A romantic style

When I think of Romantic style the first city that comes to my mind is Paris, the cafes, the arquitecture, the music, ahh the flea markets, the delicate embroidery, the furniture...I can't even begin to enumerate all the details that make the french such an influetial style French By Design A beautiful budoir Linens displayed artfully This book is a feast for the eyes. Romantic Homes is one of my favorite magazines, I have a collection and is such a good inspiration resourse, but this issue I would say is my favorite of all, is an invitation and a little tour to Paris, home of prominent designers that invite us to visit their graceful interiors, and a walk through the flea markets, where we can also enjoy a good cafe aut lait.

Coffee - cafe

The coffee is my favorite drink, black, robust, or smooth, with creme, aut lait, cortadito, expresso, for me, and my country of origin the afternnon tea is more the afternoon coffee, as well as the first drink in the mornings. No matter where if in a Parisian cafe, a tapas bar in Barcelona, a Dallas coffee spot, or a visit to the eje cafetero I have to have my coffee...yes it has to be Colombian coffee.
