So magical! I love your eye and capturing all the sweet little moments that can often go unnoticed. The rain jackets for shopping bags 😭and I love how pretty the bags are too. Hope you had the best holiday season!
Thank you, Angie !! That's incredibly kind of you ❤️ I know, right?! I thought they were so cute. I hope you did too and wishing you a happy new year !!
I want to be in Paris for Christmas. I think next year we are heading to Spain for 2 weeks over the holidays but we also want to stop somewhere else. Should it be Paris!?
Haha yes, my husband suggested a walk along the Seine on a particularly cold day and I had to dissuade him on another route. That breeze is no joke! The raclette sandwiches do help though.
An absolute dream, Ofelia! I love your Christmas ornaments. I also love the way you snap the best IRL photos: the fur, the sandwich! (Omg, get me to France, now!) - love that you got to meet up with Angela! So grateful to have connected here with you on the Stack! Xx
Thank you, Traci !! Get on the next flight out please :) I also feel so grateful to have meet you this year. I love reading your newsletter (though, I'm always fashionably late) and seeing the outfits you put together, the recipes you share and other tidbits that make it so special. I hope you have a lovely new year !!
I loved this so much Ofelia! Your beautiful photography (especially the photo of your husband carrying your Christmas tree), the Christmas markets, and the decorations. And the pastries - the bûche de Noël and Jimmy Chocos look incredible. How special that you got to spend time with Angela, too. I hope you had the most wonderful holiday. I've loved following along this year and have been endlessly inspired by you here and on IG. Wishing you the best start to your new year and I can't wait to see what 2026 brings for you ❤️❤️❤️
Tina !! Thank you so much. Angela and I were chatting about your sweet soul on our walk. You're such a gem and I hope the next year is beyond your wildest dreams. I've enjoyed reading Semi-Sustainable and a lot of my second hand shopping inspiration has come from you ❤️❤️
Ofelia! The picture of Michael carrying your tree should be printed/framed and brought out every year for the holiday. So dreamy. This was a “living vicariously through my friend” post!!
🥹 I was thinking I should turn it into a ornament for next year !! But I also really want to create books of my photography and this is a great reminder to do so.
Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you! You’ve really captured the beauty of Paris in Christmas. It is one of my favourite times to visit. Happy happy holidays!
These visuals look like scenes from a movie! The trees, holiday decorations, delicious spreads and treats - I love how you've captured the magic of the season in Paris. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday, Ofelia!
Everything about this made me want to spend next Christmas in Europe. Gorgeous!

You are a dream!!!

Everything about this is so dreamy! The city, the family time… that Racette sandwich😩
I fear I'm becoming my husband because I'm starting to think I haven't had enough of them this season !!

I'm so biased, but Paris is always a good idea :)
Sooo pretty and special 😍

God I love a winter in Paris. Well, I love looking at it - that river breeze is brutal! And raclette sandwiches, oh my!

The breeze is so cold it makes my eyes run! Xx
This was, as you put it, magical 🥰🥰 makes me want to come visit over Christmas sometime
Thank you, Usha! If it's ever in the cards, I highly recommend :) I hope you had a lovely holiday !!
