For the first time in a while the 10-day forecast in Paris shows full sun. Spring is definitely just around the corner and it’s exciting to watch the city “wake up” from the winter. I unfortunately won’t be here for most of next week to soak up this incredible weather, but I am very excited to head south for work. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 12 include a look at the Dior Gallery in the recently reopened flagship store, a look at a spectacular hotel on the Côte d’Azur, and a list of French skincare brands to try. Enjoy!
