Valentine’s Day has never been a favorite holiday of mine (besides the chocolate of course)- even the years when I was coupled up, it just felt like too much. Too much pressure, too much money, too much hype. Because the truth is, the greatest loves of my life have most often been my friends. If I’m going to celebrate anything today, it feels like a much better use of the day to spend time celebrating them- and if it’s their birthday, all the more reason. Happy Valentine’s Day to all the soulmates out there, romantic and otherwise 💕 #glitteringparis #valentinesday #soulmate

When the weather’s as unpredictable as it’s been in Paris the last couple days- so much wind! so much rain!- at least we have the covered passages to duck into and discover while we wait out the rain ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Avec un temps si imprévisible ces derniers, au moins il y a les passages couverts pour nous couvrir et nous faire découvrir les faces cachées de la ville ✨

It’s FriYAY! What are your plans for the weekend? Mine don’t involve eating here sadly ✨ @restaurantletrainbleu has one of the most gorgeous interiors in the city. Don’t forget to reserve your places for dinner on February 27th with the incredible @georges_blanc_officiel !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vendredi tout est permis ! Quoi de prévu ce week-end ? Malheureusement aller au @restaurantletrainbleu ne fait pas partie de mes plans - n’est-il pas magnifique ? ✨

Posting this adorable corner before it becomes a veritable Insta-spot 🌸 I mean, with flower walls it’s inevitable right? I’ve geotagged the location and tagging them here @hoteljeannedarc, happy gramming 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Je voulais poster ce joli coin avant que tout le monde le découvre et commence à le poster 🌸 avec les murs fleuris c’est inévitable non ?

Whether it’s the type of Tuesday that necessitates a coffee or a cocktail, you’ll find both in this charming spot @lafontainedebelleville ✨

The best weekends involve friends, strolls, photos, coffee, and lots of sleep- so I guess I can say this one was 💯 how about you guys?

Part of the #nonewphotos gang these days since starting work on some new projects 😅 it’s been a hectic last few days (this weekend will be well-deserved) but honestly I’ve been enjoying nearly every minute of it. It’s so rare to get to work with teams that not only work well together but get along as people, and this one has given me such a warm welcome. It’s been awhile since I felt so much optimism about the future, and after two rather difficult years it feels good to be in a good place ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pas de nouvelles photos par ici depuis le début des nouveaux projets 😅 ces derniers jours ont été chargés mais j’ai profité de chaque minute. C’est tellement rare de trouver une équipe qui travaille et s’entend aussi bien ensemble, et qui te donne un accueil aussi chaleureux. Ça fait un moment depuis que je me suis sentie si optimiste pour l’avenir, et après deux années plutôt difficiles ça fait tellement du bien ✨
