La Vie en Rose

Posted on April 12th, 2010 in Nature, Paris

When the weather is as pretty as this Spring is starting off I feel a bit like I am seeing the world through rose colored glasses.  The last thing I want to do is lock myself up inside so every free minute I have I spend in the open air. On sunny warm days mes amies and I love lounging on the Champ de Mars next to school with some music and a bottle of wine. Time to press play…

I found a beautiful little cherry blossom tree that still had its blossoms hiding at the side of the park. All the other trees are finally getting their green leaves back now.

I got this adorable new hat at a charming little shop in the Marais last week. In French this bowler shape is called a melon! My melon is a beautiful rosey pink.

Seeing the world through rose colored heart shaped glasses here…

I made this cameo ring the other day and took some pictures of it amongst the blossoms. I will soon be selling this ring and similar styles in many colors in the upcoming Bardot Boutique.

Mademoiselle Sofia looking beautiful in my new hat.

The flowers are so delicate…if you pick them they start dying within the hour.

Oui, c’est moi.

I wanted to take some of these beautiful branches home with me but I knew if I did they wouldn’t last long and thought it better to leave them there for the rest of the passers by to enjoy.

It seems like all over Paris is blooming in shades of pink.

I actually found this beautiful pink tree in Montmartre later this weekend.

And there it is…my version of the Eiffel Tower in pink in all its glory! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and get off to a great start this week seeing la vie en rose…

Casual Friday

Posted on April 9th, 2010 in Fashion

Thank goodness it’s Friday. Best of all I got a cute cute new shirt to wear and some good plans! Two classes, then a free afternoon hopefully on the Champ de Mars because it is very sunny right now, and then seeing Mélanie Laurent in a play with my petit copin tonight. It’s going to be a good day. If you want to get pumped up for the weekend this is the anthem…

My new shirt is from none other than my favorite Suncoo that I talk about all the time! I’m also rocking this retro side swept hair lately, what do you think?

These jeans are by The Kooples and they are a light wash with a pretty slightly pink tint to them. The comfy and airy boyfriend fit and the color is perfect for spring.

It has a pretty woven pattern and then drapes down the arm.

I got this clutch for my birthday from my mom It’s vintage 60’s and comes from a very very very cool and accomplished friend of ours. I hope all her success will carry on to me through this bag!

I’ve got some spring time polish on, Miami Peach by Chanel.

This shirt is so soft you have no idea. I am a sucker for soft materials, which is why my place is filled with faux fur pillows and blankets.

Sofia got a bunch of studs which we have been miscellaneously placing on items including my jeans here.

These shoes are by LF and studded in gold and silver. So cool and super comfortable they were a great buy and are on their last leg now…no pun intended.

Yes, I really am that excited it is finally the weekend. Some weeks are just harder than others…

We Own the Night

Posted on January 27th, 2010 in Les Bons Plans

Back a couple weeks ago in California, after coveting my sister’s new camera I decided to invest in my own Canon SLR. I am yet to take the time to master all the settings and techniques but my lack of programming efforts are producing some interesting results. Here are some cool shots that play with the light I got from last week’s nightlife at On Cherche Encore and the AUP B2S Party.

Sofia wore her adorable new Rodarte for Go International leopard mini dress. I am currently coveting it and will have to borrow it soon.
