Paris in the Fall

Doesn’t wandering the streets of Paris on a beautiful fall day just sound divine? Breakfast and people watching from a favorite cafe, then a day spent roaming the halls of museums, and hunting for treasures at local flea markets and bookstores. How about ending the day with plenty of champagne, cheeses and baguettes? Don’t mind if I do!

This mix of casually chic high and low items are just the right combination to keep you warm, comfy and cozy, while fulfilling all your Parisian dreams. Some of the investment pieces such as a classic Burberry trench coat, an Hermes scarf or a YSL leather purse will become timeless staple pieces in your wardrobe and last you forever if they are properly cared for. Treat yourself to one at a time. Maybe even invest in some vintage ones if you happen to find them, (always incorporate some more vintage pieces in there somewhere if possible, with some jewelry or accessories?).

Oh. And as always don’t forget the red lipstick, or an umbrella just in case it rains!

Cannes 2013

Out of all of the events that magnificent gowns show up to, the Cannes Film Festival is one event that I look forward to viewing every year. Maybe it’s just the vision of the beautiful atmosphere that surrounds the French Riviera in my mind, the selection of style iconic people who have come and gone, or maybe it just gives off that irresistible feeling from another more elegant and glamorous time. The vibe of gowns and overall style aesthetic seem to always gravitate towards that classic polished silver screen nostalgia, and that never gets old. 

 There were so many beautiful frocks in the air that night, but the one that I can't keep my eye off of (so far) was Cara Delevingne's. A stunning bias cut, lace Burberry number with a plunging neckline. It was a sure fit for a more glamorous place in time, especially captured in a beautiful black + white image. I'm sure as the days progress I will have my head wrapped around another dress, or two, or three....
