the prettiest day ever and other notable notables...

this is my mini quiche lorraine. i just wanted to take a pic of it bc ya just don't carry around quiche in the states... it was DELISH and i ate it while i was waiting for the train! :)

this is just a cute little courtyard i always pass. i just love the gate, all the greenery, and the stone walkway. how charming!

i applied to the certificate program at parsons paris. cross your fingers for me!!!

this is the door to the building, just as it looked when they showed it on project runway! lol. 

i couldn't get up the courage to ask someone to take my pic in front of the door.

maybe if i get accepted...

i think this was from wednesday. i met moo for a late lunch, which kinda turned in to dinner too! we were sitting there a looong time! lol. then linda and madona joined us later. this is moo enjoying her sorbet. i had a delicious salad and chocolate cake!!! mmmm... so good.

it was kind of ugly that day. grey all day and rainy! bah!

i passed by this furniture store and it was pretty much all of the most amazing things i have seen. and when i say amazing, i mean ridiculous!

do you see the chandelier??? it is MARABOU!!! 

i actually like the turquoise couch a lot. the colors were pretty, but it was sooo much all together! but man! that chandelier... lol.

this is a cool pic bc you can see the reflection of the building across the street which looks classically french with the ultra-modern chandelier in the store. it was really huge and amazing too. that store was so fun, but i'm sure you'd have to promise your first born.

 it looked so expensive!

last night (thursday) i went with elia to bonheur des dames. it was a cute club and i got to DANCE!!! FINALLY!!! i missed dancing!!! we went with elia's sister and michel, her friend. 

it was such a good time!

this is me striking a pose on the dance floor!

ahh, today... today was a GORGEOUS fall day in paris. i woke up late (i did party hard last night...) and met mylene for brunch. i ordered a very traditional french breakfast of hot chocolate, breads and spreads, plain yogurt and oeuf a la coque with mouillettes (little strips of bread that you dip in the yolk of a soft-boiled egg!). 

me eating my mouillettes. delish! it was so warm and gorgeous. we sat there for forever!

then we walked up rue moufftard in search of a hat for moo.

HUGE CRABS!!! there are stores all along moufftard.

so, we didn't get a hat, but we did find moo's dream coat. it was perfect for her style. 

i could not have designed it better myself!

moo was getting a little emotional trying it on, so we knew she had to have it.

then we went a were lazy at her apt. moo had an appt to go to, so i got a ride on SCOOTERPOO! my fave! it was all part of my awesome day! then i walked back towards home. on the way i walked through the jardin des plantes (as seen in previous post in august). it was as beautiful the second time as it was the first. it was soooo sunny and gorgeous! i think i appreciated the day even more since it's been rainy and grey this week. i need SUUUUUNNN!!!

i was silly and forgot to check what these flowers were called, but i LOVE them.

LOVE.

i didn't check these either... oops. these ones are super-awesome though bc they are so sculptural and perfect! the color is great too.

me under the big tree. i am happy for such a gorgeous day. :)

this is the greenhouse. i caught the light through the window at just the right moment.

so cool.

after that, i walked home and bought myself a ridiculous pastry. i will miss the pastries... i don't have them too often (i still fit in my pants!) but every once in a while, they are heaven.

so that was my awesome day. paris was a lady in her wedding dress today, 

never looked prettier. it was like a dream. 

in the grey winter days to come, i'll think of today and hope for spring.
