Book Recommendation: How to be Parisian

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

  This book isn’t something new for the fashion crowd out there. But since it was just released in German we thought it would be great to share it once more. The book is funny from the beginning until the end. Caroline De Maigret along with three other French ladies tells all the women around the world how to be Parisian wherever you are. What key pieces you need to have in your closet and how, most important, your attitude and habits need to be. There are no long essays but great short entries and so many good quotes everyone should keep in mind from time to time. After reading this book you start to feel a little more what life is about. It’s about living, give yourself the chance to do so and don’t let too many people judge your life after all.

Ten Things I learned when living in Paris

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

1. Paris is the place build of the most beautiful and romantic architecture. Full stop. It is a pleasure and privilege to be able to walk through these countless beautiful streets and see all the famous monuments. 2. After my time in Paris I am now officially unable to eat crêpes in any other country than France. Others just don’t get it – they never taste the same. You can find my favorite crêpes store in Montmartre, in Rue des Abbesses. 3. When in Paris, you should stick to drinking black coffee. It is a waste of time and effort to try to get a nice cappuccino – the Parisians don’t believe in milky mix drinks really. And you won’t regret it since the black coffee is just far better in France! 4. The French style is a unique token of elegance in this world. It is hard to imitate and even harder to learn but it is the real deal. Only French women manage to look this elegant in a striped t-shirt and jeans …

After living in Paris for half a year, I was lucky enough to experience many places and see everything that I had planned in advance. Therefore, I figured it might be interesting to share my best tips with you guys – maybe for your next city trip to Paris! 1. Buvette has the best breakfast in town! 2. Le Palais Royale is a very beautiful place to stroll, have a nice coffee or just sit and read a book. 3. Take a walk along the Seine when the sun goes down. 4. Le Coq Rico has a really nice ambiance and lovely chicken dishes. Try the Cross Hermitage red wine with it – it’s divine! 5. Père Lachaise is a real experience. I believe it is the loveliest in autumn, when the leaves are colored in yellow, orange and red. This place is so peaceful yet so interesting. 6. St.Germain des Près is a perfect area to do some shopping, visit the Jardin du Luxembourg and sip some coffee in the sun. 7. Les Puces (Porte …

Buvette is my favorite place in whole Paris to have a traditional and nice brunch with some good friends or family. The place is cozy and traditional and offers high quality breakfast dishes that will satisfy brunch-lovers from all around the world with typical French dishes and international delicacies. I personally can highly recommend the “Granola with fresh red fruits” and “Brouilles Jambon”, which is just pure deliciousness on a plate!

Palais Royal

If the weather isn’t too cold outside why not got for a classic trenchcoat with a cozy sweater underneath? It’s the perfect everyday outfit combination. And every girl should own at least one trench. If you buy a good one, you will also be able to get through some nasty rain. Just add a cute hat and have an umbrella with you. Ready you are for a day in town!

Culture in Paris: Opéra Garnier

There certainly are many things in Paris you shouldn’t miss while visiting the city but this place has to be on the top of your list: the Opéra Garnier (or the official name Opéra National de Paris). If you find the time take part in one of their guided tours and experience the opera building on a new level. The interior is absolutely breath-taking and you will always be remembered of the Phantom of the Opera story which plays around this house. Students under 26 pay € 10 for a tour / the full rate is € 12,90 for more information head this way

Christmas is coming closer and we want to make sure that you have the right gifts ready for your beloved ones. Boys, let us tell you this: we love cozy cute sweaters and delicate jewelry pieces. Sence Copenhagen (one of our all-time favorites) is really one of those perfect little gifts for Christmas. Not too glittery and over-sized. When it comes to sweater make sure to buy one which offers a good quality. French Connection for example has some absolutely lovely ones in their winter collection as well as Maje and Whistles.

Coffee in Paris: KB Café

The KB Café is one of my favorite “work-Cafés” – In this case that means that I can work on my projects with free Wifi, a double shot latte and some nice rhubarb crumble or carrot cake. Apart from this the place offers most delicious French quiches with salad and some freshly pressed juices. The KB is as well situated in a very nice and quiet neighborhood, sometimes there is even an Antique market just outside KB’s window.
