old school

Aren't these travel posters gorgeous?!
I kind of want all of them.

They're by The Heads of State. It sounds like they will be expanding the store, but for now they feature: Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York City, Washington D.C. and Miami. It kind of makes me sad that out of all those great cities I've only spent a significant amount of time in one (SF), drove through another (Seattle) and had a couple layovers in a third (Phoenix).

ooh la la!

i've written about paris a couple times. and how much i desire to go back and maybe do things differently. but thanks to one new blog, i might not have to even leave my zip code to take part in the french way of life.

YSL has launched a new fragrance called "Parisienne". In a creative marketing strategy, they hired 5 established bloggers to travel to 5 different U.S. cities and write a travel diary entitled "Experience PARISIENNE". The goal is to seek out little bits of Paris in places like Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and San Francisco. Whether it be restaurants, boutiques or well-dressed people, each lady presents unique insight and a keen eye for what it means to live like the french. (coolest job assignment EVER! so jealous!)

*This post, written by the lovely miss joanna goddard is about trying a french cheese that is served best with champagne. How incredibly elegant, and so french! must try.

I'm super excited to check out some fabulous french neighborhoods and eateries in Los Angeles, and add sites from the other locations to my travel wish list.
