- “Sipping from my cheeky mug never fails to start my morning off with a smile. The charming sayings and witty phrases are a delightful pick-me-up to go along with my coffee.”

- “Even on the most hectic days, grabbing my favourite cheeky Frenchified mug full of amazing rich flavourful latte made with Italian robusta coffee beans helps me keep perspective (with a smile and a laugh). I might have bought this for myself, but it feels like having a certain someone’s playful sense of humor right there with me.”

Plus size clothing rental in Paris
Searching for Plus Size Clothing Rental?
Are you heading to Paris for a special occasion but don’t have the budget to buy something fabulous and fashionable to wear on your special day?
Don’t despair!
I can’t guarantee you’ll find clothing to fit, but I can offer some suggestions:
- rent something before you leave home and head to Paris; depending on the length of your stay, this might be a cost-effective solution if you’re only going for a few days
- check out the Plus Size stores in Paris – ONLINE – and look for the “sales” (called “SOLDES” in French); you may find something suitable so contact the store via email or social, and start a conversation. You’ll be able to book and pay online – but I’d rather pay a small deposit until I could try something on in my hotel room or their store in Paris. Sign up for the Newsletters for each site so you’ll know when the Sales are on.

- Bocage.fr – Shoe Rental in Paris – €29 per month, with a two-month commitment. €34 per month in winter. 36 participating boutiques.
It might be hard to believe but there ARE a couple of places in the City of Love and Light where you can rent clothing and accessories
At this time I do not know whether they have any Plus Size, but it’s worth a visit or a phone call while you’re in Paris.
