PARADIS

FASHION, MUSIC

Two good reasons to write this post : First, I wanted to introduce you French band Paradis, whose first album is out. My favorite song is “Recto Verso” and I want you to listen to it, close your eyes and picture yourself in the waves with whoever you wish (fiancé, BFF, dog, cat, whatever). Then, this is an excuse to prepare a holiday selection because I picture myself having neverending holidays, including a beachhouse, grilled fish, hot body tanned on a boat, … I’d better close my eyes, and listen to Paradis : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKLZJVR4DeA

A.P.C. … EASY AS 1, 2, 3

BRAND, FASHION

Don’t you know French brand A.P.C. ?

This acronym stands for “Atelier de Production et de Création”. Founded by Jean Touitou in 1987, A.P.C. suits perfectly the French mademoiselle. Classy, chic, yet really comfy, with a vintage hint (though it’s definitely modern). The mens collections is not less interesting, especially for its incredible denims (with Japanese fabric). The stores are fabulous, and I love to have a look at the sales teams photographed on their instagram. Like the A.P.C. family. By the way, Caroline de Maigret (de canard – french joke) loves APC, but I don’t know if she mentioned it in her book “How to be Parisian : wherever you are”. Because I didn’t read it.

Anyway, here is my dream wardrobe in the Fall collection !

RAINY COMFY

FASHION

It’s not raining men, unfortunately, in Paris, but rather a thin cold rain that makes you wanna hide under a blanket (in front of TV with a hot chocolate).

Anyway, let’s wrap in a blanket trenchcoat (with red lipstick on).
