The next time I'm in Paris I plan on paying a visit to Parasolerie Heurtault, specializing in handmade, haute couture parasols and umbrellas. I'm not sure I will walk away with one (haute couture=haute dollars), but just seeing them will be an experience! I think I'd be wishing for rain if I had one of these beauties.
Wishing you a relaxing and fun-filled Fourth of July weekend!

Man Shops Globe further feeds my addiction for all things Anthropologie. (It doesn't help that I'm a few miles away from the original retail store and the Urban Outfitters headquarters.) The second season premiere was last night and I was waiting with baited breath. It whisks you away into Keith Johnson's world as the buyer-at-large for Anthropologie-traveling the globe in search of unique antiques and treasures which will translate into the brand's aesthetic. Hopefully you get the Sundance Channel and can watch it along with me (click on the pic for more details). I'm thinking they also need a "Woman Shops Globe." Hmmm….

After coveting the gorgeous handmade flowers byEmersonmade for some time now, I finally have one to call my own! Their attention to detail is quite amazing…from the petals to the packaging. Just as exciting is the debut of their clothing line in August…I am on the waiting list for the yummy organic linen skirt with pockets. All skirts should have pockets, don’t you think?!
Why not take a weekend trip to Savannah? It’s a magical place…dripping with history, mystery, and intrigue. I find it to be quite sexy!
Here are a few of my recommendations when visiting…just enough for a weekend…
1. The Paris Market-gorgeous & inspirational shop. I dare you to leave without something.
2. The Paris Market. I’m that serious about it. ;)
3. Savannah Bee Company-they have a “honey bar” for tasting. Need I say more?! Warning-you may be a tad hyper-do not attempt in the evening.
4. Papillote-delicious French fare on the go!
5. Elizabeth on 37th. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Intimate & romantic!
6. Also on my list for dining…Alligator Soul.
7. After dinner, getJazz’d!
8. Wormsloe historic site (shown above)-it is truly breathtaking.
