Its finally proper summertime in Paris and I'm still in that honeymoon phase where I'm welcoming the heat after that horrid dismal spring ,even though we are just a few days away from roasting in our 7th floor South facing apartment that has sun literally all day.
Quite chipper all in all though hubby and me back to a more manageable schedule, where we even get to see each other, but he still gives me the occasional night off so that I can meet friends for wifely support cocktails ( fantastic totally affordable cocktails at Experimental Cocktail Club and Curio Parlour) and watch The Age of Innocence without his sighs of boredom.
Other reasons for being chipper is this blog which is just adorable : http://mrslilien.squarespace.com/ and Parisian women finally got out their color and seeing their summer style is quite uplifting after the same old black all winter.
aaaaand our magnificently planned trip to London next week. (sorry this is going to be boastful) highlights include: Afternoon Tea at Claridges, lunch at Alain Ducasse Restaurant at the Dorchester ( 3 michelin stars , yeay), goin to dean street townhouse with hubby plus two of our lovely handsome friends, then museums, Anthropologie, the hummingbird bakery and of course the raison d'etre for the whole trip my sister in laws becoming a DR. graduation ceremony! ( so nice to have a DR. in the family ) Whew it will be another whirlwind London trip but this ime at least we get to 'profite' as the French say...
Yes that pic is of a plastic cup with champagne and a strawberry in front of the Seine.
