Paris Tramps

How could I forget these? Despite being surrounded by the most beautiful architecture, people and art in the world, one of the girls' favorite things to do in Paris is jump on on the public trampolines. Sigh. I sure hope this culture is sinking in...

Ledbury Road

Every morning - for a while, until I realized we were breaking the bank - Coco and I would go to Ottolenghi for a coffee, croissants, pan chocolat and fruit salad to bring home for breakfast. Ottolenghi is one of our favorite things about Ledbury Road.





Right around the corner from us, at Chapstow Mews, Alice Temperly has her studio, showroom and store. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and out. 





Pictures

Things are so busy with work that I have not been able to keep the blog up at all. When I'm not working we're exploring London and heading out of town on weekend getaways. Here are some pictures from recent adventures.

PARIS!

at the Tuleries Gardens on the way to the Louvre


Coco has regressed significantly and rarely lets her feet touch ground when on an outing.

Once we got to the Louvre, Coco kept saying "I want to see Lisa!" "Where's Lisa?!"


My favorite painting in the Louvre.



Sofitel Le Faubourg was home for the weekend. Right near the American Embassy, Hermes and Lanvin...


We took a boat ride down the Seine


enjoyed Notre Dame from the river


Even saw a beautiful bride and groom on the bridge


And lots of weird performers under the Tower Eiffel

on Sunday Haley and I stayed on and spent the day at Les Puces, the famous Parisian flea market. It was amazing.
