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.

Weekend Reading
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.

Beach Life
Yesterday this was my view. I’m in loove with Corsica so far. And I even made it in the water!

Today I’m leaving for Corsica! I’m longing for sun, walks along the water and just reading a book without any “musts” for a few days. Hopefully there will be some wifi connection over there so that I can share photos with you all!
7th Arrondissement
The 7th arrondissement must be one of the most famous arrondissements in all of Paris. It’s the home to the Eiffel Tower, the Invalides and the beautiful Musée Rodin for example (and let’s not forget about a few of my favourite restaurants). I love this neighbourhood because of all the gorgeous buildings (some will seriously make your jaw drop), the small Parisian streets and the cosy feeling I get from strolling around here. A big part of this arrondissement can feel very residential but if you end up on streets like Rue Saint Dominique, Rue Grenelle or Rue Cler it’s just perfect. I love walking from Champ de Mars all the way to Le Bon Marché and continue into the 6th arrondissement. It’s a lovely walk and I can never put down my camera for more than three seconds because of all the lovely things I pass along the way!
Weekend Reading
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“.
Today’s Buy
Nothing makes you feel a little bit better than pretty pink flowers. Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
Hello May
Where did the time go? The month of May is already here and bunch of new and exciting things are just around the corner!
(Please excuse the lack of updates, replies to e-mails and comments over the last couple of days. I’ve been under the weather during the last week but hopefully I’ll be back on my feet, and behind the camera, very soon again)
