 Every single time I put on my red suede Repetto ballerinas it pours cats and dogs!

Eclair-A-Day Diet

Deux eclair, watercolor, 9 x 11

Steph wrote me this morning and inspired today's post,

"chocolate eclair over cake ANY day...in fact, I did so much walking in Paris a couple years ago, I made it a point to eat an eclair a day - I would walk it off anyway.

An eclair-a-day regime

Does it get any better?

True you will have to walk if off in Paris. Also true you will have to hit all the best patisseries for this diet to be effective, starting here with Sadaharu Aoki and his matcha tea eclair.

Next stop - an eclair pistache - I must try this.

La Maison du Chocolat has this artfully designed eclair.

The once delightful patisserie La Bonniere de Buci had giant 12" eclairs for 4-5 people on le regime.

Gerard Mulot offers two flavors at his 6th arr. not-to-be-missed neighborhood patisserie. Only one-a-day PBers!

If eclairs are an anathema to you, why not substitute Angelina's macalons'.
Two equal one eclair.

You could just hangout at Eclair Central. i.e. Fauchon.

It doesn't have to be an 'Eclair Weekend' but it wouldn't hurt.

For the eclair-obsessed, this is the place for you.

The most inventive eclairs on the planet are at Fauchon, so if you want some variety in your eclair regime Fauchon is the place to go.

The pictures tell the story.

Better than I can.

Get online PBers and order that eclair.

Part of the deal - wear your eclair-ballerinas.I haven't figured out yet if you're allowed to eat anything else besides eclairs on this diet. I'm working on it. As soon as I get packed and on the plane and and and

BONJOUR ONE-ECLAIR-A-DAY!

 Talk of growing up in France leading the good life has made me decide to be reborn in Paris.

 Then I could growup to wear these ballerinas...

Start out wearing this little red cardi...

And grow up to wear red nails and red pull...

Bebe chausettes rouge...

Miam...

Lounge in a red pousette for starters...

And relax on on a red canope/sofa later...

Learn to write French script on a mini ardoise...

And write notes to myself in a chic cahier/notebook later...

Cupcakes are ageless...

Still I wouldn't mind growing up to appreciate a charlotte framboises..

Little red riding hood ring (seen on rue Cler) also ageless...

Bonne reve et bonne Saint-Valentin Jour!
