I Left My Heart in Provence ~ Part Three

Posted on May 7th, 2010 in Fashion, Travel

My last post about Gordes was just getting so long when I was selecting the photos I decided to split it up in two and share my outfit with you in the second post. I love dressing in Provence. I never feel pressured to be fancy or show off, I just want to wear simple pretty feminine clothes and feel natural. No makeup necessary either. I never want to look too modern when I am here amongst so much history. This white dress is a staple of my provencal wardrobe. My petit copin Pierre (yes I moved to Paris and found a French boyfriend named Pierre, hehe) took these photos among many others for this blog I must say. He is very talented, and so sweet and patient in support of my blog. It was fun to pose in the wind in this white dress as it has a bit of the seven year itch factor as you can see, which make for some nice photos. Anyhow this outfit was perfect for this day…flirty, comfortable, pretty, and natural.

Be I am thinking about doing something with my hair! Nothing major but just a bit different…maybe some retro Brigitte Bardot inspired bangs? What do you think? Any ideas, I would love to hear your advice! Also be sure to check out the new images in the Inspiration Gallery!

Wardrobe Inspiration & Blog Award

Posted on April 26th, 2010 in Fashion, Gourmandise

Paris really is a very colorful city. Ironically, Parisian’s favorite color seems to be black when it comes to their wardrobes. As a colorful girl from California, I tend to stick out from the rest of the crowd daring to wear not just one color but even two at a time! *Gasp! Quelle horreur* I am so inspired by all the beautiful colors, including that delicious Ladurée green. Just the sight of it makes my mind wander with thoughts of sinking my jaws into some delicate and delicious little pastries. I get a lot of emails and from readers saying how much you love the Ladurée posts, so don’t worry there is plenty to go around. Today Ladurée green is my wardrobe inspiration. What’s better than mixing my two favorite passions? Gourmandises and fashion!

If I look a bit too happy in these pictures it’s because I took them in the morning on my way out the door to work. I was trying extra hard to look awake as I am not a morning person…hehe. Now! To some other very important things. Many thanks to the amazing fashion blog Harlequin’s Party and the incredibly sweet lifestyle blog Diamonds and Tulle for the darling blog awards they bestowed upon me. I am truly honored!

Playing at Palais Royal

Posted on April 7th, 2010 in Fashion, Paris

After seven days of rain on Monday the sun finally came out in Paris! Even though I still had homework to finish, Samantha and I decided it was just too pretty to keep ourselves cooped up inside. We thought it would be fun to take some pics for the blog at the Palais Royal and Sam impressed with me her photography skills. She took to my SLR like a natural and is now considering purchasing the same one. Don’t forget to press play…

Here is my BEAUTIFUL photographer! We actually went to the Palais Royal to take pictures of her for my upcoming Bardot Boutique as she is my official model. You can see why! No photoshopping required! I can’t wait to share all the adorable pictures I took of her for the launch of the online shop soon!

It was one of the first warmer days but Parisians haven’t realized yet so we were one of the two only people wearing spring time attire! I find many Parisians don’t remove their black wool coats until June 1st despite the temperature.

Sitting was the easy part…

Standing up on the pillars in these shoes without falling was a bit more difficult. I also debuted some new Tabio tights I have been saving for spring. They have little blue and coral polka dots.

This is another wardrobe item that stays inside all winter as the light color doesn’t work well with winter soot and moisture. I saved up and took the plunge last year and bought this bag. It is the most expensive thing I have ever bought yet completely free of buyers remorse as I know it is a classic I will care for so I can wear it for years. I knew that the usual black Chanel bag was just not for me, nor some fun but hard to wear color, so the season they released this beautiful pinky nude I knew my time had come.

I matched my platforms to my purse.

These are made by Cosmo, one of my favorite shoe brands and sections in Printemps shoes as I know I can always find something trendy but affordable and good quality from them.

I bought this little one-sie last year in the West Village of New York with my sister. The label is Fremont. I almost walked away and didn’t get it but I am so glad I did!

These Max Mara over the knee socks kept my legs warm all winter but now they get a bit more fashion forward look for spring.

Some people were staring at us the whole time wondering what we were doing…clearly they don’t understand blogging.

I always want to share more outfit posts with my readers but being such a busy girl it’s hard to find the time to pin down someone to take some pictures for me! Sam is so nice though and has offered to lend her skills to the blogging cause in the future so I suspect you will be seeing some more of what I am wearing around Paris. That’s all for today but before I go I want to say a special thank you to one of my favorite blogging fashionistas Silje for the Beautiful Blogger Award she gave me over on her incredibly stylish blog! Silje travels the world working in fashion and her style is a must see. À bientôt mes cheries!
