Louis Vuitton Paris City Guide

Louis Vuitton City Guides are decadent! 

They are secret little treasure troves of indispensable information. 

I had read about them, researched about the usefulness of their information, and was excited to purchase my first one (on Paris) this past week. One would worry that they are written exclusively for a certain echelon of society (not mine), but in fact they are written for a variety of budgets. They are exceptionally well organized, and I'm sure the information contained within is exceptional, but the added lovely bonus is that the book is very light, and therefore I can actually imagine keeping it within reach in my purse as I explore Paris with my family this summer. Fun!!!

They are available online or at your local Louis Vuitton shop. 

Enjoy!

Bon voyage.

LIFE needs to be fun

Don't you agree?

There are very few more pleasurable experiences than a genuinely good laugh. Because everyone I love looks better wearing a smile, I share the following with you, and I hope they make you smile :))

Even though I have read them many times over, they still make me giggle my ass off!!!

The Sweetest Things

One of my new discoveries is a magazine named "Sweet Paul".

Sweet Paul is an incredibly creative person, and a gorgeous magazine about the good things in life. The styling in it is seriously beyond words outstanding!

One of the added amazing things about this magazine is you can leisurely flip through the entire issue online http://www.sweetpaulmag-digital.com/sweetpaulmag/spring2012#pg1 (and even past issues).

Take a look, and you'll revel in the loveliness!

Enjoy!

Something I have never done before...

Relax, it isn't anything even remotely salacious, but it's still a stretch for me.

I have never before in my life been tempted to recommend a book before I have had the chance to actually finish reading it myself.

This book however compels me to do so because it's incredibly interesting, very well written, smart and even witty (yes, I have genuinely hooted out loud at the pictures the author has painted for me in my mind).

The book is called "Brining up Bebe" by Pamela Druckerman.

I'm not exactly certain of how to describe it without turning too many people away... I will focus on keeping it short and sweet.

It isn't a novel. It is a refreshingly intelligent look at some of the absurdities we have all either experienced or witnessed related to child-rearing, and offers refreshingly unstuffy insight into an alternative path, one practiced deftly by the French (not something some guru has just randomly invented...).

I find this book incredible as it speaks eloquently to me as a mother, a thinking woman and a paediatrician.

Once I'm officially done I'll try to remember to update the post. Until then, buy it, read it, enjoy, and join me in some enlightenment, it's brilliant!

Update: OK, finished it, and truly loved it! I cannot say enough about what an interesting experience it is to consider these aspects of how we live and behave. Merci beaucoup!
