French obsessions

Surprise, surprise. Guess what?
French girls have a lot of the same obsessions as we do.
Yes
they adore our cupcakes. And yes they put a wonderful spin on them that makes them presque unrecognizable...
Bagels? Oui!
I have to drag over 12 sesame bagels to French girl from NYC. Who'd a thunk it?
SJP? Mad about the girl. They can NOT get enough of Sara. I saw an Elle post that SJP wore the same shoes to 4 events! They care more than we do peut-etre? Scarlett, another French obsession -can't get enough. Gossip girl? Fahgettaboutit! They LURVE her.
They are every bit as crazily obsessed with losing weight as we are. How do I know this? I hang out at the Relay in the train station. You can read all the mags to your hearts content and even take pics!
J'adore le Relay!
They love our coke. But regarde!
I would drink coca too if Karl was on it - so chic.
And a silhouette to boot.

They adore l'iPad aussi...
Et les chiens... Hello Kitty? Surement ouiThe obssession to make DIY macarons has become universal. But who offers a box with kitchen thermometer and a pastry bag? The French do that's who. I know because I bought this set for all of 12 euros at the musee Arts Decoratif of all places.
Even though the French don't want you to take pictures...
They are out there shooting just like us.
Loving chocolates is a universal, but who makes the best chocolat?
The Eiffel Tower belongs to all of us. Do you know Australian photographer Carla Coulson living in Paris? She has a new book out, Paris Tango full of her gorgeous Paris photos. Do drop by her blog, Carla Loves Photography.
