Since life often feels a bit rough these days (even when you live in Paris), I’m turning the ✨romanticize-my-life✨ dial up to 11 in 2026.

Do you know what I mean? I want to find + celebrate all the everyday beauty, like a basket full of delectables from the Sunday marché and a clever bouchon (wine stopper) made from an old doorknob. Like a bottle of wine with no label gifted to us by an Italian friend.

It was surprising how much enjoyment I got from just unpacking these little treasures and taking a few minutes to arrange and admire them before putting them away.
