Les Oiseaux et Louis Vuitton

Posted on March 31st, 2010 in Decor, Fashion

I know birds are a big trend right now in both fashion and decor, but when I passed the window displays at various Louis Vuitton throughout France recently, I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe my new lamp inspired them. Click play to enjoy the famous Bird’s Lament by Moondog…

I considered purchasing this lamp for quite some time before I gave in. I thought to myself…how often do I come across a lamp of all things that I really adore? Not to mention I saw it every time I left my place as it hung in the window of the store on the ground floor of my building.

The colors of the bags and the sunglasses they feature amongst the birds and cages have the same bright colors of tropical birds. I just adore the duffle on the left.

This hook on my ceiling had been naked since I moved in…it was just begging for something cute to go there. And yes…there is a big blurry spot in the middle of this picture because I photoshopped out the ugly plug I haven’t yet figured out how to take care of!

Good thing these adorable sandals are locked up in a cage or I would have snatched them.

Throughout the lamp, mixed with the bigger birds there are cute little tiny ones perched in clusters that look as if they are chatting to one another.

Perfect design for illuminating such fabulous goods.

I only hope my next apartment will have such beautiful ceilings to go with my lamp.

This picture was at the little petit Louis Vuitton in Saint Tropez.

I noticed some other bloggers mention this lamp so I wanted to share my take on it as well as all the bird inspired displays at Louis Vuitton. I have been so busy these past two weeks it has been hard to get all the photos for the blog here that I would like but I am still trying to keep up with my reader’s appetites! I want to give a special thank you to Charmaine at Beautiful Things to Share for featuring some of my photos with a kind shout out to me! I was so honored and flattered to be mentioned by her stunningly beautiful blog. As usual thank you to all those who stop by and especially those that comment! I live for your comments, they are food to my soul and to hear everyone’s kind words is so encouraging…especially for a young blog like my Bardot in Blue here! A bientot!

Bardot in Pink

Posted on March 22nd, 2010 in Fashion

The sun and warmer weather have finally arrived in Paris. It was like one day we just woke up, and winter was over. Cafe terraces are alive again during these milder evenings and spring wardrobes are slowly but surely seeing daylight again. I recently got a few new things to freshen up my style for the weather. It seems like this year’s spring fashion trends are right up my alley, with lots of feminine pieces and soft beautiful colors as well as platform shoes. I recently found the cutest new store in the Marais called Suncoo where I got this dress and a few other adorable things I can’t wait to share with you. I will be sure to add Suncoo to My Paris guide. I am also adding a new feature to my posts, music! Click play, listen, read, relax…

My favorite part of the dress is the back. The tiered layers drape and flow in the breeze, and at the top there is an adorable scalloped detail.

It  has these pretty layers in the front as well.

The  front is adorned with this opaque ivory colored jewel collar. Here I am wearing an antique ivory bow I found at the Port de Vanves flea market for five euros. I strung a silver chain through it to wear it as a necklace.

Admiring my new shoes here…

I was beginning to worry that all my blog readers might think I only owned one pair of shoes! All my outfit posts thus far I have been wearing my favorite Chie Mahari russian doll booties (a name I gave them). Those booties were a life saver this winter, however I do own more than one pair of shoes! These are a new pair I got last week by one of my favorite brands Cosmo Paris. They make adorable and affordable shoes and each season have tons of styles you can find at Printemps. I love the patten leather because I don’t have to worry about wearing them out in spring showers.

The wedge heel is also very comfortable.

The dress has the pretty detail around the bottom as well. You can see the cute but subtle little hearts on my favorite Tabio stockings.

The wood heel on the new platforms are quite loud when I walk though!

What are your favorite trends for spring fashion this year? Happy spring time!
