Did She Fall Down the Rabbit Hole in These?

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of my favorite books and Printemps has Alice in Wonderland themed windows right now. Look at these shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood!

Chocolat

Yesterday my valentine and I wanted to eat some chocolate. Duh! We decided to go on a sort of walking chocolate tour because why eat a pre-assorted box of chocolate from one chocolatier when you can personally design one super-box from any chocolatier in Paris? We stopped at Maison du Chocolat, which was definitely my favorite, Jeff de Bruges, Marquise de Sévigné, and Lenôtre. I liked this dark chocolate and blackcurrants truffle from Maison du Chocolat best, but then again, I have a thing for blackcurrants. Delicious journey. Good idea.

Real women are made out of chocolate.

Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day!

Tomato Tomahto

I made tomato farci tonight. It's commonly made in the South of France... I think? Anyways, it's really easy to make and quite delicious. The tomatoes' little hats are cute!

Skulls Forever

I recently visited the James Ensor exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay. I love Ensor's work and point of view especially in relation to the grotesque and the carnivalesque. I love these:

James Ensor, Masks and Death, 1897

James Ensor, Pride, 1904

I also acquired this necklace a few days ago. I like that it's a full skeleton. I like even more that it's donning a crown!
