My parents live in Paris so it’s become a home away from
home and September is definitely a wonderful time to visit with perfect
weather, the leaves are starting to turn but it's still warm! There is excitement in the air, everyone is back from
holiday and I arrived the day after the "la rentrée" week, when both school and work started up again.
Most days on my trip began with a run in the Luxembourg
Gardens, a beautiful garden surrounding the Senate just a few minutes walk from
their place in St. Germain.

One of the first things I noticed in Paris this time was the men's street style. I saw some great outfits and some really stand out shoes!

On this trip, I spent a lot of time seeing all the creative art Paris has to offer. I love this mobile at Le Musee Des Art Decoratifs. The museum has an eye catching shop, filled with modern art inspired design.

Le Palais de Tokyo is one of my favorite museums in Paris. With it's regularly rotating exhibits and interactive layout, Le Palais de Tokyo is always fun and engaging.

A real highlight at Palais de Tokyo is Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's row boat installation. Guests ride a row boat through near darkness and explore the landscapes of the installation while ghostlike holograms are projected on the walls. It's kind of like an art exhibit and theme park ride in one!

I love the golden gates and foyer of the elegant Petit Palais

La Maison Europeenne de la Photographie is holding a Lanvin exhibit to coincide with Paris Fashion Week. The exhibit focuses on everything that goes on backstage to produce a fashion show.

Now, I can't wait to go back to Paris for Christmas!
