Are There Perks for Flying with One Airline?

Bonjour mes amies! Are you a loyal airline flyer, or do you search for the best deal? If searching for the best deal is your nature, you are not alone.

FOMO : The Fear of Missing Out…Because of What?

Bonjour mes amies! FOMO is REAL. While this term is mainly associated avec social media #hashtags, the concept predates Wi-Fi (for my Gen Zers.) FOMO typically resonates when scrolling and a photo (or video) of a group of friends or loved ones are out celebrating, beachside/poolside (vintage mes amies know this would NEVER evoke FOMO avec moi), shopping on Rue…

Oddly enough, one of my first flights was over huit-heures. Of course, never having experienced Business or First Class, I didn't think that I was missing out on anything. It wasn't until my first…

Has Fall Fallen? My Fall ‘22 Shopping List

Bonjour mes amies! I have gone to très, très great length to NOT speak about Autumn during "Hot Girl Summer" (do we still say that?)

Bonjour Paris! Voyage Recap & My Paris.

Bonjour mes amies! Après deux ans away from my beloved Paris, I finally returned. My return à Paris was everything I could hope for and more.

The Good, Bad & Ugly of Petit Voyages

Bonjour mes amies! I’m beginning to feel like a broken record when I say I have traveled the world in less than trois jours. Vintage mes amies will remember my jet-setting escapades. Pre-pandemic, this was a common occurrence pour moi. Said petit voyages would typically begin avec my "infamous" passport photo for Insta around noon-EST. By the time one's feed…
