April in Paris 🌸 Letter

Back on April 8 I said, I was trying hard to get your April Paris letters done ✏️ and to la poste 📮

Early work-in-progress sketches… 🤸🏾‍♀️

What Bag to Wear in Paris

 American celebrities like to carry whatever Parisian IT $$$$$ bag is IN.

According to Vogue, ‘There’s a certain cool girl look’ Parisians have down pat. From perfect Breton stripe shirt to classic cigarette pants, Fr girls claim some of the chicest staples in a working wardrobe. 

La Pâtisserie Viennoise, Diptyque, tasse à café

It may be Spring but hot chocolate/chocolat chaud ☕️ is always a good idea in Paris 

La Pâtisserie Viennoise is tucked away on a side street is easy to miss - 8 rue l'école de médecine 75006 Bus 86, 63 go right by it.

City-Pharma, Cafe Deux Magots letter

Some wise travelers know Paris is a Mecca for makeup and City-Pharma is their bargain land Holy Grail. At 26, rue du Four 75004

I met up with two clever ducks Cheryl & Debbie on Tuesday because they'd ordered the 6-pack of Paris Letters and wanted to pick them up while in Paris (instant gratification).

The Paris Walk

Drawing by Rick Tulka

I mentioned Rick Tulka's Walking Man previouslyI've been seeing "walking Parisiens".

Mother’s Day, Giverny, Impressionnistes

I’m going to the Orsay, Paris au temps des Impressionnistes exhibit today.

A visit to Giverny to amuse you till the Orsay report is ready

I went to buy stamps, En Jeu! Musée Marmottan Monet

 

Samedi/Saturday was gorgeous. Guess - tourists or Parisiennes?

No way could you stay inside.

La Naissance des Grands Magasins 1852-1925, Le musée des Arts décoratifs

 

Yesterday was the 1st day of the big department store show at MAD and I was there when the doors opened.

Are you a devoted department store browser (different from a shopper)

I’m trying hard to get your April Paris letter done ✏️

PAD Paris 2024 Tuileries

 

Yesterday I went to PAD Paris vernissage held in a long tent in Tuileries. The art show is on thru Sunday April 7. Run 🏃‍♀️ don’t walk. Fun!

Dogs are allowed I think…I saw 2 🐶 Breed vague.

Parisians & their chiens, The Real Emily in Paris

Today’s post was supposed to be on Art Paris vernissage at Grand Palais Ephemeral yesterday (on from April 4 - 7). The cutout Bichon Frisé is by Tursic & Mille. Woman with purse pets by Yunzo Paek.

But I couldn’t resist showing you Paris chiens/dogs from this week. Seen at the new Pompidou BRANCUSI Retrospective. Evidently Bichons Frisé are IN.
