Paris Spring 2011 RTW Christian Dior
Paris Spring 2011 RTW Christian Dior
While the whole Christian Dior Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection seemed inspired by 1940s films of the US Navy visiting the South Pacific, it had a clear duality. First, a stream of breezy sailors sauntered by; next, a tropical parade of island enchantresses swung to the scene. In color and design, the two parts had little in common, save for the starlet wigs and Dietrich makeup. If we forgive the disjointedness, the show was buoyant with an infectious joie-de-vivre and numerous "Ooh" and "Aah" moments.

Different approach. I was very happy to have a past inspiration grab hold of me again for the Paris gallery show. I remember walking into the L.A. County Museum back in the early nineties to the abstract expressionist rooms and come face to face with my first Robert Motherwell painting. I walked past it actually, there was so much to gawk at: Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Helen Frankenthaler...but I found myself coming back around and standing in front of one of the "Elegies for the Spanish Republic" series.
I kept coming back to it years later, bought some books I would leaf through occasionally. Like skimming. Or not wanting to be completely pulled in. I know nothing about abstract expressionism nor am I able to even attempt anything close to it. But it did make me want something about it.
The "Verses" series was an aspect of the Nina story and she stands in one universe and seem to converge on another. Thus the contraction from multiverses to "Verses" which also had the welcome correlation to childrens book verses. I had just completed a childrens story book then and still had that mode operating. So, there it goes.
I like watercolor when viewed up close so heres a link to a detail.

Paris
Paris
Back in July, I was lucky enough to take my very first trip across the Atlantic to visit my brilliant friend, Sean, in Oxford. We spent a day in London, 3 days in Oxford, and 2 whirlwind days in Paris. The weather in the UK was surprisingly sunny and gorgeous, but our time in Paris was spent dodging sudden downpours. I didnt mind - the reflections from the rainwater made the city all the more gorgeous.
The IF topic this week is "Celebrate", and I felt this piece is appropriate because it is a celebration of my short time in Paris with my good friend. This is the second piece that I have made in honor of my trip, (this being the first) and I will be bringing both of them with me in print form to Wondercon. I may do a third of London, so stay tuned for that! Wondercon is two weeks away! Come by and say hi if you can!

Ah, Paris. The perfect way to end our trip. The last time I walked these streets, I was sixteen years old. Yes. Sixteen. I was just as awestruck this time as I was then.
Ive got a sort of love-hate relationship with the city of lights. On one hand, after traipsing around Iceland and Belgium, Paris seemed kinda dirty and full of people. On the other hand, its PARIS. Once we settled in and had our first meal at a Parisian café, the hoards of selfie stick salesmen faded away. It was perfect.
On our first day, we walked all the way from our first apartment by Cambronne to The Eiffel Tower, then across The Seine to The Louvre. It was a longer walk than I remembered but it was so picturesque. It was a dream walking hand-in-hand with my love.
I look at all of these photos of us taken separately and I think to myself, "damn. Should have bought a selfie stick."
Brenden was so cute when he saw The Notre Dame. He wasnt too impressed by The Eiffel Tower but thought the church was "dope."
We spent our last night in a swanky hotel in Le Marais, one of my favorite neighborhoods. Aside from getting intimately acquainted with the Paris Metro, our trip was pretty low key and "uneventful" in a good way. We walked around a lot. Thats how I would suggest doing Paris: throw out all of your plans. Walk around. Hold hands. If you see a café you want to visit, go there. Get a cappuccino. Sit outside, take a look around, and soak it all in.
Im so sad all of my pictures are done! I guess this means we just have to get out and travel more? HMM, where to next?
xo,

Paris S S 09 YSL
Paris S S 09 YSL
Back on the Paris runway, we have the YSL show. I must admit, when the rest of the fashion world applauded Pilati for his first collections, I was still a bit hesitant about them. It just wasnt quite the Tom Ford era YSL style, I associated YSL with (that was the era that motivated me to become a hardcore business woman just so I can wear them!). Its taken a while, but I think Im finally warming up to Pilati! I am loving his minimalistic, oriental inspired collection. It is simple, wearable but still feminine and elegant.
I am loving the subtle black prints and the more relaxed but still structured silhouette of the collection, which is still very flattering. The whole super cinched, fitted and tailored thing is getting old. This is modern and refreshing.
One of the biggest thing on this runway are these lattice mesh shoes. The fashion world is loving this child of gladiators sandals and boots. Personally, I am not so sure. I didnt like the whole gladiator thing to begin with. And if I think that boots with peep toes are unnatural, these are definitely out of my comfort zome. It kind of reminds me of those jello mesh flats that were popular a while back. I do like the metal lattice heels though. That is really modern and cool looking, just not the rest. Maybe it takes getting used to?Image Source: Style.com

PARIS BEFORE AND AFTER!
PARIS BEFORE AND AFTER!
Today I have a real treat – a Before & After in Paris by Huff-Harrington. You may remember a few other Before & Afters I’ve showed by Huff Harrington, who is a Cote de Texas Sponsor.
Huff Harrington has a shop in Atlanta and an online store HERE. They also host trips to Paris and Provence, where small groups stay in their country house and their Parisian apartments.
They have several new trips planned for France in 2016, including a “Buying Trip” to Paris on March 9th and September 28th. There are also new Paris & Provence Trips planned. If you are interested, go HERE for more information.
The trips to Provence include stays at Les Murets, the beautiful country estate restored by Huff-Harrington.
You probably remember I wrote about the extensive renovation of Les Murets HERE.
Besides the Provence estate shown above, Huff-Harrington has also renovated beautiful apartments in Paris, including the Cremant de Bourgogne, which has just been completed!
The newest renovated apartment, located in the exclusive 7th Arrondissement on the Left Bank, has a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower from it’s windows, shown above. The studio apartment sleeps 2 and is located on the 6th floor of the building, which is equipped with an elevator.
Before: the studio had two rooms: a living area and a kitchen. During the renovation, the kitchen was moved to the living room and that empty space was then turned into the bedroom.
The building is located at the corner of Avenue Bosquet and Rue Bosquet.
Before: The living room with wood floors and a ceiling with exposed wood beams.
Before: the living area with the Juliet balcony and its Eiffel Tower views.
BEFORE: Across from the sofa is a fireplace. The kitchen was moved to this area.
After! Wow!!! So beautiful!! An antique French daybed becomes the sofa. In keeping with the new lighter trend, the beams were whitewashed as were the wood floors – now with a limed finish. Above is a gorgeous antique crystal chandelier! So pretty!!!!
Across from the sofa, the new kitchen was installed in two cabinets that flank the fireplace. The apartments amnenties include air conditioning, washer and dryer combo and fully remodeled kitchen and bathroom.
Across from the sofa, flanking the non-working fireplace is the kitchenette. A mirror backsplash enlarges the space. The kitchen includes all utensils, a dishwasher, Proline burner, microwave, refrigerator, and a Nespresso machine – though I doubt much cooking will be happening with all the cafes right outside the front door!
Above the daybed are antique sconces and gilt framed prints. Across, is a marble mantel and an antique gilt mirror above it.
Close up of the mirror. Of course there are beautiful antiques here! The owners, Huff-Harrington sponsor buying trips to Paris and Provence.
I love the fabric on the daybed’s French mattress.
The beautiful marble mantel – underneath the area is painted French blue, with a print placed there.
The view of the Eiffel Tower from the 6th floor studio apartment.
BEFORE: Past the living room is the kitchen. This was all cleared out and the pony-wall was removed and this area became the bedroom. Another window is located in this area of the studio.
