It’s been such a fun week having my mom and sister visiting. We’ve gotten a lot done and it’s been nice to relax and play tourist in Paris for a bit as well. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 19 include a look at the new Martha Stewart for Baccarat collection, a list of 12 stunning French castles, a wonderful guide to Paris from a Chanel parfumer and a look inside the Pierre Frey owners’ homes. Enjoy!
