Things and times have changed. For me it’s important to be honest. Honesty comes with a cost though, so to grab some future opportunities I have to let something go and that something is blogging.

So as I embark on another part of my journey, I want to say thank you for all the good times we’ve shared. I will always be just an email away yanique (at) toocutemagazine.com

I’m no longer a single girl running around New York, I’ve moved to Paris, become a wife and a mother. My personal and professional life has become more demanding and exciting. So it’s hard to write about the things I used to write about with such passion, as that’s not the person I am anymore.

I’ve grown, and with growth comes change. Who knows I might even start to blog again, but it would be more about the new me.

I’m starting a new chapter. Will keep you all posted as the pages unfold!

I love you all, even those of you who just stumbled upon my blog.

It goes through some of the typical things you first do when you arrive in Paris; like shopping for food, going to the Marche, asking for directions, getting lost, taking the metro etc.

I’m not a big fan of Macarons but I’ve told my husband that I’d gladly marry the baker downstairs because of his croissants and the religieuse au chocolat. Help! I think this bakery’s proximity is a detriment to my waistline and test in self-discipline. Aiee.

Anyways, hope you’re having a lovely weekend and thanks to Pearls & Silk for posting this cute video.

This week it was announced that Cédric Charlier will move on to other (perhaps greener) pastures after his six seasons as the Head Designer at Cacharel.  It is reported by WWD that the Belgian born designer will leave at the end of his contract on October 7th 2011.  He was the one that re-launched the brand in 2009 after its 20-year absence from the fashion scene (which in fashion is an eternity!).

Cédric Charlier gave us his rendition of the Cacharel woman; young, feminine, colorful and a bit sweet, as displayed in his Spring Summer 2011 collection that had bright neons in full head to toe glory. The signature “floral” (after all this is the same brand that gave our mothers those soft floral Anais Anais Ads back in the day) came back center stage for the Fall 2011/2012 collection that showed a creative mixture of brocade and colors a la Marie Antoinette.

Kudos to Cédric Charlier for resurrecting a beloved brand from the past.

It’s because of him that many buyers and editors pack the Carousel du Louvre to see the show each season in Paris.

My only question is was who’s coming on board and should this be taken as a cautionary measure from the brand not to go back to being not just another “vintage” brand like Christian Lacroix?

These photos are from weeks ago (before Paris fashion week) , but I should put it up – will post more looks in the days to come.

Hopefully my outfit can inspire you to rock something that’s just been hanging in your closet.

You want a piece of me? You talkin to me? ( Taxi Driver voice) lol

I’ve had this bag for 3 years, bought it on sale at Bel Air Paris, and it has never failed me yet. You can expand it too and it goes with just about everything – or I make it go with every thing.

Stop playing Mommy, let’s go.

These old Levi’s are so freaking comfortable, they have now taken the spot in my heart ( and closet) usually reserved for my 10 years old Diesels.  These denim Lanvin heels are from back here, but I don’t really wear them at all.

My look  on this day was all about comfort (movie and brunch with son). I usually come off looking like a homeless person if I don’t wear some killer heels with these ripped jeans, you know gotta dress em up a bit.

I’m still on the 30 day shopping cleanse, and I feel like a crack head in rehab, the first couple of days was rough, but now I feel lighter, and yes I still get tempted every time I ride pass a Zara and I itch like a mofo when I ride on Rue St.Honore, but then  I think simplicity is the sweetest form of sophistication sometimes, I don’t need to buy stuff that’s going to be out of trend next season anyways.

Sometimes, believe it or not I get really tired with fashion!  It’s like my man ( I like to think that in another life we were best buds) Yves Saint Laurent said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

Do you guys have a favorite pair of jeans and if so what are they and what do you wear them with?

We’ll be back in Paris soon and I have to tell you all so much!!! OMG!!!

Morocco has been such a life-enriching vacation. I know that sounds dorky, but really, it has!

I have so many stories to tell and photos to share when I get back in January so be prepared; I might talk about things that don’t at all relate to fashion, bore you a bit, but ( I hope) are still quite amusing or if not simply interesting.

I’m ready to look 2011 in the eyes and say “Bring it!”

xoxo,
thank you all for the love!

Get Me Bodied!

I usually don’t wear a lot of minis – but I’ve been thinking if God gives you lemons you might as well make Lemonade and since my legs are one of by best physical attributes well it couldn’t hurt to start showing a bit of skin, right!?

My birthday’s not until January but I’m already making plans – January will definitely be like the Jay-Z and Pharell Video for “Change Clothes”
