I decided to go Le Parisienne today...avoir l'air de Parisienne! I'm pretty sure French people don't dress like we imagine them with the black beret and the black and white striped shirt. My wardrobe is just inspired by colors I see when I think of Paris, the timeless elegance of neutral grey, white, black and then the splash of bold passionate red that makes you think of only one thing. L'Amour...as Paris is the City of Love.

I decided to use our guest bedroom for a photo location because I have decorated it in French boheme theme. The Paris postcard was a freebie from a Nick Bantock novel/art book. I absolutely love the over sized black flower pin that came with the blazer. The draping necklace somehow makes me think of authoress Colette and the stockings, is Anaïs Nin: sexy, volatile and complicated. They also remind me Montmarte's ornate architecture.

Mon Dieu! c'est vendredi enfin!
