Pavillon de la Reine

Pâtisserie des Rêves

I had such a great time today ! Thank you so much "La pâtisserie des rêves" for the lovely goûter. The cakes were gorgeous and yummy and it was fun seeing everyone, dressed in white and pink (the colours of the pâtisserie) picnicking Pelouse de Breteuil, near the Invalides.

As you can see on the pictures below some guests layed out some amazing world with taste and creativity.

Tatiana Wolska et Boris Lafargue

Have you crossed the Sully gardens lately? If yes, you will have noticed the huge creations by Tatiana Wolska, made out of cut out and thermosoldered plastic bootles. The master pieces, pierced with tiny holes, are red, the color of the starting autumn. 

On the other side of the garden, the artist Boris Lafargue presents 3 sculptures.

The installation is organised in association with the YIA Art Fair and can be seen until end of October.

Until October 28th, 2015

Brooklyn Bon Marché paris rive gauche

As an art lover I had a great time today discovering the new destination chosen by the Bon Marché Rive Gauche for it's "back to school"theme: Brooklyn. This New York district facing Manhattan houses many creative artists who make handmade, vintage and organic products.

More than a hundred different brands have crossed the Atlantic for this operation, some of them are even presented for the first time in France. The selection is very large: fashion, beauty, accessories, design, children, food. It's on three floors: basement with a great selection for men and a DJ, ground floor and first floor with the largest selection and even a coffee corner and a barber.

Amongst all the products selected, I had a crush on the Alpaca  beanies, the Mason jars which can be used for cocktails (as it's the case in many bars in Paris at the moment) but also for cooking, plants or even pencils. Together with the exhibition, some activies such as brownie-baking sessions for kids are scheduled. 

The prices start from few euros so, even if you are on a budget, you'll find something nice. 

Until October 17th, 2015
