Speaking of work, if you haven't heard from me lately regarding your Paris portrait, please email me (Kathy-Joyce? Clarene?) I'm playing catch up here.

SPRING! is really here in Paris fullblown...
The cafes are loaded...
Some cafes are racing to catch up fast!
French Girl says a big sign of Spring - all the striped mariniers shirts seen everywhere...
Even on running Patugas shoes/baskets!
Bear is conveniently dressed in Spring stripes year round...
The bikers are out. Bike/Velib stations are completely empty.
Bear imagines he's Easy Rider on someone else's bike parked on rue de Rivoli... 
French shoppers are out, shopping like crazy...
Spring asperges with Peter's Paris at Casa Olympe is de rigueuer at 48 Rue Saint-Georges, 75009...tres deliceux
We stroll around the 9th - a perfect Spring day. Peter knows Paris like the back of his hand. He shows me a hidden, private allee, where Renoir used to live...
I show him L'Etoil D'or, 30 rue Fontaine - the best candy store in all world.
Peter is so thrilled he buys up the place!
Spring chocolate fish and chickens abound...
Denise Acabo, the propriator, could not be more delighted...
Or delightful. Denise is the cutest confisiere in all of Paris. She is a Paris' incontournables/monument to fine French regional chocolates.
Bear is leaving Paris this afternoon.He's going to miss all the FAB monuments...
He insists on one last stupid tourist shot at the Concorde Metro station, but none of these letters spell out B E A R.

Have you noticed the Frenchie trend for scarves year-round has spread to this side of the ze pond? Worn on the head seems a good compromise...
Or with this straw hat - beaucoup de style!
With a tiny print summer dress....
Knotted at agnès b.
As a touch of color. The raggy look is big.
Et pour les gosses aussi/and for the kids too.
En lieu de...the cardigan instead of a scarf?
A scarfy solution for the waist...
And in the mouth bien sur!BONJOUR SUMMER!

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".
