Red

Gaelle — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 20:14:05 +0000

like the newest additions of my shoe closet. One is Alexandre Birman's python ballerinas I've been craving for ever since I spotted them on Net a Porter like 3 months ago. 2 weeks ago, I checked my wish list: on sale! can't believe it. 30% reduced. Size 9 still available. It's a sign.

Bikinis

Gaelle — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 08:30:14 +0000

I will be getting back home for summer break. Last year, I got stuck in Paris for work. But this summer will definitely see me flying out to the Caribbean and French Guyana for the wedding of my little cousin. And ... icing on the cake, I guess I'll go twice, once in July for a short week just for the wedding and second in September to spenf time with my parents and my new nice (2 months old in a few days). Can't wait to hold her.

Perfect boots

Gaelle — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 16:58:59 +0000

Those darlings are my new selfish gift to myself. I've been searching the perfect boots for a while. The unique pair of them that combines elegance and comfort and suit all my dresses and pants... Ok ok! those don't really. They are ok with slim jeans and leggings. But, honestly, which ones do?

The Chanel’s J12 Chromatic watch gets revamped

Gaelle — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 22:51:44 +0000

Chanel is for me good at making dresses, suits and jackets and some accessories like glasses and sunglasses. Otherwise, I don’t fancy Chanel shoes at all, let alone the handbags. The 2.55 looks iconic just because it’s … iconic. You know it’s like Paris Hilton is famous just because she’s Paris Hilton. Other than that she doesn't produce. She doesn't make something. Don't get me wrong! I'd love to make that money just being myself. Unfortunately, like many of us, I need to produce work to have my nespresso at breakfast. Anyway. All the same, I never considered Chanel a watch manufacturer, in the most precious sense of the term.

My new obsession

Gaelle — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 16:30:29 +0000

is the Chloe Darla tote.

. I was doing my usual almost daily browsing of of-the-things-i-d-like-in-my-closet-but-I-can-t-buy-them-all on Net a Porter website when I saw the precious. I went touring the Chloe corner at Le Bon Marché and the Chloe store of Avenue Montaigne, Paris

My Italian boots

Gaelle — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 16:30:44 +0000

You remember that my getting Italian boots was the top of my shopping list in Roma.

It's not that I can't buy boots here in France. Nope. It's that I wanted an everyday well crafted, quality pair of boots around €200 ($250) to go to the office. It's basically the price of one nice pair of pumps here in Paris. Designer shoes are gorgeous, no question. Yet, they aren't made up to an everyday wear and tear. They are too fragile and then too expensive for that purpose. For a given reasonable price, I knew that I'd found way more elegant and comfortable boots in Italy.

My fashion picks for Autumn

Gaelle — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:30:41 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kate Moss and Gaspard Ulliel at Cafe de Flore for Longchamp

Gaelle — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:30:30 +0000

I came thru the making of of Kate Moss and Gaspard Ulliel advertising for Longchamp back in 2008 at Cafe de Flore, Paris. I missed this campaign as I were living in the US that year. The campaign renders the whole Paris cliché picture with the intimate and vintage interior of Café de Flore. Look at this cup of tea. Today, you find that out only at your grandmother countryside home. Yet, it's not the campaign itself that's stunning. It's more the characters.

Tomorrow’s outfit

Chanel wants you to get rid of your gloss

Gaelle — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:14:38 +0000

Chanel has chosen Vanessa Paradis as the face of her its upcoming long lasting moisturizing lipstick line. Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Color collection will launch in March 2010

Louis Vuitton Spring 09 campaign with Madonna

Gaelle — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 10:30:03 +0000

What's funny is that I used to not like Louis Vuitton a lot. The reasons are plenty.

Le Rituel box set

Gaelle — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:08:34 +0000

I was talking about Christian Louboutin fascination for movie making. Seems he really enjoys the experience. You don't know how to use properly Louboutin crystal stiletto and enjoy your Rituel box Piper Heidsieck champagne? Well, follow the guide! So sexxy

Rodolphe Menudier’s shoes

Gaelle — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:30:54 +0000

My very first pair of luxury shoes has been camel Rodolphe Menudier mules. It was seven years ago in July 02. I was in Paris for some days between my finals and coming back home. It was the middle of summer sales and Zara and my usual stores has been devastated. Hence I decided to make some luxury stores. I got into Rodolphe Menudier store (14, rue de Castiglione, Paris) at walking distance from Place Vend√¥me. While I looked like a student (i.e. poor), the shoe advisor was truely friendly.

Christian Louboutin is beyond shoes

Gaelle — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:30:01 +0000

I first heard about Christian Louboutin shoes 4 years ago by one my male acquaintances. He used to be a pharmacist (!) into fashion. We were talking about rising brands while sipping a (bad) coffee at the office. I was saying that fashion was streamlined in Paris, and that when I was searching for an everyday special outfit, I prefered going to London around Angel or Seven Sisters. Maybe, British found those neighborhood's frocks streamlined, but for me it was fresh air. He introduced me to Louboutin. The first time I tried one pair on was in the US. Actually, I really feel that Louboutin " is renowned in the US rather than in France. I never saw Louboutin shoes in Galeries Lafayette or Au Printemps in Paris while it's widely distributed at Saks or Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and likes. I get any doubt that it should be his choice to not be in Paris grands magasins right now. But I don't know why he wasn't before being a recognizable brand. It's been sometime that Louboutin is pampering his image and building a complete brand personality venturing wider around shoes. He pictures a complete sophisticated, luxurious lifestyle with his shoes being the central piece of happiness. His creations make me guess that he likes all sort of creation, from stories to filming to photography. In 2007, he partnered with David Lynch to release incredible images in an exhibition called

Manno

Gaelle — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:03:15 +0000

I found out those paintings while I was trolling along Annecy, a lovely city in the French Alps. The artist is Jo Manno www.jmanno.com. His atelier set in the Alps. I've fallen in love with the first one. I really feel I can walk the corridor and join the light there. I like the different textures he created. The contour looks like rusted iron, while the middle is stone-alike. Any shoot wasn't good enough to show how the blue script enlightens the whole canvas, but it really does.

Uterqüe

How surprised I was to discover Brussels airport. What a gigantic hub for such a small country.

AND

How excited I was to find out Uterq√ºe
