Well we’ve only been here two and a bit days but we are already loving Paris so much it’s killing us.  En route to Hello Etsy, we are spending a few days in the city of lights for a wee look-see at Paris Design Week amongst other things.

Firstly, there’s something you should know about this place.  The women here have the most amazingly well-toned upper arms it makes me want to do tricep lifts until I’m blue in the face. I have decided it’s some kind of Gallic genetic predisposition, or something in the baguettes.  Maybe it’s from carrying the baguettes while cycling the streets.  Maybe it’s the weight of being so beautiful it keeps your arms toned.  Perhaps the effortlessly chic-ness of them means lean biceps and neatly formed deltoid outlines.  I can’t tell.  Whatever the reason, it’s catapulting us daily into a 3/4 length sleeve, minimum.

If you’d like to see what we’re up to, Renee is diligently uploading photos each night that we’re both taking during our travels to a dedicated Tumblr site.  If you’re interested, head over and take a look.  Try not to die.
