Whimsical Lady of Leisure...

I have a feeling this post will put a smile on The Boyfriend's face! With our impending three year anniversary, maybe I should bookmark Andres Sarda's website in his toolbar... I know he secretly likes it when I feed him little tips like that ;) I came across these enchanting pictures on This Is Glamorous, I especially love the turquoise bustier, the full black chiffon sleeves and most of all, the daydream of being that whimsical lady of leisure which this lingerie provokes. See you tomorrow, my evening now entails mastering that up-swept do...

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

           Can I have the bag and the illustration! Laura Laine is an amazing illustrator, see for yourself...
