Casual Friday

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…

Playing at Palais Royal

on April 7, 2010BLOG OUTFITS 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!

Les Oiseaux et Louis Vuitton

By

on March 31, 2010BLOG HOME PARIS

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!
