Welcome back to “Weekly Links I Love” here on The Parisialite! Leading up to the Holidays, you’ll find some cozy interiors, gift ideas I love and fun Christmas activities in and around Paris.
- A dreamy renovated Saint-Germain-des-Prés apartment to swoon on in Vogue Australia.
- The Saint Laurent bag I’m coveting to fit my laptop and other mom life essentials in a really chic way: Y Cabas en Cuir.
- Celine Paris launched its first make-up collection this year, following the success of its haute parfumerie, exclusive and luxurious scents available in-store. Beautiful packaging, the quintessentially Parisian “Rouge à lèvres” is the ultimate shade of red ‘Rouge Triomphe’. I can’t wait to try it! Available for purchase here.
- Holiday Gifts for Teachers is always a big decision in December and I usually resort to some nice chocolates. This year, I’ll be doing Marcolini’s Christmas Chocolates, and I hope they will enjoy them! I often chose Marcolini for gifts if I’m not sure the receiver is a chocolate lover, as this chocolatier offers a range of sweeter and very aesthetically pleasing treats.
- Experience the magic of Le Grand Noël de Vaux-le-Vicomte this December, with enchanting fairytale-themed castle decor, an immersive Dickens-inspired Christmas show, a dazzling light projection, and a festive ice-skating rink in the château’s breathtaking gardens. A perfect holiday outing for all ages just outside Paris!
- Celebrate the festive season at the Hôtel de Crillon’s Christmas Market on December 7th and 8th, where you can discover unique gifts ranging from jewelry to candles and Butterfly Pâtisserie’s exquisite holiday treats. Don’t miss the Christmas collection by Pastry Chef Matthieu Carlin, featuring yule logs, gingerbread, and other delightful confections. Part of the market’s proceeds will support the Aïda association, making it a heartwarming shopping experience in the heart of Paris.
I hope you found some festive inspiration today!
Au revoir et à bientôt, mes amis!
