Rainbow Bright

Posted on July 30th, 2010 in Fashion, Gourmandise

I did my best to get some snappers of my recent D.I.Y. rainbow manicure along with none other than Pierre Hermé macarons brought to me by a certain very handsome young frenchmen. They didn’t turn out as well as I would have liked but I think the point comes across. Anyone else tried out this look lately? I think it’s so fun for summer…

Now I am off to Provence for a couple days! Hope your weekend is as bright and cheery as this manicure!

P.S. If you are looking for more inspiration you know where to find it…

Les Palaces vus Par André

Posted on July 25th, 2010 in Fashion, Les Bons Plans, Shopping

Les Palaces vus par André is the latest theme for Printemps‘ always amazing window displays. The idea behind Les Palaces is to capture behind the glass the glamorous life: what it’s like to be a young, rich, famous, fashionable, jet-setter checking into all the best hotels.  Each display features a selected “it girl” photographed in one of Paris’ finest places to stay and all the fabulous fashion she would of course have to bring along with her…

Sky Ferreira & Trianon Palace

Summer Showers

Posted on July 22nd, 2010 in Fashion

I love summer storms. Growing up, I spent many summer vacations off the White River in Arkansas riding jet skis, water skiing, swimming, and taking late evening barge rides out on the bay. As much fun as that was I was never bummed when one of those southern summer storms rolled in with thunder, lightning, torrential rain, and the occasional funnel cloud! I find storms as exciting now as I did then. Last week we got quite a few coming through France. As fun as storms can be, they can also be a real drag when it comes to planning your wardrobe! This winter I picked up these Chanel rain boots to make sure I always looked stylish no matter what the weather conditions. As if I didn’t like a good rainy day enough before, now I look forward to them even more as an excuse to wear my boots.

I have been feeling a bit down lately so I am sorry if my blog posts are not as fun and exciting as usual. I have been sick for almost a week now with a horrible ear ache! Meanwhile I have work assignments coming in and still trying to get my work visa sorted out which is the worst of all taking its toll on me. Luckily there seems to finally be a light at the end of the tunnel for me as I have found an excellent immigration lawyer that is going to help with everything. Sending love to all of you from Paris and hoping that your summer is being filled with far off places, beaches, parties, relaxation, and minimal rain showers! Which top 3 places would be your choice for cheap holidays destinations?  Let me know…I am hoping to get in another trip in before summer ends!

P.S. If that didn’t do the trick for you there is always new stuff hanging in the Inspiration Gallery…
