paris is perfect

allo toute le monde!  i never get tired of this city and the more i come, the more i see the less i know. mb came with a list of recommendations from friends and more than half i’ve never heard of! we’re currently enjoying a hood i haven’t spent much time in, the 7e which is the eiffel tower area. to say we have a killer view is an understatement and the rest of the apartment isn’t too shabby either.

i’m working with my colleague, madelyn who runs an incredible apartment rental service, paris perfect.com. the girls and i are staying at Calvados vacation rental in Paris and visited  some of her other gorgeous apartments including the  St. Amour Paris apartment and a couple others. i can only post a few each day cause any blogger worth her salt knows what goes in to resizing, cropping, editing and posting photos! i’ll be sharing more throughout the week but wanted to post these today.

the apartments are warm and welcoming, as are madelyn (an american) and her husband philippe (he’s french), and have fantastic baths and kitchens, impeccable towels and linens and some of my favorite touches is the artwork. these old watercolor perfume ads send me! can you tell i was obsessed? i wonder if she’d miss them?

if you’re a flea lover you’ve probably seen gloves like these, i love the way madelyn displayed them here.

mad’s got impeccable taste, toile bedspreads, dual color silk curtains, marble fireplaces and original chandeliers.

the place is calling us to have a dinner party but so far we’re all sitting around the table with laptops pretending we’re playing battleship.

of course, who wouldn’t want to cook in this kitchen? it’s calling our name but i have to say we’ve got to get out cause it’s almost 10 and we girls need to eat!

before we head out i thought i’d take you through st. amour, another sweet pied a terre that’s the perfect crash pad with great feng shui and the perfect decor.

if you’re coming to town, these are both great options, each sleeps 4 comfortably. i highly recommend both of them. but wait till you see what we visited today! i’d post them but you know i have way too many photos to edit!

so i’ll leave you with these and head out before everyone kills me for blogging instead of eating! more soon!
