Now that my wedding is less than two months away, it's been a little hectic around here - hectic in the best way possible. Everything seems to be really coming together, thanks to my in-laws who have been so helpful and are taking it seriously, unlike my own family. Get this, my grandmother is actually criticizing our invitations, claiming that we clearly don't know how to put together a proper wedding. Ha! Wait until she sees photos of my dress! She'll pretty much be horrified.
Aside from disparaging commentary, I'd say that my final week of vacation has been pretty good. I've slept in, organized the administrative side of getting married in France (to be shared!) and a few of my articles have been published, here are the clippings...
Thanks to introductions made by Out and About in Paris' Mary-Kay, I met with Selysette, contributor of on-line fashion and art website Lively. Over drinks to catch up on Paris Fashion Week, we learned that we're both native New Yorkers, are part Latina and have a passion for fashion (yeah, like there is only two of us, but still it was pretty cool.) Here are my two cents on one of my favorite events of the year. I also include my "back-row" essentials, because let's be honest I'll never be a front-row gal.
My friends over at tour company Localers asked me to share some of my favorite spots in my old haunt the Marais. If you're coming to Paris and want to take a tour that goes beyond our beloved Eiffel Tower, they offer tons of unique walking tours around the city with their team of experts. No, this is not a sponsored post, I just think these guys are great. After our bonding experience in the caverns of the Catacombs on a cold winter's day in January, these guys proved to know their stuff.

I'm going to end with thanking you all for your comments and e-mails about the incident that happened in the 20th last week. I will respond to comments in the morning. I'm sorry I have been slow with getting back to all of you who take the time in your otherwise busy lives to leave me notes. Thank you again and more importantly, I hope it's made you a drop more aware than I'm sure you already are because you just never know. Bon week-end.
