A Tale of Two Chic Cities: Paris versus New York

11/22/2010

 
This weekend while catching up on one of my favorite blogs, Lanalou Style, I came across another stylish and clever site that I just had to share with you...
Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities!

Paris versus New York is an amusing and beautiful website where the graphic designer, Vahram Muratyan, has juxtaposed two fantastic cities through creative illustrations and references to pop culture. 

As a New Yorker I am always interested in anything that pertains to the beloved city that I call home, but for years I have also had a fondness for this other timelessly chic city. 

In fact, my best friends and I even made a pact that when we all turned 30 we would treat ourselves to a trip to Paris to celebrate this landmark birthday.  Unfortunately a few years later, a trip to Paris is not in the cards for us, but we still laugh and dream about the day when we will be able to afford our luxe ladies trip to the grand City of Light!

In the meantime, we all can get a dose of Parisian art and humor by checking out Paris versus New York.  The illustrations and captions on this site are so creative! 

Here are just a few of my favorites...

And the good news is that Paris versus New York is now selling select prints at their new online shop!

Can you guess which one will be on my holiday wish list this year? 

The l'obsession cupcake and macaroon print is definitely calling my name! 

Which one is your favorite?

That is so cool! I love the prints, but oddly enough last week I was in Paris for the first time and I couldn't stop comparing it to New York. I said that if all the buildings were about 3 times taller than it would be the same! Really cool post.

What a fun collection of prints! It definitely brings me back to my days in France and love for NYC and Paris.

p.s. Loving the French rap :)

How about a home swap with a Parisian family or couple?! We went to Paris at Christmas two years ago and stayed in a beautiful 2 bedroom flat in the 17th Arrondissement!
