Collier de la Concorde

Settling into a new home is never easy, but it sure is an adventure. In the past week I have hit almost all the major tourist attractions (Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Montparnasse Tower, Arc de Triomphe, etc.) and they have been everything I imagined and then some! While I will be mixing in pictures of these beauties, I would like to share the less seen and smaller details of Paris that I find stunning like this gorgeous pillar that is a few blocks from the Louvre. 

Top 3 highlights:

1. Attending GlassCamp- a Hackathon in Paris where everyone created projects relating to Google Glass- while I only understood about 50% of what was happening, it was really cool to start to find the startup scene here!

2. Going to the Musee D'Orsay and seeing some of my favorite artists then having a picnic on the Seine after

3. Having an interview for the Google BOLD internship which I am waiting hear back about the results!

Bonjour Paris!

Description: My first sighting of the Eiffel Tower was not your stereotypical view. It was so foggy I couldn't even see the top. I loved it even more because of this! I translated it into a foldover clutch with the tip of the Eiffel Tower as the portion that would be folding. 

I decided to get back up and blogging for my semester abroad in Paris! In the next 4 months I will be taking pictures of inspirational monuments, little hidden gems, or anything I find inspiring and then interpreting it into art of any kind. Translation: I don't have my sewing machine. So I will be blending my sketching and traditional art with a touch of graphic design. Bare with me! 

The transition to Parision life has been full of crêpes, jet lag, and strolls on the Seine. Not too shabby. It has definitely been a culture shock but one I know will be well worth it. I will be taking business and entrepreneurship classes, potentially interning at a startup, and blogging as much as possible. 

The biggest reason I chose to start this type of blog again is because the 55 Purses NYC pushed me to start everyday looking for the beauty in everything. My goal is to inspire you to start your search for beauty in every puddle, step, or journey you take! Allons-y (let's go)
