BlogHer conferences. She is “the founder of the hugely successful Mama Glow, a Brooklyn-based maternity wellness center for doula support, pelvic floor therapy, acupuncture, nutritional guidance, endless events and panels (now virtual, on everything from fertility and sex to breastfeeding and midwifery), and more.” Read this link to get to know this amazing woman.
What I’m Reading Now {Every Day Parisian}
I’m always on the lookout for the next book to read {or in my case, listen to}. After listening to All the Light We Cannot See and The Nightingale on my Libby {library} app, I’ve been looking for books based in Paris, so I can’t wait to check out some of these books.
“For other books that are in my queue to read next, “The Paris Seamstress” and “The Book of Lost Names”. I have always been interested in WWII France books. Two of my favorites if you haven’t read them are “All the Light We Cannot See” and “The Nightingale”.”

It may have some ingredients you haven’t heard of, but good news — her tartine recipes are customizable!
