SECRET GARDEN

I have been a busy little bee! Myself and the lovely Danielle, behind I Love Cutie Pie jewellery, had an impromptu photo-shoot this week! Danielle loves vintage clothing and I can't get enough of her vintage inspired jewellery so we brought our two shops together and clicked our little hearts out! We discovered an enchanted french chateau with it's own secret garden of wild flowers, apple trees and dancing meadows of tall grass. You can see a little taster of what's to come below :)

Antique Rose £20 at I Love Cutie Pie. Dress from Dandelion Daydreamer Vintage.

Dani also has the most beautiful of blogs, she takes my obsession with all things French to another level ;)

VINTAGE TRINKETS

I will be shopping up a storm in San Francisco! New party dresses need new party accessories. I'm a huge fan of I Love Cutie Pie jewellery. These little pics will surely show you why. I especially love their vintage collections.

Win £50 of Jewellery With I Love Cutie Pie Jewellery...

I wandered over to the Cutie Pie shop to treat myself to some new neck trinkets as a sort of welcome back Spring celebration (any excuse I know). They are running an enticing competition with Company Magazine, whereby one of us lucky ladies might have the chance to win £50 of Cutie Pie Jewellery. You can see more here.... good luck cheries!

We'll always have Paris...

I live on the South West coast of La France. By the beach, surrounded by great vineyards and (unfortunately for my bikini body) even better boulangeries! It's a stunning place to be, but for me the heart of france is Paris. With it's streets winding through the city, like vines of ivy weaving their way around an old house, I manage to find a hidden gem at every turn. If you are lucky enough to make it to Paris this fall then don't miss La Nuit Blanche. It is a very special day and night when some of the enchanting museums and galleries of Paris open their doors for 24 uninterrupted hours of culture and art viewing. Below are some images and artists inspired by the wonder of Paris...enjoy :)

Don't you wish you could be Maral Sassouni sitting in a quaint cafe not far off the Eifel Tower, sketching away as the city, oblivious to your admiration, bustles around you.

You can't go to Paris and not lingerie shop. Sketched or photographed, I want it all! Christian Dior Bra illustrated by Cocopit.

 Can't afford the flight ticket... Irene Suchocki's photographs will take you there.

 Don't forget to stop and watch the world go by with a cafe au lait, see more I Love Cutie Pie vintage jewellery here
