On Saturday, I saw the Cacharel fashion show. I was more than happy, I’ve always loved the brand and its universe and seeing one of its shows had appealed to me for a while.

And yet, things had started out poorly: I left my flat in a bit of a hurry leaving my precious invitation on the table. I was stupid enough to take it out of my back to check the address before leaving and of course I forgot to put it back in it.

When I arrived place Vendôme, I wasn’t feeling quite so smart but I was praying that there should be a listing with my little name on it. And luckily there was one, I smiled again very quickly.

Then I hauled myself at the end of the catwalk to make friend with a photographer who let me sit in front of him, it’s sort of the ideal place to see a fashion show and especially to try and bring a few pictures back. But beware, it’s also war because one has to keep one’s place and prevent the pains who stand in front of you from obstructing the view ahead. Hopefully, the “real” photographers who “are here to work” saw to it for me. Alix was by my side, we kept low profile to go unnoticed and not risk being kicked out by the organizers. We waited a few more minutes in the dark, sitting directly in the ground, the music got louder, it was about to start…

And… I screwed up all my pictures, there you go, great! All overexposed, I’m disgusted  I still liked the -, the cute coats, the liberty somewhat more “military”, the shoes (the liberty shoes yummy), the dresses and the pretty -. My pictures are a bit messed up but it doesn’t matter, you live and learne :)

Here what I liked best ;)

If there’s one thing I have a crush on this season, it’s the miu miu print. So when I saw this “very inspired” playsuit on a fashion editor in the backstage of a fashion show in London, I made up my mind not to leave without it. The deed was done the following day as this pretty little thing came from Miss Selfridges*. .

As it was seriously cold on Friday, I wore layers on top of my pretty playsuit and as a little dissatisfied granny said as she crossed the passage Jouffroy ‘had I known it wasn’t heated, I wouldn’t have come’. So you will unfortunately not see it very well on these pictures but it’s only just a matter of time. In the meantime, I leave you with some pictures of this wonderful place: the windows of shops selling miniatures, the secondhand booksellers and the glass roof filtering a beautiful light.

As for me, I still can’t grow tired of my beloved little flowery coat (Gap, bought 5 years ago) and of my briefcase in which I can put away everything as if it were Mary Poppins’s bag!
* While talking about Miss Selfridges, I’m desperately looking for the pair of white court shoes with bows displayed on the shoes home page on the website of the make (those worn with spotted socks). NO WAY to find them! Would anyone have a tip?

On Thursday night, I was at the Meurice to celebrate the birthday and success of Flowerbomb, the fragrance by Viktor & Rolf, which was launched a few years ago. For the occasion, the designers created with the chef of the famous Parisian hotel a dessert just like their baby: a moist cake flavoured with rose and green tea (or so it seemed to me at least).

All this light and all those colours inspired me quite a lot, I took many many pictures throughout the evening! Especially when the ‘surprise’ came in: Grace Jones who performed an explosive show to celebrate the birthday of Flowerbomb.

Everyone wore an outfit with a little killing detail :

A feather tiara for Betty

A candy bow tie for Mathieu

A gorgeous bow on a princess dress for Alix

That Face Hunter didn’t fail to notice…

As I didn’t have any of these, I put a flower in my hair, so there!

I know the picture is blurred and I look really weird on it but it’s the only one I have of my outfit for the party.

Edit: H&M dress, YSL biker jacket, Michel Klein for la Redoute over the knee boots, topshop bag.

I don’t know how I managed to haul myself on a speaker so close to the stage to bring you back these few pictures. Well, yes, I know, I walked through the crowd squatting as a GI Joe, ha ha!

And apart from that, the cake?

♥ See all pictures ♥

Have a nice week-end my darlings :)

Ha ha, you were waiting for that one, I know you were! The dress is a bit THE thing about which all the girls think even before they have a ring on their finger, or even before they have their first boyfriend for some…

And you’ll never believe me but as for me, wedding dresses never made me dream. > read more

Yes, yes, I know, not many pictures in Paris lastly, but the rain, the wind and the cold often get the better of my will (and of Vianney’s too, let’s face it). That’s why the staircase of my building, which is not icky either all in all, serves more and more often as a little studio to show you my beloved outfits, so that there is a little Paris tinge (and a smell of pee due to the dog of the old woman next door, sadly) (but you don’t see that so it’s ok).

This time, I felt like wearing something a bit rock but girly and with bows, we’re still at Eleonore Bridge’s here, you’d have a stroke if I wore chains and rings with skulls, admit it!

A mind-blowing photostream that I have hardly come across, which is seriously worth having a look at: Lissy Elle. Inspired, sometimes puzzling as one loses one’s bearings when watching too closely her pictures, her work is remarkable.

She’s a kind of witch whose secrets cannot be laid bare; some pictures are a real riddle for me… But I haven’t said my last word! I let you appreciate :)

 

PS: and as usual on Friday, if you feel like it, go and contribute to my little story telling on lense.
