miss dior, i miss paris.

i saw this on TV last night:


what's crazy is paris really is as charming and lovely as it appears in movies and thrives in my imagination. *sigh* tu me manques!

turns out the commercial is directed by sofia coppola. no wonder. meanwhile, flickr and google earth make it tantalizingly easy to trapse along boulevard saint michel and visit the marché maubert (albeit without the rest of its sensory delights) while i'm stuck in this salt lake city storm.







































photos via Mr. Tang's flickr. above is Kaese, an amazing cheese shop right in the square where marché maubert is held every tuesday, thursday and saturday. i wish i'd written down the cheese that the man recommended when i explained that i'm american and am not well versed in cheeses. he was handsome. and the cheese was incroyable!
