1. Now that it's finally warm out, I've begun to wear flats again. I have the typical black ballerinas and even found a cheap pair of animal print ballerinas. But I must share my favorite pair so far...
Remember jellies? Well, they are back in the form of this version: Melissa & Campana
I bought my pair in Japan and was able to try them out for the first time last week. I assumed I would wear them for an hour or so, walk around Paris and then my feet would start to hurt... but they didn't! I'm super excited about these shoes and if you live in a city where you walk a lot but want a lighter walking shoe, these are great. Melissa has a lot of other "jelly" type shoes, which I'm not really a fan of, but these are perfect for the season. A new Melissa store just opened in SoHo as well.
2. I've recently started writing for the Anglo-Paris travel site, Girls Guide to Paris! Here is the link to my first article about the treasure hunt I took at the Louvre. A few of my favorite blogs also wrote really great write ups that can be found here. That's also the link to THATLou (the treasure hunt company). If you find yourself in Paris on a Sunday and want an afternoon running around the Louvre, try a treasure hunt!
3. There have been some exciting updates to The Kale Project - please check them out and support my endeavor! Most importantly, I think I might have found a farmer!
Sir Lancelot finally got back to Paris after almost two weeks away so we're going to enjoy the (rare) nice Paris weather and I think a French bank holiday and Memorial Day are matching up - so it might even mean he has Monday off! But I'm not holding my breath.
Have a great weekend and I wish everyone lovely weather!
Those look too cute to be comfortable. I've been looking for new flats because I wear my black ones everyday.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding a farmer. Should Sir Lancelot be nervous ;)
Thanks! He is SO nervous. It's a bit of a ways off but still every time we travel he comments about it...
DeleteCongratulations to your first article! Very exciting : ) I have been twice to the Louvre - there is just sooo much to see! I think my favorite museum in Paris is the Musee d'orsay - beautiful art work in wonderful building that is totally manageable in a couple of hours. Enjoy your day off together (fingers crossed)!Xx Janie
ReplyDeleteHi Janie! Nice to hear from you :) I love the Orsay and am actually part of their "American Friends." We get to do private tours when the museum is closed!
Deletehaha! i also have one of this jelly flats, but i think mine isn't the original. ^0^
ReplyDeletein all fairness, they seem to be comfortable too. ^-^
congrats on your 'new adventure' to posting.
Thank you!! As long as your jellies are also comfortable, it doesnt matter! x
DeleteI LOVED jellies back in the day!! These "adultified" jellies are so cute! Are they comfy?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your article, and your development in the Kale project! Do you know how many people I've told in NY about your mission? They are all blown away that kale unavailable in Paris!
Thanks Ella! Yes they are comfortable!! Surprisingly so. I love that you're telling people about it and you're right. Most New York folks can't imagine not having kale... until you get here and are faced with the truth! xx
