I sent a desperate email to French Girl in Shanghai,
'WHERE R THE COOKIES?'
Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.
The COOKIES were in French Girl's book case (still full) holding up her books.
U R what U read.
It's a book to calm you down.
Oh :O
Fr Girl is a big fan of cookbook author, Sophie Dudemaine.
So is chef Marthe!
Elle Magazine is every French girl's bible no matter her age.
Never ever throw one away!
R U kidding?
French girls in general LURVE these aroma bougies/candles.
Diptyque ('Baies' is Fr Girl's personal flavor).
Diptyque bougies serve many purposes.
Wall decor for one. Along with Repetto bags.
No wonder Fr Girl had a fit when I tried to throw mine out.
When the candle burns down it makes a perfect brush holder. I bet FG has enough of these empties to have a big drinks soiree...
By the way, just in case you think I'm nuts for noticing ladybugs/coccinelle (bringers of happiness) everywhere in Paris, please note FG has one doing happiness duty here.
Everyone things French Girls have so much confidence. That certain ineffable something or other, that je ne sait quoi and a load of other bla bla bla.
Guess what?
French girls read self-help books too.
Who knew?
It's also useful to cut up and add to the decor of your apartment...
French girls do seem very gifted at home decor.
I think the French are more crazy for tea than the British.
I brought FG this artisanal tea tin from Tay Teas
Tea title:'Better Than Sex'
Ha!
Ha!
My London assignment - bring back FG a tin of Fortnum and Mason's Earl Grey Classic. Useful too as book ends.
French Girl has her own book out in fact!
All French Girls admire FAB icon, Ines de la Fressange. They need to know about Parisian Chic just as much as we do :O
Go figure...
