Childhood memories.

I love cows. They are so peaceful and it reminds me of good memories walking in the countryside.

Une partie de mon univers

I love Madonna since the age of 11. She is a great artist. I love her.



I can watch this movie over and over again. I love the music so much. It really speaks to me.


I remember; my mum had a poster of Degas in the guest bedroom and I always loved those ballerinas not knowing it was Degas.


Sean Connery is the best Bond. Nobody can replace him.

The best thing ever

fill in the blanks: fashion

I love those knitted sweater; they are so beautiful and comfy with style.

1. One fashion trend I really regret is shoulder pads, but that was in the 80's; I was still looking for my style.

2. The one thing that always completes any outfit is wedges or clogs with heels and Eugenia Kim hat and a handbag of course. I love handbags. I am a girly girl.

3. I would describe my personal style as modern, pratical, feminine.

4. My fashion muse is, well I don't one person in mind specifically. Strong women like Madonna, Coco Chanel inspires me but I can't say that they are my fashion muses. I am inspired by fashion magazines, people walking in the streets, window displays, clothes that celebritries are wearing at the Oscars for example. After visualizing clothes, I come up with an outfit that suits me best and make me feel good wearing it.

5. If I could own one designer piece of clothing it would be a dress from Rodarte. Dresses from Rodarte are art pieces.

6. I would love to raid the wardrobe of Chloe Sevigny probably.

7. Today I am wearing black pants and top, brown leather jacket, my wooden clogs, my Carlos Falchi for Target bag and my Eugenia Kim cool hat.

Some lilies of the Valley for the first of May and other projects

For the first of May, it is good luck to give to someone some lilies of the Valley. I got some this Saturday at Armelle's chocolate fondue party. I love lilies of the Valley; it smells so good.
I am planning on finishing up my artwork for our living room and the baby sweater, the sooner the better. The baby is due on June 3rd but she is in charge. She will decide.

I wish everyone a great week.

XOXO.

An afternoon in the park

On a sunny day

Lately, I am more into accessories and makeup as understandingly my clothes do fit the same but I have one more month to go so I am hanging in there.

I went to the farmers market and could not resit to buy myself some fresh roses and also some tulips. Of course, they are better quality than the ones you get at the deli not only by their fraguance but also their colors. I then went to a street fair and I had a crush on this vintage handbag by Ruth Saltz, so cool. I love the tiger's head and the aubergine color. It has a little bit of Carlos Falchi but it is unique of course. The salesperson was so nice. She told me the whole story about the designer who after making handbags decided to retire and paint.
I got the alpaca pouch at one of my favorite store called Makie. The store is awesome.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

XOXO

Memories

This afternoon, I found some old pictures. I like the one with my father when I was 18 years old and also the one with my grandmother on my father side when I was 22 years old. This is the only picture that I have of myself with my father. I love my father dearly; unfortunately he died in a car accident when I was 21 years old. I never had a chance to say goodbye. My grandmother is currently 98 years old. She is amazing. She is really into crafts and I remember when I was very young and making a doll; she helped me out with the apron for the doll. Back then, she was big into knitting, crochet. I love her dearly.

Welcoming Spring!!

I love the pink chick, so cute. I finally finished my baby blanket which I am really proud of. These are things that inspires me. It is all about colors, yarns, butterflies.

Have a good week!!

XOXO.

Getting to know me

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday.

I found out about this by reading the lovely blog of www.bacwoodsfern.blogspot.com and www.mannland5.com


1. Are you more of a talker or a listener?

It depends.

2. Bra. Underwire or wireless?

Underwire.

3. I wish I was.....?

I happy with what I have. I feel personally that wishing I was something that I am not only brings frustrations in life. I am happy to be in good health. Health is everything in life. I hope it continues that way.

4. The Academy Awards are on tonight..will you watch?

Yes, I love to see what the actors are wearing. I love fashion.

5. Do you put your deodorant on before or after you get dressed?

I have some at home but forget to wear some. So, I don't wear deodorant. I don't like the fact that most of the time; it leaves white traces on clothes. I wear although everyday perfume that I carry in my purse. It is a mood booster. As Chanel said a woman with no perfume has no future.

6. Would you rather do the dishes or clean toilets?

Dishes if I really have to.

7. How much did you weigh at birth?

I have to ask my mum. She told me but I forgot.

8. If you could only buy one thing for the Spring/Summer season..what would it be?

hum! I don't know. Maybe a nice pair of sandals

Take care everyone.

XOXO.

Beautiful collection by LANVIN. Albert Elbaz is a GENIUS!!!

Ceramics created by my mother + picture of myself and doll

Yesterday, a messenger delivered this artwork composed of ceramics created by my mother a long time ago. Brentano Frames in NYC did such a lovely job at framing those ceramics. Now, this new artwork is hanging in our foyer and I am very delighted and happy. I am sure my mother would love to hear that. I will need to hear her thoughts on that. I love my mother very much; I just wished she never got this nasty disease that is ALS. Anyway, thanks for reading. I am also including a picture of the Sonia Rykiel doll; this is all I could get at H&M since everything else was sold out. Also a picture of myself wearing blue eye shadow. I love blue; it is my favorite color and it puts me in a good mood. Now, I am off to the gym.
Have a lovely week!
Take care.
XOXO.

Inspirations + New creation Aloha aquamarine flower puff necklace

My favorite things to do is to look at fashion magazine. I found it so inspiring. When I was a teenager, I used to do a collage of fashion pages in my closet.
I bought the other day despite the bad weather some aquamarine beads. I absolutely adore aquamarine. I actually am wearing
my new necklace as I am typing this.
Have a great weekend!
Take care of yourself.
XOXO
