A look into the World of Julien Fournié

I have attended a few Julien Fournié Haute Couture shows, and am always impressed with the designer and the way he creates wearable feminine, yet edgy clothing.

The Best of Paris – The Marais

After living in France for over 4 years now, I like to think I have a little bit of Paris figured out. I know some of the areas pretty well from living in the neighborhood, and others I love to visit and take in the sights. I don’t think I am an expert by any means, but I know what areas I like and I know what ones to never venture into.
