Happy birthday to my beautiful babies, Buffy and Willow. I can’t believe you’re both 11 years young- the time has just flown by. Love you girls!

Taking selfies isn’t rocket science, but it certainly is an art! Although we might look silly taking these pictures, it’s important to have a few in your camera roll to share on social media, your dating profile, or anywhere else you post pictures of yourself. Finding your angles is the first order of business, followed by proper lighting, and then your pose (both face and body)! I’ve shared an example of my typical selfie, which shows my features in a way I like and gives people a general sense of me. Selfies hold a lot of power (just ask the Kardashians), and if you can master the selfie, you can probably be a decent photographer of other things as well!

September is probably one of my favorite months in Paris because the weather is amazing, and people are in a great mood with the kids just back to school. Something I love to do is people-watch, and observe what they eat and wear, the simple things they do. Oftentimes, I notice women, fully decked out head to toe in the most beautiful outfits while doing very mundane tasks such as eating their morning croissants. It’s made me re-evaluate how I dress to leave the house, even if only for a snack. I’ve noticed that no matter what your style is, you can always embody a cool French girl aesthetic by how you put together an outfit- it’s all about mixing/matching/and styling. As you can see in my picture, I styled a simple black dress with comfortable sneakers and an over-the-shoulder bag. This simple outfit is an example of my everyday go-to look for city life and something that’s easy for anyone to recreate.
