MR. KLEIN
If our personal film archives say a lot about us, here is a film that says a lot about me Continue reading “MR. KLEIN”
PURPLE NOON
A perfectly retro swimsuit, a sailboat: it doesn’t take much more than that for me to sail towards the murky waters of “Mr. Ripley”, the paper antihero created by Patricia Highsmith. Continue reading “PURPLE NOON”
GOLDEN HOUR
Here is the perfect dress for Summer nights out.
The V-neck and sleeveless cut make this a light and breezy dress to wear on a hot day Continue reading “GOLDEN HOUR”
SUPER SLOW FASHION
Here I am in a gorgeous, timeless, elegant 50’s dress.
I found it at the Puces, the Parisian flea market, in one of my favorite shops, Marcel and Jeannette Continue reading “SUPER SLOW FASHION”
ROARING
Yes, I am indeed breaking the sacrosanct rule, the law according to which one leopard print item per silhouette is enough. Continue reading “ROARING”
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK
This item is a UFO: a playsuit by Victoria Beckham designed for target, the massive U.S. department store. Indeed, Victoria Beckham presented Target with an affordable 150-piece-collection in Spring 2017, which includes a line for plus-size women and for children. In all fairness, it’s quite a success. Continue reading “ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK”
LET’S GO BOLD
This vintage dress is incredible and dazzling with its intense color and endless fabric. So strong and intense that it cannot go unnoticed. Continue reading “LET’S GO BOLD”
THE FOUR TOLTEC AGREEMENTS
Contemplate the possibility of an act being a mistake. Contemplate all the whys and wherefores of the said act. Assess all the alternative routes offered by life (… dive right into the mistake but knowing that it is a mistake): that is the perfect allegory of my life. Continue reading “THE FOUR TOLTEC AGREEMENTS”
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL
When you have a public account on Instagram and that you wish to reach a maximum number of people, there are two possible postures.
The first one is to consider that you influence others: the idea is therefore to increase your number of followers whilst only following a few, often institutional or celebrities accounts. Continue reading “MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL”
MEANWHILE, IN REAL LIFE…
I have two very personal reasons to maintain my website and its related IG page: the two young ladies surrounding me at home. One is 4 years old (and we have time). The other one is almost 18 and, bottom line, is the core reason of all you see here. Continue reading “MEANWHILE, IN REAL LIFE…”
LA PARISIENNE
I wanted to begin this text by declaring my love for Paris and by claiming that I feel like a true Parisienne… but, beyond simply being born in Paris, how is one Parisian?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was asking himself the same question as early as 1761, when he declared that “fashion dominates provincials but Parisians dominate fashion”. Continue reading “LA PARISIENNE”
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 2
After an incredible number of photo-shoots for this website, I understood that being photogenic doesn’t really exist.
Being photogenic (a state which I did not find any precise definition for, except perhaps “that looks good in picture”) is first and foremost a question of lighting (which is actually quite obvious given the fact that “photo” means “light” in ancient Greek if my memory serves me right). Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 2”
WOW FACTOR
This lovely Miu Miu dress is slightly too strict for my taste. Composed of a fine black jumper and a navy blue skirt with pockets, I cannot say that this dress is not classy and well cut but it lacked a little wow factor, a little twist. Continue reading “WOW FACTOR”
