Our Guide to Our Long Lost Love, Paris

On our most recent shopping trip for Elsie Green, we detoured to one of our favorite European cities and had a 72 hour reunion with our long lost love, Paris. It felt so good to explore a city that feels simultaneously familiar and veiled with a bit of mystery.

When we're planning a trip, there are a few people we turn to for their recommendations.  One is our friend Victoria Smith, Curator of  Super Marché and editor of SF Girl by Bay, has a cool, bohemian style that we love. And she knows how to get the most out of a quick trip or a long holiday.   Read on for Victoria's Paris list.

We love a good list. We all have notes in our phones of all the shops that we have heard about that we want to visit or that are tried and true staples for us.
We love a good round-up and thought we'd share all of the products we love that give back to Mother Earth in some way.
