No I’m not lucky, I’m blessed, yes!

It’s my Birthday!

"No I'm not lucky, I'm blessed, yes!" - Moment For Life, Nicki M

I spent the day with my Mr. Big and our son.  The night before was spent
stuffing my face my raviolis and tiramisu with Franziska and Gulcan then
meeting up Anna at Chez Jeanette where her friend was Djing.

I finally wore that dress I posted about here, even though I kept wanting to
change because it seemed so short and tight. My hubby reassured me (& my paranoia)
 by telling me it was just fine.

So, after squeezing ourselves inside, we managed to form a small congregation

around the Dj Table.  I heard two girls say disappointingly,  on entering

“This is a lesbian bar”, I was like “no its not”, but then I remembered that I did get

hit on by a woman and I said “there are “some” lesbians here, but I’d say there’s a 50/50

ratio including straight people”.

They looked at us, laughed and on their way out said “have a good time in your

NON-lesbian bar”.

I said “sure!” “See you girls back here next week?”

It was a fun night!

Anyways, as I digress, another year stronger, wiser, better and fitter.

And I will be quoting more Nicki Minaj this year.
Thank you to all of you who love & support me and are a part
of my life-long glee club.


Fruit Shopping: Rue du Faubourg Saint Denis

I still can’t believe I woke up at 10AM this morning – damn you Vodka and Apple Juice! We celebrated the union of two awesome people last night and it was so much fun.

Somehow I managed to sleep through the noise from the Saturday morning cartoon marathon that my son was enjoying. So to make the most of the morning, we decided to run out and get some fruits and vegetables down the street. I intuitively just grab my camera now before I head out. I figure hey, practice makes perfect, even if its just practice on fruits. :)

These carrots were yellow! I swear I eat the best and most varied fruits and veggies since moving to france.

We had so much Mint tea in Morocco that I’ve been hooked. Now I make ours from scratch too and its so easy.

Have a great weekend!

The Best Sequin Dress Ever!

I think I’ve Found My Birthday Dress…

Get Me Bodied!

I usually don’t wear a lot of minis – but I’ve been thinking if God gives you lemons you might as well make Lemonade and since my legs are one of by best physical attributes well it couldn’t hurt to start showing a bit of skin, right!?

My birthday’s not until January but I’m already making plans – January will definitely be like the Jay-Z and Pharell Video for “Change Clothes”

change clothes – Jay Z

You can pay for school but you can’t buy class

Just playing around, with Caroline, on our way back from lunch. We had my favorite Bo-bun at my favorite lil Asian restaurant in Paris near Arts et Metier.

Patience is a virtue I don’t seem to poses. Sorry Caro.

Ok, so here is my best, lets-go smile. Check out the pack of Reese’s on top of my purse – yummy!

Camel Coat – Zara
Leather Jacket – BB Dakota
White Shirt – H&M
Black Jeans – Cheap Monday
Pink Clutch/Purse – Urban Outfitters
Sunglasses – Vintage – they remind me of Peter Tosh 70s style.

My shoes are actually mens shoes that say ‘Made In France’. I’m so in love with them because they are so comfy.

Some old photos of my son and I on the balcony! He is a handful – but he is the light of our life.

thanks to my hubby for the photoshoot.
