How does a parisian girl look?

Gaelle — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:35:15 +0000

She's beauty to her nails' tip. She takes care of the smallest detail ti make herself flawless. Obviously she likes dark tone. She's sophisticated to the tip of her nails. She puts make up from the morning. She takes care of herself. Carine Roitfeld

Get me blond

Gaelle — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:13:00 +0000

My mixed heritage makes my mate skin go between yellowish (as I am now after the summer stuck in Paris ) to so dark that it looks blue when cruising on boats in the Caribbean.

I started browsing the web for fall shopping. I've been into hats a lot lately. I'm fairly classic and hats lifts up my look.

Gaelle — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:29:09 +0000

Gaelle — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 14:21:57 +0000

about my feeling at my first ever Couture runway show. It was Lee Jean Youn's in Paris last July for his FW 2010 collection debut. I started to screen him when he first came to Paris about 4 months before after having won the MFA of Mango

She was nicknamed Ghost

Gaelle — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:30:54 +0000

... by her classmates. like every model Karen Elson has suffered ugly mockeries while she was a youngster.

Brigitte Bardot for Lancel

Gaelle — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:24:16 +0000

You remember this ad of Delon, the famous French actor for Dior. Lancel did the same with younger Brigitte Bardot.

An interview of Lee Jean Youn

Gaelle — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:30:39 +0000

The limited-edition “LEE JEAN YOUN For MANGO” I did after winning the competition is a mix of simplicity and romance of the Orient with a hint of European chic/rock.

The SS 2010 Balanciaga boots

Gaelle — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:00:36 +0000

I'm in love with those boots ever since Balenciaga introduced them at SS RTW 2010 runway.

Vanessa Paradis selfportrait

Gaelle — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 15:30:52 +0000

Singer, actress, model Vanessa Paradis took a pic of herself at Chanel rue Cambon private fitting rooms. The pic has been auctioned at Christie's Paris on July 1st, 2010 to help raising funds for medical research and the poorest. (I don't understand why one cause is related to the other, by the way).

Brigitte Bardot at Saint Tropez

Gaelle — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:30:58 +0000

Brigitte Bardot is being exposed once more in Saint-Tropez, her hometown in the south of France.

Gaelle — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:30:26 +0000

Lee Jean Youn introduced his Fall Winter 2010 Haute Couture collection last week one block to Georges Pompidou Center in central Paris. It's the second time he graces the French capital with his design, his first passage having been his SS2010 collection earlier this year Jean Youn delivered on a flowery stage a subtle & romantic design full of bows and flowers, veils and trails in organza silk, cashmere fabrics. The key color was orange beside white and black. The whole collection was rather short lengthened, sexy, fitting and body flattering.

Bespoke Cartier jewelry

Gaelle — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:30:44 +0000

This Cartier's ad caught my eyes in that it's not spectacular an ad. I mean it's as if H&M would display a pouch rather than Daria in a sexy swimwear or Apple advertising the box of the iPad rather than the device itself.

Carla Bruni Sarkozy selfportrait

Gaelle — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:30:09 +0000

Top model turned French First Lady, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, striked the pose for a shoot of herself by herself. The pic has been auctioned at Christie's Paris on July 1st, 2010 to help raising funds for medical research and the poorest (I don't why one cause is related to the other, by the way).

Getting luxurious eyelashes

Gaelle — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:30:42 +0000

I've wasted some time to understand once for all that I couldn't get the luxurious, dark, curved lashes that models get in advertising. Now, I don't doubt anymore that it's achieved with ... fake lashes. Ok, it's never been said anywhere it was all natural.

Alain Delon for Eau Sauvage Dior

Gaelle — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:30:06 +0000

Dior’s Eau Sauvage advertising is displayed everywhere in Paris. The model is younger Alain Delon, a french actor as know for his movie career as his breathtaking look. He got mostly casted for playing corrupted characters or lovers. With about 100 movies, he’s also a producer, a writer and a director. In France Delon is [...]

Fashion sense

Gaelle — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:38:18 +0000

I used to wonder why some people dress so badly. You know, I walk the street and I bump into some folk thinking “Where the hell did she find that horrible skirt”. Do you feel that way too? For me it sort of feels natural to pair stuffs together. I try 2, 3 or 4 [...]

You, guys, go green next summer?

Gaelle — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 15:30:15 +0000

There's something with this greenish trend men's runways have sorted out. This is not the most flattering color. But this is certainly the newest shade. Is it a yerk? Or is it a no?

Kudos to Hermes Men’s RTW Spring 2011 collection

Gaelle — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:30:31 +0000

Hermès managed to deliver an immediate to wear RTW collection. Most of the collections is easy enough to get picked up and worn right after the runway. Let's point out the cardigans,

Dior Men’s RTW Spring 2011 gets it fluid

Gaelle — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:30:41 +0000

Unlike Raf Simons, Dior got it darker and less structured. Figures are way manly and lines look like they're flying around.

Raf Simons Men’s RTW Spring 2011 got me dual

Gaelle — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:03:27 +0000

Raf Simons introduced an utterly feminine Men's RTW collection last week in Paris. Evidences are the boot large cut pants, fitted tops, straight above the knees bermudas and skirts. The androgynous figure of the models added even more confusion about whom this collection was intended for. I seriously love the whole collection . I'd get it all for myself. Though I'm not sure I'm ready to cross with guys dressing that way in the streets. I purposefully selected only the very hermaphrodite outfits.

Karen Elson’s red hair

Gaelle — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:30:11 +0000

Karen Elson's red hair on St John new campaign is fire. I love it. The red background warm the pic up in such a bright way. It makes me want dying mine. The thing is my skin is of caramel tone. Ugly uh? Ok! I won't do it!

City shorts for men

Gaelle — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:30:15 +0000

Spring 2011 RTW runways for men are full of shorts this year. I cheer on this trend. There were some yet last year. Just last summer, I was there to my sweetheart “Honey, what do you think of shorts? No not bermuda. You know mid thigh shorts made of summer fabrics like linen or cotton. [...]

Wild Jeneil Williams for i-D

Gaelle — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:31:38 +0000

Jeneil Williams is 20 years old. She's Jamaican. She's staffed by New York Models. She's got this amazing shape from having been a junior track & field athlete. An injury made her give up that career. And it seems that her body gave You know I like this kinda body. Jeneil's body gets something deeply wild that photoshoot captures vividly.

Vanessa Paradis for Chanel

Gaelle — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:30:44 +0000

Vanessa Paradis keeps it strong with Chanel handbags ad campaign.

She's been very present in French medias for the last couple of months with this campaign and for the sake of her new movie (L'arnacoeur) promotion

Doria Salambo, made in Paris

Gaelle — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:30:46 +0000

I just bought this hat at Doria Salambo at Bastille in Paris.

€19/$23. I love it. It's pretty high, and this bell shape is funny. I'm rather into plain colors than pattern fabrics. I confess that I'm mostly classic. I accessorize a lot with bold stuffs like this hat.

Venus Williams’ dress at the French Open Rolland Garros

Gaelle — Mon, 31 May 2010 15:30:01 +0000

The place to be those days in Paris is the French Open Roland Garros. I'm not in. I don't like tennis that much to suffer the back row while my TV allows me to sit comfortably at front row. The fashion event this year was Venus Williams and her lace dress (wait for it) ,

A bitting Karl Lagerfeld got interviewed by French Elle

Gaelle — Fri, 28 May 2010 15:30:47 +0000

An as usual scathing Karl Lagefeld answers to Interview Vanity of May issue of French Elle. Below some pearls. Bitting and funny as only Karl knows how to do it.

What’s hotter than a Harley Davidson burning out?

Gaelle — Mon, 24 May 2010 15:30:22 +0000

The model who's doing it of course: Victoria's Secret angel Marisa Miller. Do you think that Harley Davidson bikers are gonna recognize themselves in the person of new Srping 2010 campaign babe? I can't say. I'm not one. Do you think they're gonna hit new customers? Sure!

Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment in Paris

Gaelle — Tue, 18 May 2010 15:30:33 +0000

I had the privilege to visit Mademoiselle Chanel's apartment at Rue Cambon, Paris above the principal luxury store. I was glad to make it as it's not so common to enter the apartment itself.
