Paris is blooming

ph/me

So I am clearly not a professional photographer, but I have been taking pictures for the last30 months - as a result of starting my blog - and I have grown attached to my Canon. This doesn't make me an expert but it as definitely given me a glimpse into photography. Learning how to manupulate a camera, finding the camera that best suits you, looking for the perfect lens and using tools such as Lightroom and photoshop are just one of the things my blog has taught me. Probably things I would have never learnt to do if it were not for my blog. Anyway, here are some shots from Paris, I especially went crazy with the pink blossom which I found gorgeous and reminded me of home strangely.

Le dépanneur Fricote

April 7, 2012

As per tradition we spent an afternoon walking around (and getting lost) in Le Maris. I love this neighborhood, especially during the week when it's quieter, as it is always changing and moving. There are always new shops popping up left and right, new restaurants to try out and new bars to discover. We stumbled upon Le Dépanneur Fricote which is a fleeting shop that sells all things made in the US - from marshmallow fluff to fuit loops, from Opinels to barbecue sauce, from Betty Crocker chap sticks to Mac & cheese ... However, it is only open until the 23 April so if you are in Paris go and check them out and stock up on all things american. If not you can always check out Yumise. They sell all of this stuff online, however they only ship to France at the moment, hopefully this will change some time soon. Thanks to the guys in the shop for sharing the website with us - a delicious find.

It's so nice to be back in Paris and strangely now that I don't live here I am taking pictures of everything. Which I guess is a good thing for you guys :) I can't wait for Saturday when I will be meeting up with friends from uni, fellow bloggers and friends from paris.

Happy Easter!

and the result...

ph/ Pierre de Greef

You might (or probably won't) remember a while back I was very kindly invited by Stephan to come and have my hair done. To be honest I very rarely go to the hair dressers because I never get what I actually had in mind or I just end up paying a ridiculous amount of money to have my ends snipped off, something i can do myseld with my kitchen scissors. This being said, I am certain that in the right hands and with the right expects one's high expectations can be fulfilled. I just never got around to it. So, of course I leaped at this opportunity. The change in the end was not radical but it does mean that I can just as easily have my hair parted to one side or straight down the middle. The experience was great, Stephan and his staff were amazing and extremely friendly (even though I look mad in a lot of the pictures, pay no notice) and their 'Salon' is at the heart of Brussels and easy to find. So if like me, you are looking for a great hair dressers in Brussels, why not give them a try. Thank you again for the lovely experience!
