Frenchie Friday on Saturday - Oct 5, 2024

Bonjour everyone! Sorry for the Saturday delivery but I was actually jetlagged this week. For a globetrotter like me a 3-hour décalage horaire should not have caused such a fuss but it did! I escaped the inferno of Phoenix last weekend and have been heads down with le boulot.

It finally starting to feel a tiny bit like fall and I have pulled out ALL my Quince cashmere sweaters also bought some new pieces in their new limited edition colors which includes 2 shades of blue so I was all over it! I even splurged on some cashmere socks!

In the evening I have been devouring L’Agence on Netflix. One of my French co-workers told me it was a must-watch and I love it! Truth be told, I am not a fan of real estate agents, but this family is hard to resist, especially the grandmother Majo!
