Links I Love Week 39
I am back from Paris and back into my routine at home. Surprisingly, I kicked jet lag faster than usual. Aside from a rough first night attending an event, I adjusted well. I took butter home with me this past trip, which I have always wanted to do. It was fairly easy; I didn’t vacuum seal it because of the colder weather, and it stayed cold under the plane. The woman at the airport was so surprised at my love of French butter. It was worth it as I enjoyed a baguette from our local market with the salted goodness this weekend.
Paris was fantastic, and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to spend this week shooting, exploring, and discovering new restaurants for The Paris Guide and making some progress on a project.
On my last night in Paris, I had a quiet meal where I wrote down notes from the trip. When I arrive at CDG to return home, the trip feels like one big dream. I used this time to reflect on the trip and use it to find inspiration on what to share in future blog posts.
One of my favorite posts I love writing is a roundup of fashion trends spotted in Paris. Stay tuned for what Parisians are wearing right now.
The calendars are in, and I will resume shipping. So keep an eye on your inbox for tracking. I appreciate your patience!
