Quai de Bourbon

Posted on September 8th, 2010 in Boutique, Fashion, Paris, Shopping

The Quai de Bourbon is one of my favorite places in Paris. In the heart of the city of lights on the Ile Saint Louis it opens upon a breathtaking view on the banks of the Seine and the Hotel de Ville. Not only is the Quai de Bourbon home to the most coveted real estate in the city (if not the world) but it’s also the home of my dear friend Samantha. I love the walk across the river from my place, strolling over the Point Marie on my way to Chez Sam. Here she is once again so kindly lending her classic beauty as a model for the Bardot Boutique. It is no wonder how my favorite Lebanese blonde got her looks…her Swedish grandmother was Miss World!

I hope you enjoyed the view from a stroll on the Quai de Bourbon with our darling little host Samantha. If you like her dress, which I have fittingly named the Quai de Bourbon Dress you are in luck! This vintage treasure of impeccable quality is available in the Bardot Boutique. I imagine it as the perfect dress to transition from summer into fall. As the weather cools off the bright orange tone will brighten up your day while fitting with an autumn palette. Pair it with a loose little sweater and scarf along with some little booties and you will be the prettiest and chicest lady in town! Shop the Bardot Boutique and take a piece of Paris home with you while showing your support for the blog! As always sending you love from Paris and looking forward to your sweet comments…

P.S. I recently gifted a little Chanel embellished boater hat from the Bardot Boutique to my blog friend Valentine. Check out her adorable blog to see some cute pics of her with it!

Carnival

Posted on August 16th, 2010 in Boutique, Fashion, Les Bons Plans, Paris

In the summer there is a carnival in the Tuileries gardens at the heart of Paris. I never really have been one for such events, they always creeped me out a bit to be honest but something about this Parisian version was not at all creepy and incredibly charming and fun. Mademoiselle Samantha and I played around a bit and felt like kids again! Here’s some photos of the action. It took me a long time to decide what song to include with this post but I finally decided since Samantha and I are both California girls to throw this petite chanson in there…just click play!

Looks like fun, non? Samantha and I dressed accordingly for the occasion in some outfits I picked out! Her blue frou frou fiesta dress and my carnival chemise are your’s to own in the Bardot Boutique! Go shop and support Bardot in Blue before someone else scoops them up!

P.S. I absolutely adore each and every one one of your sweet comments!
