Hands up who’s in love with Paris? Well, that’s nearly all of you which makes me think it’s about time Stylejuicer brought you some Paris love.

I have to confess that although I only live two and a bit Eurostar-hours away, I’ve not been for… phew, must be 10 years by now. Shameful, I know but I’ve found you just the right person to quench your thirst for Paris:
Leela Cyd! An American travel, food and lifestyle photographer who took a trip not too long ago perfectly capturing everybody’s favourite city.

In her own words Leela was raised around a table full of artists and writers, about a block from the Pacific Ocean. So far so dreamy but wait, it gets better. Her home is in Santa Barbara, AND she gets to travel around the world for her assignments! Now, that’s what a I call a great set-up.

Today’s photo series features a mix of quintessential Parisian interiors and exteriors, culinary delights and of course the Eiffel Tower. My personal favourite is the very cute and very French apartment with it’s girlie details, white-washed beams, soft colours and beautiful upholstery. Isn’t that a bed you’d never want to get out of!?

Leela is also an incredibly entertaining writer and her food and travel blog Tea Cup Tea is a favourite of mine as well as having been awarded Saveur’s ‘Sites We Love’ last year. As the blog name suggests she loves a good cup of tea and meets friends, artists and like minded people around the world to have a chat and share a cuppa. One of which is fellow American and Paris-resident Anne Ditmeyer of Pret A Voyager who will tell you all you need to know about Paris on the blog tomorrow with some more wanderlust-inducing images.

For now, dive in to Leela’s photo story and I dare you not to buy a croissant on the way home.

PS: Leela, you can pop in for a cuppa any day!

Enjoy and I hope you’re inspired!
