Links I Love Week 13

Happy April! It has been a great weekend in Chicago. The Paris Guide officially launched this week and my husband surprised me with John Mayer tickets. We had two amazing meals at our favorite restaurants in the city. 

With every purchase of The Paris Guide, you support a small business owner and allow Everyday Parisian to continue being a source of inspiration for all things Paris. I’m deeply grateful for this incredible community that has encouraged the creation of this guide, and I hope it helps you create memories that will be treasured for years to come.

April is my birthday month, and I plan an upcoming trip to Paris. Next weekend, I will be celebrating with my husband. I cannot wait to share more details of the trip and what is on the agenda. There will be updates to The Paris Guide, and I am working on a new special project. 

Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for this week’s links I love.

I bought this dress in navy and sized up to a six; as mentioned in the reviews, the sizing was UK and runs small. It arrived so quickly, and it’s a stunner! The price is a bit more than the other dresses I mentioned but the quality and fit are superb. I want it in another color. Use the code ACCOUNTSF for 10% I also got it in white.

  1. Hi Rebecca I am in Paris since March 31st until April 12th. Have been walking throughout the city, both sides of Seine, no problems at all. Garbage is gone, workers washing garbage bins and streets. It is no different than it was in December. Any of your readers concerned about travelling, no need. Go and enjoy

    • Hi Fidelma,

      Thank you so much for writing and giving this helpful update to the EDP community. I appreciate it.

  2. Hi Rebecca, you mentioned you are heading to Paris next weekend. Would you be so kind to provide a “real” update on how the city is? I have plans to go the week of the 18th in April staying in Saint Germain des Pres district (my go to always) and wanted to hear from you how the city is even with all the garbage, strikes etc. Thank you in advance for your “opinion”.
