RE: Our Paris Apartment

Kelly · Hermes

oh my gosh it's so beautiful! I am definitely jealous!

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

What a great trip, you're so lucky!

halleybird · Hermes

OMG! It's beautiful. Such a great location, too! And really, the cost isn't bad at all. You'd definitely pay more for a decent hotel for an entire month, and you wouldn't be in nearly as nice of a neighborhood. What do you plan to do while you're there?

What a great apartment! Paris is such an amazing city, enjoy it! Also, just wondering, do you speak French? If you do, think how much you'll improve in the month you're there. It's totally worrth it just for that. And if you don't, it's still totally worth it!

lol, aside from moi, au revoir, c'est la vie and merde (!), i don't speak a word! but i'm getting french tapes/cds to listen to in the car so i can learn at least a little bit before i get there

Thanks, hb! That's what we figured re: the price. As for what we plan to do, we really don't know! We want to do it all, all the touristy stuff but also really get a feel for what it's like to live in Paris and just be Parisian

Kel · Coach

wow, the place looks awesome. I am so jealous.

relrel · Marc Jacobs

That apartment looks so amazing, how exciting for you! It will be so nice to be there for so long, you really will get the time to see the Paris as it really as and not just the tourist stuff. Ahh, just imagine waking up in the mornings and heading out for a coffee at some gorgeous cafe.

NCshopper · Hermes

I'm so jealous! First of all, that place is amazing. Seriously, just what a Paris apartment should be. Secondly, a whole month?!?!?!! Can we trade lives please?!?!?! That is so cool that you're able to do that. You're going to have a blast.

Do you guys plan on travelling outside of Paris/France, or are you just going to spend your time getting to know the city? Either way would be awesome. You could use your apartment as kind of a home base and travel all over or you could just get to emerse yourself in Paris in such a chic, Carrie Bradshaw-kind-of-way...only without the crappy boyfriend.

joy0302 · Kate Spade

That is so exciting for you! Your apartment looks perfect and I agree the price is way cheaper than a hotel would have been for an entire month. Congratulations! It is always best to jump on an opportunity when you can, since you may never have the chance again!

kahluamilk · Dooney & Bourke

wow.. that place is amazing!!! don't forget to make a trip to the flagship louis vuitton!!

rlutz · Chanel

wow, the place looks amazing....you are going to have such an amazing time

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I love your spot in Paris, it's just beautiful! I hope you enjoy it, it looks like so much fun!

Bastet · Kate Spade

OMG, that apartment is *gorgeous*!!

I'm going to the South of France in September, and I'm brushing up on my French via the internet. If you're interested in picking up some basic French for travel, go to french.about.com and sign up for the "travel French" email newsletter, it's really helpful, and I think it would work for someone who has not studied it previously. Here's the link if you want to do the email course (it's free): http://french.about.com/c/ec/22.htm

If you don't want to do the email course, they have a lesson of the day page that's pretty useful, too.

Also, I pm'd you a restaurant recommendation.

Gorgeous! I love the Latin Quarter!! I'm so jealous

Claudia · Gucci

How exciting! I love the apartment. I'm sure you and your friend are going to have a great time. I would love to do that one day.

Hedvig · Coach

A month in Paris sounds so wonderful - and what a gorgeous apartment! You'll have an amazing time there!

Sunshinegirl · Kate Spade

One word - Jealous. No seriously, have fun and we expect an on-line stylethread daily diary ( or atleast every few days) complete with pictures, especially of the patisseries and chocolatiers since they have the most amazing window displays.

rosie_the_riveter · Gucci

That is incredibly awesome. Hope you have lots of fun.

alb · Marc Jacobs

That apt is fabulous and the location is awesome! Can I come visit in Oct. when I'm living in Cairo? Just kidding I will be 8 mos pg and not much fun by then! Seriously, you will have to check in from time to time so that we can all live viaciously through you!
