The weather outside is frightful...let's go to France!

Today is a balmy 9 degrees and snowy. On days like today, I like to open all the windows so I can watch the snow, light an evergreen candle, and catch up on my favorite blogs. At the top of the list is all of you wonderful ladies of course, and a few others.

One of my very very favorite blogs to read is Vanity Fair's Daily Society & Style blog. It is perfect for someone on the society/royal watch. They also do a fab holiday gift guide, which this year includes a grey leather Chloe clutch with bedazzled bow. Holiday party perfect!

Another one of my favorites is The Paris Apartment. Here you can purchase French inspired furniture, mirrors, stationery, and other accessories. But make sure you check out her blog as well, the pictures are to die for! Which only makes me think of one of my other favorite websites, FrenchVillas. I could spend hours browsing the villas. My favorite of the moment? This French Riviera gem:
