Paris vs. New York

Paris vs. New York is a series of witty prints designed by Vahram Muratyan (himself a traveler between Paris and New York) that are just right up my alley! I heard about these prints quite a long time ago but recently I bought my friend the book collection of the prints and decided I really want to buy a print for my room.

So in case you don't know about these amazing prints, here are a few of my favorites:

(Being a pretty big Mad men fan, I'll probably end up getting this one)

You can see some extra designs on the blog but all prints available for purchase can be found here.

P.S. The book makes a really good gift for your Francophile friends!
P.P.S. Not to hate on NYC, but Paris probably wins this contest for me (shhhh...)

Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, Ireland

One of the most breathtaking places I've visited. This property/castle/fairyland was used as an abbey, residence, even a girls boarding school. Oh majestic beauty! Not too bad for testing out my new f/1.8 lens on interior details either.

Monastic skin care, Florence

Farmacia Santa Maria Novella is a pharmaceutic house founded in 1612 by the monks of the nearby church of the same nam. The world-famous soaps, fragrances, and rose water are still produced according to the old monastic code. Even though I spent four months in Florence, I only recently heard of this great find. It is such a unique place and the products are not only aesthetically gorgeous but among the best in skin care and confectionery goods. I definitely recommend anyone visiting Florence take a trip down to this erboristeria. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Farmacia Santa Maria Novella est un maison pharmaceutique fondée en 1612 par les moines de l'église d'à côté du même nom. Les produits connus par tout le monde, y compris des savons, eaux de parfum et l'eau de rose sont encore fait selon les règles anciennes des moines. Bien que j'ait habité à Florence pendant quatre mois, je n'en avais entendu pas jusqu'à présent. C'est un endroit très charmant et les produits ne sont pas seulement beaux mais aussi parmi le meilleur de la beauté et les sucreries. Je conseille à tous d'y aller! Je garantis que vous ne soyez pas déçus.
