    I just found your blog from Paris Apartment and after looking at all the gorgeous photos realized you are the author of one of my favorite books! I really love your beautiful book. It is so well done. I am traveling to Paris for the first time today and I can't wait to see the beautiful buildings for myself.

    Window shopping in Paris is the best! I've never seen more artfully executed displays anywhere. An entire book could be published on Paris shop windows alone! Thanks for these beautiful photos - such eye candy.

    Laduree's new packaging reminds me a lot of my religieuse painting from last year!LOL

    I just loved the shop on your post with all the beautiful white porcelain pieces. I also took a photo of that chandelier and if I could I would have taken a few pieces home with me, thank-you for always reminding me of Paris :)
