Sephora

…And here are a few of the things I love about Paris and all things Parisian.

Sephora, yes I know it is a French brand, but it was originally founded in Paris in 1970. By Dominique Mandonnaud. What do I love about Sephora, the in house brand, the colours, scents, neatness and simplicity of the design would make anyone fall in love with it, and it comes in every colour of the rainbow!

Amelie

One of the most magical, whimsical films I have watched, it’s probably my favorite along with Hugo! Set in Montmartre, the scenery is stunning, breathtaking in fact.

Crème Brûlée

Just simply Crème  Brûlée… my little wold wouldn’t be the same without it…mmm

Edith Piaf….La Vie En Rose

The song is one of the most moving I have ever listened to, the minute I heard it at a very young age I was hooked. Edith Piaf; one of the most talented and inspirational artists of all time to me

How very beautiful is Paris at Christmas.....
