I recently saw a post come thru my Facebook feed from a sweet friend of mine, Priscilla "Prissy", sharing with us that she just got diagnosed with breast cancer. Amidst a big transition in their lives, a big move from Paris to the US, new jobs, and a mother of 3 little ones, 10, 4, and 1, this came their way. And not JUST breast cancer, but an aggressive form of breast cancer. My heart sank with a feeling like SERIOUSLY? This CAN'T be? This … [Read more...]
Day to Night in Paris
I had always seen articles in magazines on outfits DAY to NIGHT but I had never said to myself, SELF, WHY DON'T WE TRY THIS SOMETIME JUST CUZ. Doesn't work that way. But this summer, I found myself in the situation where I DID have to do a day to night look. Oh boy! How did it go? Like this.... It began with a simple white tank (the wifebeater), a simple black skirt, and Rosie (my bag that went everywhere with me). Now, I wore … [Read more...]
Parisian Pretties
Wrapping up some thoughts and images of Paris for you. A few final pictures that captured some of the uniqueness and beauty this fabulous city had to offer... Look at that fantastic display at Galleries Lafayette for the swimwear department. I fell in love with all the darling flower shops on the streets. I was so taken with all the beautiful architecture and ironwork. All of the buildings are so old and … [Read more...]

Paris Fashion on the Streets, Part 1
I was SO taken by Paris and as I had said before SO overstimulated, I was taken by every sight, every smell, every sound. And of course, fashion is definitely a huge part of that. So much so that the sneaky side of me was coming out (driving the family INSANE, by the way!), that I tried to take pictures of strangers on the streets to share with you. This one shot I think defines it all... Isn't she absolutely FABULOUS???? What you … [Read more...]
Welcome to Paris
You know how people tell you how certain things can over stimulate a baby's mind? Like patterns or colors? Which depending on how you reference it, can be a good or bad thing..... in a baby's room where he needs his sleep, perhaps not so much, but in toys, probably yes. Such is the case with MY brain right now! I'm overstimulated and cant settle down! Take a look at this picture and you'll begin to see why.... This view is what we … [Read more...]

Five thoughts…
Five thoughts that either bring back memories, will create new memories, or capture memories. But all connected in that way. Not planned or intentional when I began to write this, but it appears to be the common thread to all of my five thoughts today.... 1. I recently became the owner of a new vehicle, and part of the deal is one year of free Sirius XM radio. I never listen to any one set thing, let alone pay for a service when we have free … [Read more...]
Louis OP Style and New Years Good Luck Charm
I opened up my email today to see this... Dear friend Kecia rang in the new year in PARIS (yes we all wanna be her!!!) and as she and her GI JOE hubby were taking a stroll through the streets, this dancing cuddly couture bear caught their eye, especially his (she trained him well!). At first glance I thought, COOL!!! A polar bear on display with a Louis Vuitton bag, all surrounded by dripping leaves of gold foil. But take a closer … [Read more...]
