Madame Grès Exhibition, Musée Bourdelle

Yesterday I went to the Madame Grès Exhibition at the Musée Bourdelle. I had not heard about her before, but I was really surprised at how beautiful and timeless her design was. She established her own haute couture house in 1942 and was famouse for her drapings. The exhibition was amazing and I would encourage everyone with a thing for haute couture to visit it soon....

Lingeri guide part 1: Princesse Tam Tam

I am a sucker for nice lingeri as I used to have my own lingeri store in Copenhagen - that was the days. France have the best selection of brands and stores in the world, but it can be difficult to navigate so I thought I would make a mini guide of the ones I like and know are good from experience. Princesse Tam Tam is one of my favourites. They make cute lingeri with nice details such as bows and stars. This season I really like their swimwear, as they keep it fairly simple without being boring. And the best part is the low prices....

Café des Musées, 49 rue de Turenne

Café des Musées is a typical french restaurant that doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is one of the best value for money places you will find in Paris. It is a place we had recommend as a good, but affordable "everyday" restaurant. They have a three course menu for 20 Euros, but we decided to go à la carte. The portions are fairly big, so doing more than two courses actually turned out be a bit of a challenge and for once I actually had to skip the dessert. It is not the best food I have had in Paris, but if you are looking for something, where you can got food at a good price, then this is one of the best places I have been so far....

Rosa Bonheur Bar, Parc Buttes Chaumont

Yesterday afternoon I went to meet some friends at the Rosa Bonheur Bar inside the Parc Buttes Chaumont. It is a really cosy hangout spot when the weather is good and you just want to sit in the sun and have a drink. We got their around 16 o'clock and it was still pretty relaxed, but later in the evening the place gets super packed with people and they turn the inside of the bar into a dancefloor. It has the feeling of a streetparty and everyone just stands around talking and dancing. For a summernigth out in Paris this is definitely one of my favourites....
