Cute Vintage Phones

Yanique — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:11:29 +0000

It’s the return of old school elegance. Yes, modern cordless phones fulfill our needs for mobility and multitasking – but we’re going back to a time when things were less high paced – where you actually sat beside the telephone and enjoyed the conversation in your favorite chair.

And to do just that here are some cool retro phones that are sure to bring back memories or make you want to kick your foot up and make that long overdue call.

I was shopping in the Marais this Saturday at random Japanese inspired store and saw the cutest vintage phone, immediately set me on a search for old school phones, like the hamburger one used in JUNO.

Restaurant Review: Jet-Lag Paris

Yanique — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:29:42 +0000

Located in the heart of Paris beside L’Eglise St.Eustache, at the intersection of Rue Montmartre and Rue Montorgueil you’ll find this non-intrusive restaurant that cooks up American and French classics alike.

I stopped by for lunch and had their Lunch Special for 12Euros – includes starter(or desert), main course and drink.

I wasn’t feeling very experimental so I went for the Poluet Roti avec Frites ( Roasted Chicken with Fries) and was pleasantly surprised to find that its not like any normal tasting “French style” rotisserie chicken…it tasted more like American BBQ chicken and as for the sauce that went with it – I wanted to buy a bottle.

The ambiance is mixed – tourists, business people and families – and they do have a kids menu.

They also have a long bar, if you’re more interested in just having drinks and a terrace if you prefer eating outside.

Jet-Lag Paris is a cozy restaurant located in the Les Halles area that has good tasting food at a reasonable price. At nights the atmosphere gets more lively with music.

Yummy

Give it to me right

Go Melanie…

So I think the first time I heard Melanie Fiona I was shopping in H&M – they have some good music sometimes – when I was in college I discovered Mos Def thanks to the H&M at 34th Street/Penn Station where I worked. You know that song “Umi Says”?

Anyways, I’m loving her voice..kind of like Amy’s. Exactly what I needed to discover right in time for the weekend.
Hope you enjoy the music and TGIF

I’ve changed!

Yanique — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:42:50 +0000

Hi guys!

I’m finally making the move to wordpress from blogger this week and really hoping everything goes well – don’t want to loose my links, page rank and past 4 years worth of blogging.

Also, taking this opportunity to optimize stuff and work on a new fresh look for 2010…you know something a little bit more me, that you can appreciate and relate to as well.

It’ll take me a while to get everything back to 100%, but it’s going to be hot!

stay tuned while I work things out ASAP…

My gosh! It’s 3Am and I’m up working on my migration from blogger – its been one hell of a night- so many things went wrong – perhaps I should write a blog post on that for all my fashion blogger freinds who want to make the move too? Will try to pan that out.

Basically – just want to say even though the site may look like crap for the next few days – keep coming back – its going to be so much better

I promise to make keep adding more on life and fashion in Paris as well as hold things down on the NYC fashion scene – shopping, deals, events, news, photos and random musings on life and all things that are just TooCute not to blog about!

xoxo

Please help Haiti

Yanique — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 08:52:00 +0000

My heart and prayers goes out to Haiti. It's been a week and so much still needs to be done. There are many people still without drinking water and living outdoors with the stench of dead bodies around them, searching desperately to find their loved ones.

Please help Haiti - anyway you can, disaster always seems to strike the poorest countries.

If you're considering a doantion please do so via trusted organisations such as The American Red Cross or Unicef.

There are also many local groups and people like my firend Leona organizing charity events to get food and clothing to the victims of the hurricane.

Oonagh is Nanette Lepore’s new line

Yanique — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:27:00 +0000

Nanette Lepore launches basics line Oonagh. Sometimes a diffusion retail line can just be too diluted – and thats exactly what oonagh looks like. According to the Cut Blog Nanette Lepore's

Oonagh "A smart move for a down market, Oonagh has a nice balance of loose, smart construction, up-to-date color palettes, and diffusion-line prices."

But is it just me of does this just look like loose clothign i canbuy at H&M or even Old Navy?

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the line looks like in person.

Soldes d’hiver – My Week in Sales

Yanique — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:19:00 +0000

So I told you all that the Sales ( Soldes d'hiver Paris) have started lastweek – and to my disappointment I didint get ANYTHING at my new favorite brand store ACNE! – They no longer have the Extreme Strip Dress I wanted and the Atacomas were indeed in stock but not on sale!

BUT – it's since been a week and my heart has healed thanks to my good ole pal…H&M…seriously I'm still surprised at the stuff I can find at this very mainstream retail mainstay – Wool Cardigans & Silk Dresses for 20euros!!

Also, picked up three dresses at Et Vous for 70euro a pop – in purple, red and blue! Suck that! I'm sooo tired of wearing black like the rest of Paris – Gawd, I'm such a hypocrite.

Anyways going back to H&M and All Saints today, as today marks the start of the second markdown- which means 70% off and more in stores!

I think these sales are really bringing out the my very shallow yet frugal me. I kinda like it – getting a fashion fix and saving money at the same time gives a huge thrill.

Will try to do a mini-fashion show and post picks of things I've bought during the sale. Promise!

I’m waisting time trying to sort through your junk. I know that we both have issues but since when did yours become more important than mine?

I'm waisting time trying to sort through your junk. I know that we
both have issues but since when did yours become more important than
mine?
I think we need to clear the air- I'm really not asking you to be fair
That would be too rational and that's what got us here
In the first place
I want the us to move away from you and back to me you know remember
before you used to compare me to your overbaerinhg mother
Before I used to sort through our conversations to find an ounce of
truth
Back to when I wasn't sorting through your gmail and begging for your
attention
Back to when you used to send me a dozenemails yearning for my affection

They say you never know what you've got til it's gone- but right now
all your junk just became too heavy for my trunk
