Something caught my eye today: it was a headline on PSFK that read “LOUIS VUITTON LAUNCHES TRAVEL BOOKS COLLECTION.”
I just had to see what this was all about.
Turns out that Louis Vuitton recently worked with four artists (Natsko Seki, Cheri Samba, Jean-Philippe Delhomme and Daniel Arsham) to create stunning travel guides for London, Paris, New York and Easter Island. (Yes, I was thrown off by the fourth destination as well…)
I’d love to get my hands on this collection…
Paris is the city of lights and of love, but I’m going to give it one more title – the city of detail. Ornate detail finds its way into the everyday – in architecture, displays, signs and even food.

Though it’s technically my third time visiting the city of light, this is the first time I’ve felt like I’m truly experiencing the culture of the city. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen all of the major touristy sights and this time can just be, or maybe it’s because we’re renting an apartment as opposed to hostelling, but one day in and I’m already noticing a difference.
Today’s pic is a little collage of some of the great stuff I saw today: our super cute airbnb apartment in Le Marais, a local resto we passed while exploring the city (that to me is exactly what a restaurant in Paris should look like) and part of a window display from an adorable shop where I bought an equally adorable ring.
A bientot!
