Out sick…

Category : bits and pieces


Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts. Ive been out sick. I hardly have the energy to write this, just want you all to know that I haven’t disappeared.
I’m talking to a close friend of mine (thanks Tina!) who has agreed to take over the blog while I’m away – I’m sure you all will show her all the love and support you’ve given me.

I’m in Public Magazine, Paris

Category : paris, streetstyle

So as promised to all my Tweeties (http://twitter.com/toocutemag) on Monday, here is the photo that was taken on me for Public Magazine.


I was walking home from work on Rue Montorgueil – one good thing about my job is that I get to dress up or down as much I like.

I had a pretty rough day at work so I was listening to some relaxing music, when out of nowhere jumped the photographer asking for my photo.  That made my day :)

This cotton dress I found at FreepStar (My favorite vintage store in Le Marais) in mint condition, wish I had shown the amazing details on the shoulders but I was freezing!

and the belt is also vintage from Episode (Rue Tiquetonne). Boots Jonak, Coat  Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair

Off I go to bake my hubby a Banana Chocolate cake for his birthday…yummy!

Sneak Peek: Cancan Paris Store

Category : paris

Yes We Cancan…

Spent the afternoon yesterday with the wonderful Kristina at Cancan in the Pigalle area of Paris- I’m still processing the images from my little dress-up session / visit to the store.

They have the most amazingly selected hotness in all of Paris! Brands and designers that are sought after by the discerning shopper who cares about quality and personal style.

I’ll be posting more photos of the boutique and the clothes, shoes, jewelry and such that can be found in this treasure box of style…please come back later for more photos of the story.

Be Honest

I’m so happy that it’s Friday – I’m grateful for my family, friends and all the positive people around me. Sometimes we forget that the best things in life are not things at all.

If you feel like you’re always swimming upstream – stop – you’re going in the wrong direction.
