everyone knows the french music classics like edith piaf and charles trenet, and hopefully you know some of the 60′s/70′s movement too with jacques dutronc (listen to : et moi et moi et moi) and francoise hardy, but a lot of people either aren’t familiar with current french hits, or with bands that they had no idea were french!
i put together a spotify list of all of my current french favourites! enjoy!!! (don’t miss the hidden scroll bar too! there’s more tracks!)

the new day brings a new year and with the new year brings new resolutions. i feel these are important (as long as you are serious, passionate, realistic enough with them.)
so to share a few resolutions with you (yes “few.” i have quite some many… ) perhaps you’ll find one you would like to incorporate into your own list as well.
01… try to think of each new day as a new year, a new beginning, a fresh start, a chance to better yourself and the world around you. it’s an opportunity for change and being hopeful for what is to come.
02… write every single day, whether it be a journal, blog, letter or e-mail to a friend, or work on my novel.
03… read more. i’m not going to be overly achieving here, but perhaps a few novels that i’ve always wanted to read, much like last years “film bucket list” (which i might add was on last years resolutions list and completed.)
04… do extensive research about tea and flowers.
05… learn, practice, and speak french more on a daily basis! (it’s hard when your french boyfriend insists on speaking english all of the time!!!!)
06… learn to budget and also recognize and respect the difference between a want or need (this was on last year’s list and sadly not succeeded.)
07… set aside time for myself each morning and let that be “my time” of the day. no boyfriend, no kids to nanny, no obligations. just my tea, my breakfast, the morning light, and myself.
and with those being said, the sun is out and i leave you to explore a nearby park while holding hands with a frenchie. happy 2013 indeed everyone!!!!
also, don’t forget that i’m on instagram if you enjoy some of these photos!

in two weeks time i’ll be jetsetting my way to paris! oh how i wish to do it in style… though it’ll be more like a messy bun with no make-up and bags i can’t seem to carry. i love how classy and retro these images feel.
the other day i traveled to atlanta for my visa while the embassy was conveniently located right next to the mall. boy, was that trouble! i have to say that i did find some fabulous finds however!!!! only three days left of work and then it’s time to pack! i’m going to attempt to get some blogs in here the next few days.
je t’aime!

Breakfast from Paris! ...

a gatsby-esque lifestyle,
oscar wilde state-of-mind,
and romantic sensibility.
