The Paris Journal | Philippine Scali

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.

Simple Pleasures
