Finding style in meals, cities, and a lens
Ah Montmartre, the place that became home to famous artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec amongst many others. La Belle Époque left a mark on Montmartre making it the Bohemian center of Paris.
Today, certain parts of Montmartre are filled with tourists and vendors trying to sell their talents and souvenirs. But there is still so much to see.
Below are 10 things to do and see in Montmartre whether you like to keep it traditional or you don’t mind being a tourist.Read More

I’ve disappeared from the blog for several days now but it’s okay cause I’ll have a lot of content to share in the coming weeks. I’m at the beginning of a long journey. First it’s Paris, then Morocco (again because I can’t get enough of it), and then Spain. From there I don’t know what’s next. Anything can happen but for now that’s my last stop.
We made it to the 15th arrondissement and it’s made me nostalgic plus all sorts of happy. The Eiffel Tower is visible when walking to the apartment. It’s so beautiful to see it sparkle at night when getting out from the Metro.
I’m glad I came since I got to practice my French some more. I feel way more confident in speaking it and am remembering the sentence structures even more now. Even Magdalene has been practicing her French. She keeps repeating her salutations and singing Frère Jacques. And I became way more familiar with the Metro and RER. Like my friend said, I’m a true Parisian now.
Café des Deux Moulins
Being in Paris for the second time, it was important to stop by Café des Deux Moulins. You may recognize the café from the popular French film Le Fabuleux Desting d’Amélie Poulain starring Audrey Toutou. Located at 15 Rue Lepic in Montmarte, the Café des Deux Moulins is a cozy café that offers a variety of dishes including a separate menu for kids.Read More
Dear Paris,
This recent trip was the second time I visited you and unlike in March, walking your streets in late November was a no-no for me. There was no snow yet and there was no autumn breeze. Instead, there was a lot of rain, harsh coldness, and grey skies. However, I’m judging you based off of only 5 days of being there. The great thing was that you made me thankful for a lot of things.Read More
Paris may be overrated to some but the identity attached to it won’t be wearing off anytime soon. It is the city of lights, love, and life. Even if you’re just going with friends or your children, the streets of Paris will show you romanticism. Maybe it’s the art nouveau in the train signs or its history but that aura will always remain. Below are some pointers for your Paris travel.
