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.
