Modeled after floral arrangements (including the clear plastic headdresses, similar to what is wrapped around a bouquet). The collection is full of bright, garish colors and big shapes.

Summer is Here!
Summer has finally begun and though mine will be composed of pleasant things I fantasize that it might be something completely different. Vacationing at some quaint cottage by the sea would be ideal. The house would be decorated in serene whites. You could look out the window to see the beach, ocean and horizon; something that never ends. The days would be comprised of strolls by the shore line, picnics in the meadows, bike cruising, lounging on the beach with fresh lemonade and the newest magazine and parading through the little town of boutiques and cafes. Ahh… doesn’t that sound marvelous? I have the whole pretend vacation planned out in my head. These photos seem to say it best. Have a beyond wonderful summer! Enjoy!

Happy Sunday!
Though it is cloud covered and gloomy here I can’t help but wish that it was sunny and warm (who wouldn’t!) so that I could picnic in the fields… enjoying fresh lemonade and sandwiches, cut crystal glasses wouldn’t be so bad either!

Friday French Lesson: Merci
Merci (thank you) is the store to go to in Paris, France. Located in a former fabric factory on the edge of The Marais District this 16,ooo sq. foot “general store” was founded by Marie-France and Bernard Cohen. The store’s merchandise is comprised of everything and anything- an assortment of the eclectic and unexpected. From vintage furniture, household linens and used books to flowers and classic clothing. It’s a place where you can pick up tin picnic plates, a YSL classic, an African Violet, and clay-bead chandelier or disposable plates made of sugar pulp. The best part is 100% of Merci’s profits go to children’s charities in Madagascar.

{Emma Watson}
…beautiful shot of Emma Watson by Patrick Demarchelier. The head piece is exquisite and the way it is shot in black and white allows you to imagine a little. The makeup and hair are very simple and classic. Love it all.
