Big News

I told my family and my closest friends..so I feel like now it's official enough to put it on this blog.

Mr. R proposed!!!! We are engaged and will get married in 2010. It's funny, I started this blog almost two years ago, at the end of a long, wrong relationship. I had no idea it would become such a great and fun way to communicating with friends and family around the world.

Well, we are now fiance and fiancee. We are very happy!

Life goes on, with our adventures and travels.. but now we have another, great adventure to look forward to. The planning begins!

Soldes! Sales in Paris

The people went crazy inside the Repetto store!

Fete de La Musique and Brideshead Revisited

On my first full day in Paris I went off to the Marais to enjoy the events linked to the Fete de la Musique.
From jazz to classical music, from techno to acappella the Parisian scene offered a show for all tastes. Of course, along with the music were the musicians and the spectators. For me, a visual person rather than a musical person, spectators and musicians were the most remarkable aspect of the whole thing.

Here, for you, some of the characters I met during my day
this guy reminded me of Sebastian, from Brideshead revisited

Black & white vs. Colors

Walking in around my favorite part of town I spotted these two characters. Both interesting and remarkable.
The man looked strangely elegant, yet odd. Maybe because of the stark contrast of black and white, or maybe because of the sweater that looked a bit too tight.

The woman, on the other had had gracefully paired some really bright colors, going along with the current fashion. She looked at ease and in a good mood, maybe because the colors were giving her positive vibes?

Both man and woman were in their 50s and I found it encouraging that people seem to gain a better sense of style with age.
