Waltzing around Concorde

Look, that maman is scolding her petite fille in the Tuileries gardens. Last Friday I went to Madeleine
for a new sim card. Then I walked over to Concorde for a browse. Its still feels like taking a trip witho
ut packing.

I popped into Angelina. They usually have good 💌 paper envelope stuffers. But Paris is paper-free these days. Can you catch Covid from a business or perfume card? :( 

A tray of stacked chocolate cups drew my eye.  I’ll come back when its chilly (its 80s-90s degrees). 

                                Checks are IN for Fall

                            More checks and shorts...

 Laduree's latest macaron boxes are by Tokiodoki 

      By Sergio Legno, an illustrator obsessed with kawaii.
             Inside their perfect pastries. I resisted.

I didn’t resist 
Mado de Paris. New to 252, rue de Rivoli since January. I stopped in for an iced citronade, lemon ice cream and a lemon zest madeleine. Toute Lemon 🍋 

Beautiful lemon tea tins. Perfectly iced madeleines.

A classic French couple flirting in a cafe. What’s not to love about Concorde? Reliably beautiful in any light. I’m off to see the 
Sarah Moon exhibit at MAM. Then swim 🏊‍♀️ Then see Le Salon International du Livre Rare at Grand Palais. Then work ✏️ on the September Paris letter
                 Pray🙏 for the West Coast ❤️ 🐻

  8. It looks divine, every bit. Here up north it's a brisk 50 in the day and in the 30s at night. I want that sun, that outdoor cafe, those glorious madeleines! Oh, I miss it so! Thanks for taking me there. Glorious!
