Spring is starting to show here and there.  The sun peeks through the clouds every now and again which is quite satisfying. You can feel the energy around you escalate as the sun pops down some rays. People smile more and glow with happiness.

The highlights of this week for me were new clogs and wandered the 9th district (a.k.a. obsessions #1 and #2: clogs and wandering, by default I was a happy camper). Not to mention the fact that Anne had given me a delicious jam as a housewarming gift a few months back… and I had been meaning to stop by the shop to get some more… and I finally managed to stumble upon it: La Chambre Aux Confitures, on rue des Martyrs. Boy did that make me smile. Jam and honey galore in this little treasure shop. Strawberry and champagne jam…? How can you resist it?!

Another adorable place I had never been to before this week is La Classe. A vintage school-room-themed restaurant and bar (FYI they have amazing happy hour deals !). It’s worth a peek. Sit and enjoy the old maps and adorable déco. My friend Ana raved about it and I was just dying to check it out.
