One of my favorite things to do while I lived in Paris was to wander around the fashion district of the golden triangle looking at the window displays. The magnificent dazzling eye candy could make any dull Paris day seem brighter. From the clothes on display to the stories told by the windows, I could […]

My Back Shed, French Style in Oakville
I am finally back in France, and was just itching to come back! As much as I love being in Canada surrounded by family and friends, there is something that I always miss about Europe. If you feel the same way about Europe as I do but can’t make the trip over to France, look […]
The Passages of Paris
One of my favorite things to do in Paris is to visit the hidden passages throughout the city. Developed between the late 18th century and the mid-19th century, these covered pedestrian walkways haven’t changed much since their opening so many years ago. Once you step inside these passages, you will be transported back in time […]
Window Shopping in Paris

Alexis Mabielle Holiday Windows!
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! I left Paris and traveled back home to Canada for my holidays. However, I was still in France long enough to enjoy some of the European Christmas traditions.

Italian Window Shopping
While in Italy a couple of weeks ago, I was strolling around the streets of Venice doing one of my favorite past times… window shopping! The jewelry in Venice was amazing. There were many different styles and designs that I had never seem before. The glass beads from Murano were fabulous and the flower necklaces […]
Shopping along Champs Elysees and l’avenue Montaigne
Today I decided to take a break from my jewelry making and hit the Paris streets to do a little shopping. What better place to go for shopping then Champs Elysees! Truthfully, I usually just end up window shopping especially along l’avenue Montaigne… a girl can dream right!? Starting at the Arc de Triophme I […]
Paris Fashion
Yesterday I went to Rue de Rivoli to visit my favorite English bookstore, WH Smith. I go there about once a month to treat myself to a new magazine. Since they are about 7 Euros each, I limit myself to one. British Fashion magazines are so much better than Canadian ones. You always get free […]
