A few changes here....

No, you're not seeing things...


I made a few changes here at the English Muse! I REALLY changed the fonts and went back to two columns. I ditched my old template for Blogger's standard issue Simple format. I'm trying to get my page to load faster. I hope this helps! Let me know what you think!

Thoughts and Prayers



I've been thinking so much this weekend about the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. More than 1,000 people are confirmed dead and more than 10,000 are missing. Parts of the country have very little electricity and no water supply. People need food, blankets and shelter.

I've been trying to figure out the best way to donate to the relief efforts. Philanthropy.com has a good list of charities that are responding. HERE'S THE LINK if you're interested in giving too.

Parisian Chic : A Style Guide


The new edition of Lonny magazine has a fantastic feature on Ines de le Fressange's book, Parisian Chic: A Style Guide. It's due out on April 5th. I'm pre-ordering on Amazon!

It reminds me, though, I really need a Paris fix.
