It’s hard to believe it’s actually December. The temperatures really dropped in Paris this week and the decorations seem to be emerging (slowly but surely). I’m very excited for this month and am trying to get as much done as possible work wise in the next two weeks and then will take some time off to start 2024. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 48 include how Christofle changed its image, an ode to the Lady Dior Bag, and a Notre Dame update. Enjoy!
