Paris

I stole this image from The Sartorialist.  Parisian style has always mesmorized me.  I remember my mother would come home with bags and bags of old english china, french linens, and school us on the importance of spending a little extra on things that are made well.  Investments. 

I bought a Le Creuset teapot the other day and found I did not stray far from my mother's teachings.  Many Parisians have this sort of "magical" touch. They are seemingly effortless, romantic, and kept.  I strive, I strive.
