With the Olympics opening in Paris today, all eyes are on the City Of Lights. I look forward to watching the athleticism of all the participating athletes from every country. And I am sure we all will be treated to the sights and sounds of Paris, while doing so. Today's wrap up is all about Paris and France. Not a bad theme. Oui?

Ormaie Paris: Maison of Haute Parfumerie. This fragrance design house is new to me, and the bottles caught my eye. The fragrances are made of exceptional natural ingredients. You owe it to yourself to look at the collection. One bottle is more gorgeous than the next.

Chanel: What could be more Parisian than Chanel? I wanted to share a stylish source for pre-owned vintage Chanel pieces. You can trust WGACA

Oh Julia! Could anyone be more quintessentially French than chef Julia Child? Add her Leather Bound Book "Mastering The Art Of French Cooking" to your collection. It deserves a place of honor in every chef's kitchen. A great gift.
