From 20 of the most charming little shopfronts:
or, 10 places to have un cafe in Paris:
I can vouch for this one, I spent a delightful afternoon here with my kids a few years ago.
I am, as they say, ensorcelled.

How have I been around so long and not known about MessyNessy ("Blogging on the offbeat, the unique, and the chic")?? I have fallen deep into a gorgeous rabbit hole of charming storefronts, tiny little backstreet shops, funky cafes... well, just take a look.

Some interesting links I've found lately (I've been putting some on the Quotidienne FB page, but not everyone sees them):
✚The Spring-Autumn Project by the artist Qozop, who switched the outfits of younger/older pairs of relatives in a really lovely photo montage. There is also a nice article by Amanda Lee Koe about the exhibit.
✚35 profiles of fabulous gentlewomen.
✚17 Feel-Good French Films you should stream on Netflix (via French Girl in Seattle)
✚Terrific blog post by Garance Doré about women/ageing/fashion and how the problems is not one-sided. Who is imposing standards on whom? Sales go down when clothing is shown on older models. How do we get ourselves out of this particular feedback loop?
✚Everyone seems to be talking about T Magazine's essay about Phoebe Philo and "Quiet Power Dressing" (I had kind of hoped that "power dressing" was dead and buried, but apparently not).

Old Movie Love
I just couldn't resist posting this video from gizmodo about Criterion Films. They're doing such amazing work restoring movies, and this is all about one of my favorites, Hitchcock's 1940 Foreign Correspondent.
they were in the process of restoring Alfred Hitchcock's 1940 espionage thriller,Foreign Correspondent. In the video above, Kline talks about how the first step in the process is tracking down the negative, or a print, that is in decent condition. In this case, that meant going to the Library of Congress, which had the original negative of the film.
