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.  

When we're planning a trip, there are a few people we turn to for their recommendations.  One is our friend Philippine Scali.  

Born and raised in Paris, Philippine now splits her time between San Francisco and France.  She works as an art director, photo editor,  stylist, and product consultant. 

The perfect dinner party playlist for an intimate gathering that will transition naturally from cocktails to dinner and then to a bit of dancing should the mood strike.

The shop girls of Elsie Green love getting lost in the pages of a good book.

We keep a small library of books at the shop and regularly discuss what we're reading and loving right now.

Fall is one of the best seasons for produce. Butternut squash, apples, pumpkins, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes...our bags can't help but burst at the farmers market.

When we’re visiting France and one of our friends invites us into her kitchen, and we see all the beautiful vintage copper pots, pans and vessels, we get a bit jealous.
