Last night I was honored to have dinner a with true Parisien, Blog, the dog...
For an apero, Blog insists upon drinking only Vranken Pommery Champagne...
Blog ate all of these before we had a chance...ahem
When not busy downing his champagne, Blog is very occupied with his plastic milk bottle... 
Blog insists on being surrounded by the best brocante and exquisite nature morte are everywhere waiting to be painted... 
Pink roses are de rigeur bien sur...
For the poivre (pepper) un petit ange - Blog is very particular about all the petit details...
A table!
The entre was a verrine of mousse chevre chantilly et concumbre.Très Délicieux!
Blog has le bon goût (very good taste)Vin de Bordeaux is a must...
For the very traditional blanquette de veau.Blog is an excellent cook as well as an excellent eater...
Yesterday I spotted these beautiful "calissons roses" de chez Fauchon. - Karmic Destiny!
For dessert Blog prepared a verrine of glace "dragee" from Lenotre with framboises (raspberries) and a raspberry macaron. 
After dinner Blog likes to read Le Monde to catch up on the news - in this case on a Converse "basket" (running shoe)Blog is bien elevee (well brought up). He does not chew on shoes ever.
BONJOUR BLOG et MERCI!!!!

I get emails asking, "WHAT DO I WEAR IN PARIS?"We'll address this serious issue now!
The answer is:
TIGHT JEANS! (very tight painted-on tight)
+ BIG BAGS!
CONVERSE!
The answer is:TIGHT JEANS! (very tight painted-on tight)
+ BIG BAGS!
CONVERSE! Yes it's absolutely true. Chuck Taylor Converse are HOT in Paris!!! Who knew?
The super jeans can be tucked into the "riding" boot as well...
The ballerine will never die as a must have in Paris.
French girl gazing at big bag...
The BIG scarf...
Hair! We have not addressed hair. Bed Head is still and perhaps for always the hair to have - very carefully arranged messy hair. This is NOT Brit unwashed messy hair! Jamais!!
STRIPES!
You can never go wrong wearing stripes in Paris. This woman is impossibly classe!!!
Stripes + big bag + jeans + Fr. scarf
C'est ça
Just a smidge of stripe/à rayé will do it.
Even a hint and you have a home run
Did I mention the "eeeee-Pod"?
Essential! Absolument.
If you wanna find out what French women are wearing for Gawd sakes get on line! And do not shop before you go.
OMG! Why does everyone do this?!
Chic Frenchie on a velo...Velib
Le Trench is forever. Get it out and dust it off.
L'écharpe has already been covered in depth here.
The "Americain" look - too shlumpy. Non non non
More no-nos :(
French women DO NOT WEAR EARRINGS.
An impossibly chic Frenchie crossing the street. All black always works in Paris. I thought only in New York...
Non! absolument non! de trop...
I saw this shabby-chic checked scarf in Burberry and went in to inquire - 700 EUROS Ouch Oh, it's 100% cashmere...omg
Look! An impossibly chic French waitress -
The layered look always works...
The truly impossibly chic French woman we all aspire too...sigh
And do not forget the ESSENTIAL accessory. A Jack Russell.HOT HOT HOT in Paris right now.
This happens to be a celebrity dog, "Hot Dog" belonging to celebrity pastry chef, Sébastien Godard of "Le delicabar".
