Suitcase: Dinner on a Terrace in Saint-Paul de Vence.

March 31, 2009

I started my French Riviera research for my July adventure- So far, I’ve penciled in a few dinners and lunches in various little seaside towns. But I’m also looking forward to sipping wine inland in beautiful Saint-Paul de Vence.

Prom 2.0

March 30, 2009

In my over-achieving years I spearheaded my prom committee. I made a trip to Montreal and Toronto to look for the perfect prom dress only to purchase a safe royal blue dress from my hometown shopping center. If I had to do it all over again, I’d like to think I’d be more adventurous with my choice of outfit!

I saw this video on Le Love… C’est drôle à quel point je rêve de ma propre histoire d’amour- J’ai l’émotion à fleur de peau.

Dragonfly.

Inspired by a dragonfly painting I saw on Etsy I decided to create my own. I’ve always loved the vintage feel of a wax seal, and so I’ve decided to purchase some light coloured wax to personalize my future paintings.

Sofia Coppola directed the romantic Miss Dior Chérie commercial. I can already picture myself in a pretty dress walking the streets of Paris… Only three more months!

I’ve missed you- My unannounced hiatus is over. Now I find myself with too many choices for a proper suitcase post. Below are some Summer evening dresses I’m dreaming of for my French Riviera vacay.

Grey Gardens.

March 22, 2009

Last night I watched the 1975 documentary film Grey Gardens. Film makers Albert and David Maysles, Susan Froemke, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyerhe, tell the story of mother-daughter duo Eddie & Eddie Jr. Bouvier Beale. The women live in a disgusting mansion in wealthy East Hampton, New York. The documentary is hilarious.

HBO is airing its version, a made-for-tv movie of the ladies story, on April 18. It stars Drew Barrymore & Jessica Lange. Good for those who don’t tire of the Kennedy’s personal lives.

I’m immersed in wishful holiday dreaming: Hot sandy beaches, delicious meals, reading by the water, cat naps, and afternoons spent discovering. You could roll the dice on any of these fantasy destinations.
