Ever wish you could escape to Paris — even just for a morning? Join Suite Escape us for coffee and travel to Paris on an entirely different level.
Rebecca Plotnick has built a life around that feeling. A photographer, entrepreneur, and founder of Everyday Parisian, Rebecca turned a 2008 layoff into a creative turning point, picking up her camera, capturing the quiet poetry of Paris, opening an Etsy shop, and eventually launching her beloved lifestyle brand in 2016. What began as photography grew into a global community devoted to French style, travel, and the art of noticing beauty in everyday life.
Rooted in curiosity and imagination, Rebecca’s philosophy, “Everything is possible” , is about perspective: seeing the world with fresh eyes and designing a life filled with meaning. Her authentic aesthetic has led to collaborations with brands including Sézane, Pottery Barn, J.Crew, Frank & Eileen, and Tuckernuck all reflect her mission to make Parisian sensibility feel accessible, not aspirational.
Over coffee, Rebecca will share the story behind building Everyday Parisian, trusting creative instinct, and discovering how one small “what if?” can open the door to a more joyful, beautiful life. A little Parisian daydreaming included, because Paris is always a good idea.
Over coffee, Rebecca will explore:
Turning passion into a business - how photography and a love of Paris became a respected lifestyle brand
Becoming your own kind of expert - transforming curiosity into meaningful brand partnerships
Living beautifully in the everyday - simple perspective shifts that invite more creativity and joie de vivre
