Paris Most Wanted – Rue Montorgueil

Category : streetstyle

Walked by these ladies on my way to the park with my son and had to take my camera out. They were just so apart from everyone and everything that was walking down Rue Montorgueil.

Their style is a divergence from the norm and their blog explains their fashion philosophy and aesthetics as well as give a personal view of their daily lives as Paris’ Most Wanted.

Curiosity led me to Colette

Category : paris

I went to Colette on my lunch break Friday, because I heard they were going to have a photo exhibition up about crowds / people from concerts – anyways the setting up and installation wasn’t finished so I was moesy-ing around trying to find a book or a magazine when I finally had the chance to flip through the new The Selby in your Place by Todd Selby.

There it was in between “Booze, BBQ & Blues” and some forgettable pop sketch book on everyday buys ( this last one really had me thinking maybe I too can make money writing about interesting but forgettable stuff? You know like “Life in Paris- Frustrations of a Foreigner” it’ll be about daily observations and funny frustrations.What do you think?

Anyways back to The Selby. Gawd! that book made me really interested about the way that real creative interesting type people live and made me feel great about my decorating abilities , which by the way is just about zero. Even though i drool at deco blogs and miss my monthly Domino Mag, let’s just say which all my efforts, at best I keep a clean apartment and not trying to trip over my kids toys and my husband’s camera equipment!

Where the heck do these people get they’re obsessive collections from?

Seriously I’m now going to become a hermit and start collecting things ( other than shoes which doesn’t really count because everybody’s got those!).

I think I’m now addicted to stuff like The Selby, because it just makes me feel good that even though I’ll probably  never make it in AD nor Elle Decor there’s always hope for me in The Selby!

Coincidentally, I just found out my fave NYC blog Refinery29 did an amazing funny post on getting shot by The Selby.
