Natalie’s post is living rent free in my head and I feel antsy to do *something* about it. It made me want to throw all my clothes out in the best way. I’m loving you in all this linen!! Are we just embracing the wrinkles?!

That sunset photo took my breath away! You're truly living the dream! And, yes, to wearing your "nice" clothes on regular days. I try to wear my black trousers even if I'm just working from home, pairing it with a casual sweatshirt or tank! Loved this, as always! x

One of my favorite sunsets I've experienced in Paris. I love that and I haven't paired it with just a tank yet, so I'm going to try that next :)

I would be in serious trouble with all the pastries and frites there! Check out Finds By Ginny (can’t tag her for some reason) but she always does great bode inspired vintage bag edits!

The absolute joy I get from living my best fruit and matcha life through your Substack and Instagram (for everyone in the comments, Ofelia's Instagram stories are the best). And of course your style. Loved this post.

I love all of this but especially the toaster (?!) — that color aqua they do is so sweet. Do you have a favorite book that takes place in Paris?

Yes, it is!! We actually saw an olivey-green one in store, but all our kitchen cabinets are a blue green color and it felt like it was too much color. So we decided on the egg shell color.

I actually recently started reading Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter and I'm enjoy it so far. It's an autobiography of Simone de Beauvoir who recounts growing up in a French bourgeois family. I have a few others on my list. Do you have one you've read?!

If you're looking for a baking book I have, I own Gâteau by Aleksandra Crapanzano and really love baking from it. It's actually one of the few cookbooks we packed with us when we moved.

Bonjour Ofelia ;) Love so much in this post but the part about 10 pm sunsets at the end had me sighing out loud...

It's been a real treat to experience!! I know it's going to make "Summer Fridays" feel so different and I'm all here for it :)
