Dearest and beloved JBD’ers, Bonjour from the City of Angels. It has been one month since I’ve settled back into West Coast living. I do not miss a second of the New York City lifestyle, alas my heart feels free and wild once again. I do, however, still adore Paris and I’ve been plotting my next […]
Paris has presence. She is confident and coy, sophisticated and unique. I shared snapshots on Instagram and then took a few more to feed the Parisian need. Image Credits: Jenny Graham * iPhone * Champs-Élysées
I feel camaraderie with anyone who up and jumps at opportunity, who goes for it even when the plan isn’t fully laid out. Cook, baker and writer David Lebovitz did just that when he left San Francisco for Paris. His delicious story is detailed on his blog, one I’ve been reading for a long while. Each time I find myself […]
Last month I got lost in Paris. It began with a chance meeting with a guy named Gregory. Inherent coolness radiated from his being into handwritten recommendations. The next day, I was off to le 10ème to connect at an actual unnamed cafe. I never made it (although I did see Gregory again). Instead, after hours of […]
The best moments of my life always seem to give me the feeling of walking along a yellow brick road. About two weeks ago I was on Rue Saint-Blaise, in the heart of the village of Charonne, when I sauntered into Les Potes au Feu. The funny thing is, I had walked by it at least eight times […]
What are your weekend plans? Going anywhere? I’m staying put in Brooklyn all weekend long, planning to live a version of a Parisian day I had last week. This will include hitting up a handful of bookstores and listening to live music. While I was in Paris, I perused poetry on the Bagnolet (aka a […]
Forget haute couture. Whether or not you have a sweet tooth, it’s hard to turn down any version of a Parisian cake. I’m perfect proof, having always chosen the french fry over the macaroon. But in Paris…in Paris…this American girl savored every bit of each eclair. From the 1st to the 20th arrondissement, an extraordinary […]
Pop the Moët and dance away the weekend! I’m dreaming of this dress for the holiday. And stargazing over these, too… Fizz Image: Jenny Graham // Frock Image: Reformation

I’ve been collecting Jessica Durrant watercolors for a few years. A handful of her gorgeous, calming, feminine creations fill the walls of my living room and home office, many gifted by family who know they can’t go wrong at Christmas with this pretty gift. Paris is usually on my mind, more so now because I […]
