Daydreaming

This morning I read this article in the NY Times about Paris and I can't help daydreaming about strolling down the little Parisian alleys, holding hands with Balazs and enjoying a coffee with nutella crepe in one of the little local bistros. Aww..what a dream! Darlings, what are you daydreaming about today? xoxo

P.S: More Paris here

Fashion Trend: French Beret

Oh la la! I'm smitten with those fabulous ladies wearing classic French berets. I wish I could look as stylish each day! Dears, are you brave enough to wear a beret? Would you like to? xoxo

Paris In Rain

How is it that Paris looks even more romantic in rain? This is probably the only city where I could embrace the rain. I would just jump into my flats, pin my hair in a messy bun and stroll along those quiet-rainy streets while holding one of those bright umbrellas! Don't you love the sound of rain? xoxo

Ps: Also, this morning Monica posted this Paris video. I promise you, after watching it, you will be more in love with this city than ever before. Fancy moving there right now? (giggle)

Coeur a la Creme

Delicious cream hearts & raspberry sauce? What a sweet idea for a Valentine's Day party or a dinner! Great way to surprise your Love with something special (and very French). My sweets, what are your plans for this Valentine's day? Do you celebrate it with your husband, boyfriend, partner or maybe with a group of friends? Just curious:) xoxo 

P.S: Recipe for Coeur a la Creme.

Paris, 1962

I'm in such a Parisian mood after swooning over these photos by Tom Palumbo. The whole series consists of images from Paris cafés and nightlife in 1962. They capture the essence of a different era, creating a mood of romance and intimacy. Loves, fancy a slice of Paris today? xoxo

P.S: More Paris here!

I'm A Parisian Lady

A French photographer created a series called I'm a Parisian lady where he only photographed 100% born and raised Parisians and the results are incredible! For me, those photos not only represent each girl's personal style but also a way of life. Darlings, what do you think? xoxo

Paris After Dark

Smita went to Paris a few months ago and she recently posted these photos of this romantic city after dark. How special would it feel to take a walk through those lit little alleys right now? xoxo

Destination: Paris

The other day I was browsing through Parisian rental properties and I found this sweet one bedroom apartment located in the most amazing part of Paris- Montmartre. I adore the idea of walking downstairs and finding yourself in the middle of that busy Parisian chaos!

The place is so charming with all the warm tones and dark wooden floors. Is it just me or old wooden floors with squeaky noises are so unique?

I could just image myself sitting at that dining table sipping coffee, eating a croissant and having that view...of Eiffel Tower and every famous monument in the Parisian skyline.
Sounds like a plan!

Darlings, are you planning anymore trips this summer?

Hugs,
xoxoxo

Je t'aime...

One of my favourite French designers, Vanessa Bruno is opening her first U.S. store in Los Angeles this August and her UK store in London in September. I can't wait to visit! I am smitten with Vanessa's gathered shoulder shirts....They are so feminine :)

Mademoiselle

How did you enjoy your Easter weekend? We had a blast! This Easter was all about French food, music and wine....lots of wine:)
To continue with my Parisian chic, I would love to share this beautiful photo of Magdalene who embodies everything French. She does the just-rolled-out-of-bed sexiness to perfection. The tied belt, loose hair bun and lingerie top. Perfection!!! And don’t get me started on her amazing farmers’ basket...

Are You ready for the week ahead?

Kisses,
