Autumn in Paris (DMH Guest post)

Well it has begun. Just as Parisians leave the city in summer, the leaves do the same in winter.

With Alice working long days the adventuring and blogging has fallen to moi, and thus the delays in posting. We are of course on the downhill slide back to Oz, with our final journey all booked and planned to the last detail.




The days are getting cooler and the streets becoming tourist free, perhaps it is now time to visit more museums. Until then, please enjoy the turning leaves, I'll take more snaps as the situation progresses.

Aini - meeny - miney - mo

Well campers, Alice has bought a new skirt and it's more than a little pretty. The shop is Aini, a little spot, tucked between Place Des Vosges and rue Saint Antoine in the 4e.



It has no zip or buttons but relies on a fold and the tie. The designer was in the shop at the time of purchase and while she spoke to me in very speedy French I think I understood most of it. The inspiration is in part from kimonos, she is one of a team of three who design the clothes and they've had their shop for five years. The website (link above) is mostly under construction but I think I could well be going back, so this blog could become something of a Aini catalogue. In my opinion, it's just wonderful and so I wanted to share.
