Chloe’s birthday party continues and tonight is the party with her friends!
I went with 16 candles theme for the tablescape and for the party decor, Shane and I blew up 100+ balloons last night to make the balloon arch that matched the color of Chloe’s dress. It took us over three hours and I couldn’t have done it without Shane’s help! Thank you, son!!!
Once again we beat the crowd by going to the Louvre on Thursday evening. There was hardly any wait to see even the Mona Lisa so this time, I lingered littler and took my time a bit. I even went back for the second time. This is my third time visiting this museum and I always leave feeling I needed more time to observe and admire everything… But I’m so glad I got to share this experience with Chloe.
This morning, I had a breakfast reservation at Le Meurice but we woke up late and missed our reservation time. We got there 45 min late and had no luck getting in… even though we only saw two tables being occupied, they didn’t want to bother trying to squeeze us in…
Disappointed but I tried to shake it off and had a breakfast back at our hotel in Westin (which was still delicious but lacked the decor I wanted), then headed out to explore the city, But first, more photos in the terrace, of course! 😉
It’s been a long day but we got through it beautifully! We even had more dessert (From Angelina’s) back in the hotel in bed. 🙂 Good night Paris. Cant wait to see more of you tomorrow!
We had amazing 5 course dinner with wine to celebrate our first night! Even though it was supposed to be 5 course dinner, with chef’s special pre-starters and in-between palate cleanser, bread variety, and complimentary desserts, we felt like we had about 8 or 9 plates of food. Our dinner lasted about 2.5 hours and it was so intimate and special to share it with my girl.
Our room was finally ready at 3pm so we came back to our hotel, organized our belongings, and freshened up to get ready to go to a dinner. We have amazing views from our three terraces and couldn’t miss the opportunity to do a little photoshoot before heading out again!
After the visit to the museum, we walked around Saint-Germain-des-Prés and visited some pretty boutiques.
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
