Lune de Miel: Destination -- Paris

Slip by Clare Tough. Did you swoon when you saw it?

Whenever something really exciting is about to happen in my life, I think the anticipation and the preparation for the main event are almost as exciting as the actual moment -- well, maybe not, but it draws out the pleasure. Planning is so much fun.


That's why I asked my friend, the creator of The Vivienne Files, to pull together a long weekend second honeymoon in -- where else (?) -- Paris.


Once again, it's perfection from take off to the last night of room service. You'll note she also packed a candle. Ambiance, ambiance, ambiance, n'est-ce pas? Order up -- or sneak into the room -- a bottle of Champagne and add more memories to your lune de miel (honeymoon).

Maybe yellow is what you wore on your first date.  Maybe it's your sweetheart's favorite color.  Maybe it just makes you radiant.  For whatever reason, it's the color of choice for this long weekend in Paris, dedicated ONLY to celebrating your happiness together.  Lots of pretty, lots of flowers, lots of love!
