Isabel ♥

15 November 2013

I hadn’t forced myself out of bed to face a morning frenzy around a Capsule Collection at H&M since Lanvin in 2010!! But when my alarm clock rang yesterday morning, I jumped out of bed and ran to the angle of Lexington Avenue and 59^th street, just a few blocks from home, in order to obtain the famous pass-bracelet and be one of the crazy lucky few that would raid the shelves of the so-long-awaited Isabel Marant collection for H&M.

I’ve always liked Isabel Marant a lot… from the distance. But this time, this cheap, I didn’t want to … READ MORE

Winter is coming

14 November 2013

Only 28°F yesterday morning, and I caught a big cold on top of it! And yet I went out to take these pictures – sorry if I look tired.

A few words about my coat : it might just look like a big oversize wool duffle coat, but it’s actually hiding a very warm quilted lining!

As for my bag, we’ll talk about it later this week. I believe it deserves a better introduction.

Thank you sooooo much for all your comments on the blog, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook after my article about my wedding. I was very moved. I’m … READ MORE

My Wedding in Normandy

11 November 2013

We got civilly married on December 1^st 2012 before leaving for New York, but of course we wanted a big and beautiful wedding party with all our friends and family. It was at the end of August, and you’re finally getting to see the pictures.

It took me a very long time to begin writing this article, because there is no way I could write down how moving this crazy day was. It goes by as fast as it is intense.

So instead of trying to put into words the magic of this unbelievable day (I’m afraid I just … READ MORE

Carrie B.

4 November 2013

I’ve always loved Carrie Bradshaw’s outfit in the episode “An American girl in Paris” of Sex And The City : her long pale green tutu, her stilettos and her fur muff.

When I saw this burgundy tutu on ASOS,, I just couldn’t resist! I had bought the same last year in grey and this cherry red reminded me of the Lanvin for H&M red tutu dress – that I bought in grey, by the way… The skirt is easier to wear, and more Carrie B. like! So I thought I was gonna make a look-alike series of pictures, in … READ MORE

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier – From the sidewalk to the catwalk – BROOKLYN MUSEUM

1 November 2013

After Montreal more than two years ago, and Rotterdam in last February, I visited the Jean-Paul Gaultier exhibition for the third time at the Brooklyn Museum last week.

You know I love this exhibit, and I almost know it by heart now : the Madonna corset, the Nana teddy bear on which Jean-Paul Gaultier created his first prototype of cone bra when he was a child, the models animated by a three-dimensional process on molded faces, and many other things. What is really nice – especially when it’s your third visit – is that they add surprises and new stuff! … READ MORE
