Petal Power Bag
Oh là là! We couldn’t love this Petal Power bag by Gigi Mortimer and Courtney Moss, the ever-chic Glamourpuss NYC girls, more. Inspired by the vintage flowered swim caps à l’ancienne, this adorable throwback to 1950s style comes in the perfect colors for spring and summer, and it’s the perfect size to hold your essentials: phone, money, keys, lipstick, and you’re ready to hit the Champs Elysées. As les Parisiennes will tell you, there is no better way to add a fun pop of color to an outfit than with accessories. Parisian style is all about self-expression, and we can’t think of a better way to say, “Bonjour!” than with this iconic classic. Glamourpuss NYC’s designs were most recently featured in the May 2012 issue of Lucky and the April 2012 issue of Town & Country.

New York in French
French kissing: la langue française. By Julia Frey. Les Français adorent s’amuser des gaffes que font d’ignorants Américains (et surtout Américaines), venus dans leur pays pour apprendre le français. Ils se moquent sans hésiter de celle qui s’annonce “excitée” par ses premières expériences de la langue, ou “pleine” à la fin d’un repas.

I hit Paris bistro saturation last weekend, and found myself in need of some new flavors and a new environment, so I ventured out to Belleville for a taste of their little Chinatown.
Chinese immigrants settled in the Belleville area in the 1920s, and you’ll see their influence up and down rue de Belleville, mixed in with African, Jewish, Greek and Armenian cultures. One of many good spots for ethnic food in the neighborhood, Le Pacifique has been around since 1983 and is still going strong, with good reason.

It's hard not to love Paris, but it takes time to feel comfortable. The sense of cultural collision may be strong and jet lag or fatigue makes things worse. So, here are 10 ways to raise your comfort level. When you plan a Paris trip, add these to your basic tips.
1. Take things slowly. Although rushing around is Parisian, rushing one's pleasures is not. A beautiful moment, a drink, a view; all are best when thoroughly savored. Slow yourself down by finishing every meal with a coffee. No big milky cup—just a proper Parisian café.

My stepmother recently e-mailed me, needing to know about French tea for a class she’s teaching. While I don’t claim to be an expert on every topic that starts with the word French, some people seem to think I am. So I did a little research.
From my own experiences at tea salons in Paris, tea is quite popular now, as are French tea salons. But it’s not the high tea that we know in the English tradition, with scones and tea sandwiches. Rather, it’s an experience that can be had in the off-hours [...]

I remember experiencing extreme joy and sadness last year after eating an exquisite meal at the home of US culinary power couple Braden and Laura, when they hosted their final installment of their supper club, Hidden Kitchen. The pair has since returned to hanging laundry in their dining room and entertaining just for family and intimate friends, but if you’re not related to them, you’re still in luck—Braden and Laura have opened their first Paris restaurant, Verjus.

French Wines: The Pinot Noir Experience
Lovers of French wines often have a special place in their hearts for pinot noir. Some even consider the pursuit of the ultimate pinot to be the wine equivalent of the pursuit of the holy grail. Why do the true believers obsess about this particular grape? At its best, pinot noir creates elegant wines with breathtaking red fruit aromas that evolve over time to more complex earth, smoke, violet, truffle and game, causing many to feel it is in a league of its own. But the fundamental truth of pinot is that it is profoundly sensitive, and that quality is both its gift and its curse.

The traditional French quiche is a rustic dish, eaten year-round in most regions of France. It’s a particular favorite in French bistros across Paris, where a generous wedge is accompanied by a green salad and a glass of red wine, and almost every local bakery will have several types available as part of the typical lunch offerings. But there is something so comforting about making this buttery, crumbly delight at home, piping hot and fresh from the oven, whether it’s for brunch on the terrace with the family or for last-minute dinner guests.
There are as many ways to put a quiche together as there are months in the year. It can be made with or without a crust. It can fill a large dish or be prepared in individual servings. It can be flat and creamy, or made mountainously airy with beaten egg whites. Every single one of these variations and more can be found in bistros and bakeries across Paris.
