The good, the bad, and the fabulous ...


Have no idea why I just came up with this title but hey it sounds great , simmered down from yesterday though still feel a bit like we're in some rat race towards that eternally elusive state of having the perfect apartment job and city to live in . On the other hand at least we have each other and, well Paris ... a bit sentimental but so what! Sometimes all the minor /major issues take over and I have to stop myself for a moment to take in the fact that we have this great life in this great city. In other words I got off the RER a stop earlier today, bought a few books and walked over the Ile de la Cite. It was beautiful dusky-golden sunset light over the Ile, water and Seine banks. Made me feel at peace with the world again .
As for the subject of jobs I had another interview this morning for the client relations associate for Dior Couture thing , and another one to go with the Dior lady on Friday . Seems a bit like much ado about nothing to me. Yes I'm excited about possibly returning to the lxury/ fashion field . But no they wouldn't pay me amazingly , and the clients you get in these kinds of job are the worst kind of demanding . But hey I guess let them properly offer it to me first.

Other news is that my bridal party has grown again . Starts to become a bit ridiculously big , but what can I do I love to include all the girls I adore. So I now have not only 5 gorgeous bridesmaids but also 3 flower girls . Its DF's cousin's girls and they are adorable the smallest is 2years old the next 4 and the one after 7. I was originally just considering choosing the middle one as flower girl. She's the spunkiest most lively and adorable little girl and we bonded last time at DF's sisters wedding . But then how could I only choose her and not include her equally sweet sisters so now there are three. I think they will have flower galands on their heads and sashes from the same fabric as the bridesmaids.I'm excited about them being involved and so is their mommy, besides everybody loves flower girls and they make for amazing pictures.

A year older ... a year wiser ... or not


Back to blogging after quite a turbulent week /weekend. Let's see what happened; I turned 26 last Thursday had an interview the same morning, went to see Wim Wenders' Lisbon story in the park (despite the rain) proceeded to meet my favorite couple friends J&J for midnight dinner ( os a moelle&crepe flambee with copious amounts of wine ) got tipsy and to work next day with the worst hangover in a while. Then DF's little sisters (well they're 24 and 16 respectively) arrived for the weekend. And DF surprised me with a trip to Disneyland as part of my Birthday gift , the other part being jewellery( the man is perfect!) So we stayed all day at Disneyand got home at midnight , loved it , the swirly teacups n best sweet popcorn ever !

Sunday the most social day of all,Birthday bruch with a group of friends at the Fumoir then dinner with another group in Chinatown. So today the girls left and I'm completely beat , but on it goes with another early morning interview tmrw.Just hope i can get up for it .

I guess I'll write again this week slightly more detailed or thoughtfully , but for the moment thats it .

At the moment I'm really hoping that the weather clears up tomorrow so me and D. can go to the parc de la Vilette and watch Gilda , I love that movie and seing it on a huge screen while lying on the grass on a balmy night would be sch a perfect summer thing to do. Alas the meteo says it will hail , HAIL! in August ! Am not giving up hope though...

Met the woman from the Agency for the job. Its something to do with Dior , but didn't quite get whether its actually working for Dior or for a company that works for Dior , and if its for Dior why would they not just pay more , well I'll find out tomorrow. A bit less psiched at the prospect of possibly going back into fashion than I though i would be , my love for the industry got destroyed in my last fashion pr job . Just don't feel like dealing with mean people again. Also feel like I had my fill of all the fashion shows I need to be at while working for Fashion File . But I guess it would make my CV more coherent if I went back.And really whats the point of living in Paris if I dont use its opportunities. Uff I'm rambling.

On another note went on bluenile.com and chose the ring designs for the wedding bands. They aren't too fancy , but the super slim diamond eternity would work with my engagement ring and DF will probably go for classic 'manly' wide platinum.But first need to get my earrings sorted out , more on that later...

Back to Paris after a very busy and quite succesfull week back home in Budapest. We signed the contract for our venue and wedding planner have the issues with the priests on track and I had my first fitting for my dress. Oh and DF's dad and little sister visited Budapest and met my mom and stepdad. It went fine except for the fact that unfortunately DF's mom who is my favourite, the vivacious funny one of the family, couldnt be there. And though his dad is perfectly pleasant, he has quite an english placid temper which was hard for me, basically busting my butt showing them around town and not getting any reactions from them is a bit annoying . Oh well at least the fact that the families will be sitting on separate tables is settled!!. Just so much more relaxing and comfortable. We can sit with our friends and they can too and I don't have to watch my mouth all night and can just be myself.

So now its back to business as usual am just collecting the addresses for sending out our Save The Dates and had another call for a job interview, sthing in the luxury industry no less except that it would pay less than I earn now , which is just not happening. And so it goes....
