Congratulations for the nomination! Your blog is very educational, refreshing, and fun to read! The pictures are awesome. They really give me a glimpse of what it's like to live in all of those different places. I always end up wanting to travel to all of them after reading your blog, especially Paris. Your photos of the food and wine are my favourites! I can almost taste them!

For a Canadian who has been living in France for a short amount of time, this blogger sure knows how to live la belle vie in France. I always look forward to reading her posts about Paris' best-kept secrets; from the exclusive restaurants on Rue Gravilliers, to the must-see art exhibitions at the Pompidou. This blog is for anyone interested in travelling, and especially enlightening for those who want to live in France in the future.

My favorite daily distraction with little reminders about beautiful, cozy, comforting, thought-provoking things that surround us, which makes the blog equally interesting for those who are and aren't interested in Paris life. Lovely glimpses into travels and observations of an explorer of all that's keeps us going in busy lifes.

As a Parisian who has been living around the world for the past 15 years, I think that Little Pieces of Light speaks to both expats and non-expats just as well. I go to Paris very often and always can't wait to check the blog's last posts for new places to try and exhibits to see. The pics are gorgeous, the writing witty, the quotes always perfectly chosen...What a refreshing and inspirational creation that always reminds us of opening our eyes to all the happy little things around us! Congratulations for the nomination and thank you for bringing light and joy to our daily lives!

I follow this blog avidly - and always refer to it for fun places to visit and eat at when in Paris! The food recommendations are always excellent, and I love the author's musings on life and the several beautiful things in Paris. I wish I could have been in Paris to participate in the Macaroon smackdown!!!

Haven't been to Paris but I have seen a lot of interesting photos and places of interest from there. I think that the French are very bourgeois though I would kill for a bottle of beaujolais, love the selections of your simple but elegant jewelries, they are like the pyramids in front of Louvre Museum when they catch the sunlight. I remember I purchased some blue topaz from my Lebanese friend who had her holiday in Colombia similar to those displayed in your blog and big,as in huge 135 karat amethyst. You got a very fine taste congratulations! its in the blood... Hahaha

Little Pieces of Light finds the interesting angles on expatriate life in France. Covering everything from homesickness to hole-in-the wall eateries, this blog covers it all in a touching and elegant manner. When people ask me about moving to Paris or living abroad, I direct them to this blog, which gets the highs and the lows just right. It really makes everyone want to live la vie en rose. Keep up the good work!

I love this blog ! Even though I feel I know Paris quite well already, Little Pieces of Light is always a source of new discoveries and hidden gems. The food always looks so good (and looking at those pictures always makes me so hungry!), and the other pictures are always genuine "pieces of light" in my daily routine. There is a lot of poetry in the writing. This blog irradiates a gentle sort of happiness. Keep writing and I'll sure keep reading...

A refreshing stream of beautifully expressed consciousness about discoveries and experiences that each of us could be making.

Having visited Paris many times in my life and being fairly familiar with the city, I still find myself reading this blog often and learning new things. It never ceases to remind how beautiful Paris is, and all the hinden wonders that it contains. There are endless amounts of things to see and do in Paris, and this blog gives readers a little taste of what life in Paris is like. This blog does a excellent job of portraying the city for what it is. It is informative, fun, current, and easy to read! The pictures are very professional and appropriate.

Paris is one of the loveliest European cities I've visited so far, and this blog does justice to it! Beautiful photographs, and some tongue-in-cheek, humorous prose keep this blog fresh.

I lived in Paris for 10 months and I learnt about the blog about half way through my stay. I must admit it is funny to what extent an internet blog can improve your real life. My definitely favourite category was the social calendar where the author did the job for me when it came to weekend planning. Finally, I felt really sad when the post about foreign food restaurants in Paris came out after I left the city. I think I am just going to visit all of them by the list next time I am in Paris. Simply SPLENDID!!!!

A genuine pleasure to read! Been an expat my entire life, lived in 10 countries to date including Paris, and your blog has been the greatest tool to exploring Paris' true character. There is a plethora of stuff out there (travel shows, guide books, etc) all which cover the same basic things. Your approach has been refreshing. Smart, witty, romantic, poetic, beautiful...heck all the reasons why we fall in love with Paris and the French. Thanks for the laughs!

Reading Little Pieces of Light always makes me take a step back from my day to day life and dream of my next adventure. The writer has a lovely way to express (both in photos and text) their love for food, wine and life! It is hard to not walk away from reading each blog without a smile on my face!

Ivy Regina Sagudo

this blog is enlightening and informative...the entries capture the side of paris and buenos aires that are not often read in tourist guides or common write ups on the net. it showcases gastronomic finds that sound epicurean and worth every single penny. i love the fact that the blogger presents a fresh perspective on familiar sights in both cities, insights that warm the heart and pictures that entice me to hop on the next plane ride to both destinations. i've been to paris before and would certainly go back there and explore the places featured here. and buenos aires? yup, it surely is on one of the top ten places to see for me and my hubby.

Cada semana espero con emoción leer las ocurrencia de Camila. Sus detalles , sus comentarios y su manera de ver la vida es en realidad increíble. Mi primera opción cuando quiero probar algo nuevo en Paris es consultar con las recomendaciones de Little Pieces of Light y con toda sinceridad siempre son experiencias inigualables las cuales recomiendo. Comparto con la escritora el amor platónico que tiene por Paris y por eso disfruto tanto como ella y me identifico con con el blog. Sin embargo espero con ansias visitar las demás ciudades de las cuales se comentan para seguir descubriendo las maravillas de Little Pieces of Light. *** Google translated: "Each week I hope to read emotion occurrence of Camila. Your details, your comments and your way of seeing life is really amazing. My first choice when I want to try something new in Paris is to consult with the recommendations of Little Pieces of Light and always sincerely unique experiences which I recommend.

When I plan to travel, most often than not, I choose a culinary destination. I normally would consult online travel guides and check out their food haunt suggestions. What do you know? Little Pieces of Light may just be the travel guide I need for when I plan my trip to France. Being a foodie, I await with excited anticipation Camilla's Où Bruncher entries. I also check out her Ideal Social Calendars because she gives you a fairly good choice of things to do when you opt to visit Paris on a particular month. I hope she writes about Paris's famous marchés aux puces (*hint hint*) and worthy bookstores to visit. And perhaps she can sell her high-res images of the Eiffel Tower on Etsy (*another hint hint*)? I'd love to have one of them hanging on my living room wall...or in the kitchen...or in the bedroom. :)

I have been following this blog since its inception, and even today, I am still surprised by the sensibility in its writing and always welcome its invitation to a journey into arts or gastronomy. Considering myself as a core Parisian, this blog remains a source of inspiration for my day-to-day discovery of the old French capital. Please never stop, I want to be amazed again.
