La Vie Est (Sara) Belle

This was a fun week! I did a lot of new things and ate some delicious food! This week was really slow in the class department,  we only had school Tuesday through Thursday! The week started with a visit to the Louvre and Musee des Arts Decoratifs with our Decorative Arts professor. We looked at a different types of furnishings, as well as decorative objects. Very interesting. The professor has been a curator for over 40 years, so he is so knowledgeable about everything and very interesting to listen to. On Thursday, after school, we all went to support our class mate by visiting her exhibit and capstone project! The concept was super cool and interactive. They set a up a gallery that was completely dark of photographs taken by a local artist. The photos were developed in a way that when you shined a black light on them, they glowed and lit up the gallery. It was a really cool and interactive concept. Congrats to them for an awesome job! On Friday, I went to Notre Dame. I have...

This past week was another good one! I'm very pleased with how smoothly everything has been going. My week at school was really good, I went on several museum trips (one ended with me fainting in the Louvre, but every day can't be perfect. Also, I'm fine) This past week was Paris Fashion week, which basically means that the city is busier than normal and all the fun places are blocked off for runway tents and VIP only areas. On Thursday, one of my friends from school invited me to a little event in the Marais for her boyfriend's shop. It was really fun, complete with adorable puppies, French wine, of course, a lot of good conversation with lovely new people. I had a great time! On Friday, a friend and I had intended to meet at the Decorative Arts museum, which is on the back side of the Louvre, but we couldn't get in because of the obnoxiously long 3 HOUR QUEUE. The museum is also exhibiting a collection of Dior cloths, so EVERYONE and their grandma was in line....
