oh courant
An end-of-the-week stroll through a favorite quartier today led me to stumble across the most brightly-colored { and classically French } advert.


Nothing but the basics : a great set of legs, a tri-colore palette and a tulle-textured skirt.

This weekend, the film-aficionados over at Hulu have decided to make the Criterion Collection gratuit. 

For the next 72-hours, hope for the rainy weather that merits a guilt-free film marathon. With so many to choose from, it pays to be strategic. If you find yourself overwhelmed, take a look at my picks below.

Chinese Roulette (1976)

Cléo From 5 to 7 (1961)

A Woman Under the Influence (1974)

Belle de Jour (1967)

Or really anything New Wave.

And for the internationals, don't forget that you too can get your fix of all things American.

I've already mentioned my obsession with Devour--hand-picked YouTube videos that cater to my nerd-slash-artsy side. In another rainy-day internet browsing spree I came across the genius of Matthieu Frost. 


Je craque over the outfits and pride myself on recognizing the view out her window as being just two metro stops from my own....bref, this video is everything I pretend to be on a daily basis.

Off to pick up my own copy of Jalouse.

Good morning readers! After finally getting my act together, I'm happy to announce my latest project within the scope of this blog: book reviews of French-American novels, specifically those focused on the illusive 'year-abroad.'

As an American in Paris for over a year now (g-a-s-p), I've got enough of my own life experiences to offer, and will gladly judge the work of others in whose footsteps I'm inadvertently following.

Salut les lecteurs ! C'est avec plaisir que j'announce un nouvelle facet de mon blog: les critiques des romans Franco-Américain ! Ecrire les novels d'une fille (ou garçon  qui passe un an a Paris est vraiment a la mode : allez-y a votre librarie ou meme amazon pour chercher entre les collections enorme d'aventures et histoires personelles des Anglo-phones en France.

Comme Américaine a Paris, je trouve ce trend tres interessante, assez que je decidais lire tout les romains ce que je peux trouver. En lisant le plus vite que possible pour Ã©crire un commentaire pensif et intellectuel, j'espere aider mes amis qui cherchent un compte realistic (et assez amusant) d'une vie quotidienne a Paris.

My latest coup de coeur is stocked on the shelves of my local supermarche, ie. it's not expensive. Entrez Garnier L'huile merveilleuse: huile d'argan + camélia

Argan oil first entered my life through the advice of a friend and fellow American-in-Paris who had lugged her brightly-hued teal bottles with her, convinced that the one thing Paris lacked was proper hair care. 

{ Sidenote: Seemingly perfect French girls spotted on the metro with enviously-long locks are hiding a secret. Many an abrupt-metro-break has lanced me into other passengers, giving me an up-close and personal view of their meter-long split-ends. Je ne veux pas. } 

Two drops are just enough to smooth out any fly aways and condition the worst winter damage. Officially hooked.
