Bonjour!
Wow! What a week it’s been - the release of Your Essential Guide to Paris and a brand-new website! Two gigantic launches, which I highly recommend NEVER doing again at the same time. lol. I am so thankful for my husband, who knows the backend of a website and all things tech-related, or I would be crying in my champagne somewhere.
MERCI Beaucoup to everyone who has bought a guide! It truly means a great deal, and I am always grateful for all the ways you all support La Vie on Grand. I feel incredibly thankful for each of you. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought five years ago that I would be here doing this. It just goes to show that perseverance, hard work, and following your heart are essential in whatever you do.
La Vie On Grand.com has also had a complete redesign. It needed a refresh and to be elevated a bit. We are still working out several quirks, and I assume we will be over the next few weeks. I appreciate your patience as you navigate the new site. Change takes time.
One week from today, we will be in Paris! It will be a race up until the minute we leave, but all that matters is we will be in Paris! Can’t wait to take you all along with us ;)
Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend,
Noelani
Favorites of the week
I love an ecru woven bag for the season, and if you also like, here are two- this gorgeous one from Dragon Diffusion and this budget-friendly one from Madewell.
I’ve added a few new French-inspired finds to my Amazon shop: this look-alike designer-inspired bag, this fun scarf, and this eyelet dress.
Speaking of Amazon, I had to order several things for our trip. A new jewelry organizer (I needed one to hold necklaces), an XL insert for my carry-on bag, a new sleep mask (I lost my other one), and I treated myself to new Sony Noise Canceling Headphones for completing the Paris Guide.
Alex Mill is having a sale! They rarely do sales, so you have to take advantage of them. Here’s what to buy: this dress, this stripe top (I own a small), & these pants.
FRAME is having a MAJOR summer sale! An extra 30% off! Love this top, and this one. This dress is so chic, my navy blouse ( I wear size M), and this sweater.

What’s Happening Over on the NEW La Vie On Grand
I bought the Guide and the map doesn’t work . I sent a note about that but re wives no response. Please advise.
I love the new blog! Congratulations! You certainly have a lot on your plate now (if not before!).
Both the blog and newsletter are welcomed with open arms. For those of us who are genuine francophiles, this is great stuff! Merci bien de ton travaille!
