After Little Miss Melbourne and I returned from two weeks in Paris earlier this year, I became addicted to Roobios tea infused with vanilla. Having drunk almost as much of the stuff as red wine in Paris, I was shattered to discover on my return that it’s a bit harder to come by in Australia. I’ve gone all winter without it, and then today, completely by accident, I stumbled upon some in my local Coles.

Now it’s not as good as the French variety, but it’s incredible how one whiff of the stuff can place me right back in our apartment in Saint Germain, sipping tea while it snows lightly outside. Magic.

It started me thinking about other things from Paris that I miss, one of them being Kasia, the wonderful handbag designer we met on our travels. She has just launched her latest range of bags, and now we are lucky enough to be able to buy them in Australia (easily, unlike Roobios tea!).

Check out some of her gorgeous designs and the new colours! And of course the amazing Parisian background….
