Hope you all have a wonderful weekend everybody, here are some links for this weekend. Enjoy!

•   I fell in love with these adorable photographs of a couple eloping to Paris to get married. All I want to do now is to run around town in a gorgeous white gown! Or maybe not…
•   A place that I constantly seem to dream about is New York… My last visit to the big apple was in October 2011 and that’s way too long ago! Until I can return I’m going to dream through other people’s photos, in this case they belong to Carrie.
•   It’s been raining an awful lot here in Paris during the past couple of days, which would be more okay if we weren’t approaching June so soon. Until I’ll see the sun in Paris again I’m just going to keep these tips from Garance close by.
•   These photos by Jamie Beck seems to be from another world at the moment. So colourful, so playful and so much fun to look at!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many hats in one place before…
•   If you haven’t read what happened to Diane during the daytrip to Ajaccio that some of the girls took to while in Corsica I think you should read her post about it. Moments like that just make me smile!
•   The Cannes film festival is always a good “gown moment” and this year was no different. See more photos right here. My favourites were the black Burberry on Cara, Liya in Roberto Cavalli and Carey in Vionnet. Darn it! I wish I would have been a little further south in France during these days.
•   And be sure not to forget about the giveaway that I’m doing right now on the blog! Enter before the 27th of May to get the chance to win the book “Paris, My Sweet” by Amy Thomas. Read more about it here!

I’m guessing I’m not the only person out there who’s hooked on Instagram. I think the reason behind this addiction might be that it’s just based on sharing beautiful images with each other and who could say no to that? I love being able to see what people all the way across the world are up to by just clicking a few buttons.

Today I’m sharing a few of my favourite Instagram accounts with you all! It’s truly an “Instagram-jungle” out there so sometimes a few tips can help. I find new, interesting people and beautiful photos to follow every single day but these are currently the photos I’m drooling over the most:

Moscerina
If Paris has the key to half of my heart, the city that has the key to the other half must be Rome (and New York). Moscerina’s photos make my heart ache and my fingers itch. Every time I see a new photo I immediately feel the need to book a plane ticket right away. The colour, the details, the food!

Kat_in_nyc
Who can resist gorgeous images of New York City at its best? Since I’m not there myself I have to live vicariously through Kat’s gorgeous photos. But with photos like these, I really don’t mind.

GaryPepperGirl
As you probably know by now Nicole is the woman behind one of my favourite blogs. And she’s also the woman behind one of my favourite Instagram accounts. Her photos make it easy for anyone to dream away for a few seconds. Yes, dreamy is the perfect word for her lovely photographs!

AGuyNamedPatrick
If you’re looking for more New York photos Patrick is your guy. Taxi cabs, New York sunsets, Central Park gorgeousness or his own interpretation of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” — you name it, he’s got it!

Linda_Lomelino
I’ve suggested Linda’s blog to you guys before, remember? It’s called “Call Me Cupcake” and it’s probably the most gorgeous (and delicious) food blog out there. Fortunately she also has a very pretty Instagram feed that always makes me hungry…

StefanKarlstrom
Stefan is a fellow Swede, who’s now living in New York. By now I’m guessing that you can tell that I have minor New York addiction on Instagram, right? Anyways, his images of New York always make my jaw drop.

WillSheLoveParis
If you like my Instagram photos I’m pretty sure you’ll fall in love with Grace’s photos as well! Her photos are just gorgeous and they constantly remind me of why I love this city as much as I do. She always captures beautiful moments as well as gorgeous places and lovely dessert so perfectly.

Nicole_Franzen
Nicole is a photographer I’ve been admiring for quite some time, especially when it comes to food photography! Her Instagram does not disappoint. Food, flowers, amazing light and interiors…

JoshChang
Here comes more gorgeous New York images. Josh captures light that I wouldn’t see myself and angles I adore. He photographs everything I love about NYC (shake shack burgers and cherry blossoms included of course).

Ciscolo
One of the Instagram accounts I’ve been following the longest belongs to Ciscolo. Her amazing photos are mostly of her precious dog called Sugarbear. The dog is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and her photos take my breath away; understandably it’s one of my favourite accounts out there.

_FromMeToYou
One of my absolute favourite photographers at the moment, Jamie Beck, also has an Instagram account that I always drool over. It can be her own gorgeous photos, photographs that capture her effortless chic style or photos from her amazing travels… I’m always a fan!

TheTrotterGirl
I love how Eva captures the gorgeous details in her everyday life. I can’t get enough of her latte art photos, or her amazing New York photos for that matter. She has an eye for stunning shots and I always look forward to her images!

ElisabethErin
I think Erin’s photos resemble art more than just photographs taken with a phone camera. How she does it I’ll never know, but the results are remarkable.

Alice_Gao
I notice now that most of my favourite Instagram accounts belongs to some of my favourite photographers out there, but that’s not so weird when it’s an app about photos, right? Well, as I’ve told you before I’m a big fan of Alice Gao and her lovely photography and I love to get the chance to enjoy more of her gorgeous photos through Instagram.

Sonyayu
Last, but certainly not least I have to tell you about Sonyayu’s Instagram account that I stumbled over not too long ago. Her photos could be some of the loveliest photos I’ve ever seen. The way she uses colours, food and flowers — it’s simply too gorgeous for words.

By now you most definitely know that I’m a girl who loves Paris, a lot. As well as my sugary treats. Of course this combination equals immediate love for a book that is devoted to just these two things. Paris, My Sweet by the talented (and very sweet herself) Amy Thomas was one of the first books I bought straight away after making the decision to move back to Paris. It has guided me to some of my favourite sweet spots in this city and I’m forever grateful for the list of bakeries at the end of the book.

And now you have a chance to win it, yay! I’ve been wanting to do a giveaway for quite sometime now but I haven’t come up with the right thing to actually give away until now. Hopefully you’ll be as excited as I am about this! If you want a chance to win this book please follow the steps below.

It feels like I have so much to share with you this weekend. The internet just popped (or perhaps it’s because I was away during last week) with a bunch of interesting and fun posts. I hope you’ll enjoy!

•   If you want more tips about Corsica, like where to stay, what to see and where to eat I suggest having a look at Little Pieces of Light’s post about our amazing trip. Gorgeous photos and everything you need to know in one post!
•   I’m terribly sorry for all the Corsica talk but that place managed to steal my heart. And so did this restaurant. It’s a restaurant that specialises in langoustines. Could it get any better than that? I think not. Diane takes you to Petite Marie, which you’re not allowed to miss if you’re heading to Bastia!
•   Thank you Melissa for featuring me on your “Beautiful Blogger Award” list, I’m very flattered! It’s also a great list if you want to find even more blogs about Paris. You can never get enough of Paris inspiration, right?
•   The HiP Paris blog recently published a post about left bank vs. right bank and it got me thinking… I don’t think I could choose just one! The right bank has the cosy Marais neighbourhood, the beautiful Jardin du Palais Royal, the fantastic shopping on Rue Saint Honoré while the left bank has Saint Germain with all the pretty cafés, Jardin du Luxembourg and the my favourite restaurants in the 7th. I’m torn to say the least!
•   One of my favourite people is Sofia Coppola. I simply adore her personal style, that stunning bag for Louis Vuitton and now her home as well. Thanks to Katie Armour I got a little peek inside.
•   Vanity Presse asked me about my favourite beauty products and you can find my answers right here. Thanks for the feature!
•   While in Corsica I had to wear a bikini to get in that lovely water so I’ve already faced my bikini season fear this year but for those of you who haven’t done that just yet, you should check out Garance’s article about how you do it in the very best way! Just so that you can avoid freaking out, promising to never wear a swimsuit again and running straight to the nearest boulangerie to stuff your face in deliciousness…

Tonight it’s “La Nuit Européenne des Musées” here in Paris which means that a bunch of museums in the city are open in the evening and during the early night. I’m thinking about exploring Musée d’Orsay or see the view of a lit up Paris in the night from Centre Pompidou. Hope you’ll have a wonderful weekend!

Here’s a couple of snapshots from my trip to Corsica. We found an amazing beach, delicious ice cream, a restaurant that served us the best langoustines ever, ate strawberries on the beach overlooking the ocean, wandered the narrow and colourful streets in Bastia and had the most amazing dinner view. For more updates you can follow me on Instagram!

I just came back to Paris after a few absolutely wonderful days spent in Corsica. Even though I’m happy about being back in Paris, I can’t deny the fact that I already want to go back. Corsica was gorgeous and I can’t wait to share my vacation photos with you during the coming days! If anybody’s contemplating on going there I can highly recommend it. But before I share those photos with you, you can enjoy my weekend reading list!

•   The Met gala took place in New York city earlier this week and the theme was punk in honor of this year’s exhibition, Punk: Chaos to Couture. Everybody who’s anybody was of course there, some people went all out with the theme while others kept it classic. Some of my favourites from the night were: Gwyneth, Cameron, Sarah-Jessica and Diane.
•   If you can’t wait to indulge in gorgeous Corsica photos I think you should check out Diane’s posts from our fabulous trip!
•   Another blog I’ve recently stumbled upon is The Fresh Exchange. It’s the perfect combination of gorgeous photography and lovely typography. My favourite part must be when they went to Paris!
•   I know that I’ve been terrible at updating the blog recently, due to both sickness and vacation. If you want to get more frequent updates you can follow me both on Facebook and Instagram.
•   I just came back from my little vacation and I’m already dreaming about both going back and going to other places. These lovely photos, from the blog Sweet Thing, made me want to pack my bags again and drive out to the country side.
•   Can’t get enough of links and weekend reading? Have a look at Meg’s wonderful suggestions right here.

I hope that you all are having a wonderful weekend so far! Here are my tips for some reading/surfing if you want to cosy up in front of the computer during a couple of minutes (or hours — that’s up to you) this weekend. Enjoy!

•   I’ve found a new favourite blog that I can’t keep my eyes off (thanks to my lovely Grace). Christine tells the story about two of my favourite cities on earth; Paris and New York, and her photos make my knees week. So pretty!
•   Speaking of New York… I would like to book a ticket tomorrow just to be able to take a few photos inside the New York Public Library just like Danielle from the blog Pasadya. What a gorgeous space.
•   If you wonder about what I prefer to do during warm spring evenings here in Paris, you should check out Diane’s post right here.
•   As I said last weekend, I’ve never really fallen in love with London as a city but these photos from the blog Hjertesmil (and the ones from last week) makes me want to rethink it all… Perhaps London is something for me? London always looks so gorgeous through her lens!
•   So far I haven’t found that many beauty products I can’t live without here in Paris but Garance has, so let’s take a look at her list instead!
•   A list that always excites me is The Worlds’ 50 Best Restaurants! I looove scrolling through the list to find restaurants I’m dreaming about visiting, places I’ve already eaten at and restaurants that I don’t understand how they made it up there among the others… On this years’ top 50 list I can at least check off five restaurants I’ve already eaten at. Only 45 more to go, haha!
•   Last weekend I also told you that I love little “behind the scenes” peeks and this post by Jamie Beck did not disappoint. Just imagine getting the chance to be a part of a team like that!

I think you easily can say that flowers have dominated my Instagram during the last couple of days… I might have a minor obsession. You can find me under the username “ParisInFourMonths“.

•   I don’t consider myself to be photogenic at all and that’s why Garance’s tips will be put to use from now on!
•   Of course the photos from Jamie Beck’s trip out to Palm Spring makes the cut for my weekend reading post. I adore seeing all the behind the scenes photos to then finally being able to see the final result as well!
•   As I told you before, I adore Olivia and her gorgeous gems. Now Diane is doing a giveaway which makes it possible for you to win a piece from her collection. Bonne chance to you all!
•   I’ve never been a big London fan (perhaps because I haven’t been for such a long time…) but these photos, from the blog Park & Cube, made me want to book a ticket to the city right away. I should really go soon! Especially since it’s so close by…
•   If there’s something I adore sometimes (well, probably most of the time) it’s simplicity. And some people do it so well! Like Alice for example.
•   The New York Times lists the 9 best walks in all of Europe. I’ve been telling myself to go to the “Paris Promenade” for such a long time, but I guess I really have to put that on top of my list now.
•   Last week I told you about a site that featured paintings of New York windows, this weeks it’s a site that does New York buildings.

Check out the feature with me on Lost in Cheeseland today. Thank you Lindsey for letting me be a part of your Franco File Friday series!
