Ma Friandise Favorite à La Maison du Chocolat
This month marks the beginning of my favorite time of year: marrons glacés season. Unquestionably my favorite confection, these delicious glazed chestnuts are only available from November to March. And while they originated in Italy, I discovered them in Paris and always associate them with holidays in France. Continue Reading

CommentCatching Up With The Sartorialist
It’s been a while since I’ve shared favorite photos from The Sartorialist. (Yes, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve shared much of anything. I’m working on that.) Continue Reading
Rouge Awakening #8 – Robe Rouge
I’ve had Paris on the brain lately, what with The Moment’s announcement of Jewish real estate mogul Alfred Akirov’s purchase and planned renovation of the storied Hôtel Lutetia (where I spent my birthday the last time I was in Paris), Amy Thomas’ article in this Sunday’s Times Travel Section about her impressions of a “real” Paris gleaned from her experience living her Parisian dream, and the fact that I have literally been dreaming about Paris for weeks. This morning, eking out the last of my precious store of Robe Rouge, my decision was made – it’s time to go to Paris. To stock up on tea if nothing else. Continue Reading

Since today is Winter Solstice, what could be better as today’s Advent Calendar treat than Bûche de Noël? Continue Reading
Calendar of Chaos – Day Twenty
It’s snowing and I’m thinking of hot chocolate. The best hot chocolate in the world? At Angelina in Paris. Luxuriously thick and bittersweet, their signature hot chocolate is called chocolate L’Africain. Continue Reading
Crazy for Cacharel
I fell in love with Cacharel over a floral coat I found in a Fillmore Street boutique years ago. Most people in the US are oblivious to this lovely French label, but every time I wear this coat I get raves. Whenever I go to Paris I bring back whatever I can afford at the time (last visit it was a scarf). So, imagine my delight when I discovered that Neiman Marcus is offering a small selection of Cacharel for Fall. Continue Reading
Hôtel, Je t’aime
Paris is my absolute favorite place on the planet. It’s been a while since my last trip and I miss it terribly, so I’ve been thinking that this Fall would be a good time to take a few days to visit. To stroll the blessedly tourist-light streets, have breakfast at my favorite sidewalk cafe and watch the world go by, take tea at Mariage Freres, buy ballet flats at Repetto, indulge in macarons at Ladurée and marrons glacés at Maison du Chocolat, look at modern art at the Centre Pompidou. As if the attraction of the city itself weren’t enough inducement, T Magazine introduced me to Le Pavillon des Lettres in a recent post about new boutique hotels around the world: Continue Reading
My name is Angela Eloise and I am a freelance writer. I recently moved to Seattle because I wanted a better home base to support my creative goals. And my shaman told me to. Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
