I have been in Paris now for two weeks, so I am overdue for a post, non? This has been a great time of catching up with friends, and meeting all the people I had connected with, and not met. It is crazy that I have been away from Paris for an entire year, but such is the course of life and adventure. The people I have been meeting for coffee are some of the coolest people I know. They are passionate about the creative process, and are all brewing exciting projects. (Perhaps i can convince them to share their stories with you.) It is becoming my life's work- to sit and hear the stories of dear friends, as they work, and live and create- I listen and chat and learn.
The great thing (or one of them) about being back in Paris, is that it feels so natural to me. It feels comfortable. Stepping back onto French ground makes me feel that I can get back to the routine of normal life. I am at a space in my life where I feel the most confidence and peace I have ever felt... and though I don't feel confident in my use of the French language... this city gives me confidence, and so much joy.
I will be featuring collaborations with various designers and photographers in the coming months, as well as a few mini-adventures along the way. In the meantime, follow along on Instagram, as that is where I will be posting daily (and that is where I first posted all of these images). This is my attempt to bring you along on my adventure... to introduce you to all of my favorite places and people.
