In 2008, a month before my 38th birthday, this native Californian decided to uproot her life and plant roots in The Pacific Northwest. And my parents came with me! Single, tired of CA, change was needed...so Dolce, the toy poodle and I, packed the Mitsubishi and headed north...these are our adventures. I Blog about my passions: Travel, Fashion, Styling Tips, Movies....and whatever else inspires me.

Paris.....
With summer approaching, what's a gal to do except head to Paris. So, with my french obsession, I packed my suitcase and headed to an apartment in Montmartre. The week was filled with visits to The Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, the Moulin Rouge, the Palace of Versailles, Monet's House & Garden in Giverny, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Opera House, the Madeline Church, and of course, shopping along the Champs-Elysees. As I walked down various streets, admiring the amazing buildings and cafe's, I was reminded of Paris from decades ago. I imaged Audrey Hepburn strolling along the streets, for the many movies she filmed in this gorgeous city. I imaged the writers and artists from so long ago....and I could feel my brain attempting to soak up their talent and inspiration. It is truly a city of inspiration...its a magical place...one that I hope to visit again. Soon. à bientôt.
