J’adore #50

Merit Badges

Time for another edition of J’adore – we are at 50, can you believe it?  I guess as long as the Universe (or the Interwebs) are putting out cool, cute, funky new stuff, there will be a need to share them with you!  I really do have a lot of fun curating this series, so [...]

J’adore – AFAR Local Experts

Local Experts

It is no secret how much I love AFAR. I do happen to be an ambassador for them, but the love affair started long before that. Whether it is the magazine (my favorite), their charity or the online site, AFAR creates an experience. And it is not just the folks that get an actual paycheck [...]

J’adore #49 (Travel Stuff Edition)

Herb Lester San Francisco Map

Oscar related posts coming!!!  But for now…. As a traveler I am constantly attracted to items of a travel theme or nature.  I can’t buy everything I see (who can!) so I collect things I like (and often want) in this J’adore series.  It is a way of virtual shopping.  Win-win.  I share products I [...]

J’adore – WideAngle

Wide Angle Photo Library

Love is Paris. Love is the perfect travel companion. Love is the croissant David Lebovitz ate this morning. Wait. What? Is that only me? I am discovering a whole bunch of ways to express what love is to me.  And if you have been around these parts for a while, you’ll know it often leads [...]

J’adore #48 (Candy Edition 2)

Seely Family Farm Peppermint Patties

I am not sure if it is coming off the holiday season or if it’s because we are closing in on Valentine’s Day, but I have candy on the brain! If I ate as much candy as I am currently thinking about I would be 500 pounds! Problem is, I have already  tried several of [...]

J’adore – Jewelsies

MWA Custom Collages from Half Hours

This is not the first time that I have written about how much I adore Kate and her jewelry shops Jewelsies and Half Hours.  As a francophile, her items call to me.  But beyond the French or Parisian-themed necklaces, earrings and pendants, she also crafts beautiful art deco, antique-styles and mix metal pieces that appeal [...]

J’adore – Lessons from Madame Chic

Madame Chic

Sunday night I was watching Un Bonheur N’arrive Jamais Seul which came out in cinemas this past summer in France (Happiness Never Comes Alone in English).  It stars Gad Elmaleh, an actor I adore and Sophie Marceau who I find to be a gorgeous representation of the French woman I would die to be.  She is [...]

J’adore – Eat Boutique

J'adore Eat Boutique - Out And About Paris by White Loft Studio

The first time I encountered Maggie, the mastermind behind Eat Boutique, was at professional social media conference three years ago in Boston. She was speaking on a panel about community while in the process of transitioning from Trip Advisor to Haven in Paris where she had begun to work with. Being an avid reader of [...]

J’adore – AFAR Wandering Chef

Joel Robuchon Atelier in Las Vegas

Back in 2008 when I started this blog I was pretty convinced that Anthony Bourdain had my dream job.  But now that I have had time to reflect on it, I am pretty sure it is Jen Murphy of AFAR. Jen is the deputy editor of AFAR magazine and the lucky gal assigned to all [...]

J’adore – A Slice of Delight

A-Slice-of-Delight-Rainbow-Soap

I first introduced you to A Slice of Delight back in when I interviewed the owner, Hilary, for a French Friday feature and giveaway.  Hilary is a francophile who has spent time in France, lives in Berkeley where her kids attend the French school and is the creative mind behind her own soap business. She [...]
