Saturdays At Shop This: Joie de Vivre!

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

Yesterday was Bastille Day, so I thought today's theme would be all things French. It's very très chic, just like my French Friend, Christine. Enjoy and have a beautiful weekend

Monique Lhuillier Trunk Show: Thinking ahead to Spring 2024, the French fashion designer's spring edit is so dreamy. Pricey, yes, but the good news is that you only put 50% down now.  See it all at Moda Operandi

À votre santé: Vintage French Champagne Buckets. Loving these vintage buckets that have been imported from France. They will make even the least of champagne and wines taste better. See them at Food52.

French Kiss: I just couldn't resist. This chic candle in black will burn for 50 hours, and is $35. It has a complex scent of lime and cassis with a rose base. Sounds divine.

Paris Paris: Some words are worth repeating. Chanel has a new fragrance! It's pretty in pink like my fave Coco Mademoiselle. This scent is interesting with notes of rose damascena and citrus. Plus patchouli and spicy pink pepper for an unexpected twist.

Unpacking the Effortless Cool of French Girl Beauty: An excellent article from Vogue's archives.

Say Oui: If you like the positivity behind the French word "OUI" as much as I do, Clare V. Has some very cute styles with the word embroidered including a needlepoint kit for making a bag!

Goop's Paris Guide: If you are heading to Paris, Goop's guide is all that you need. You'll read about what's new and great, a guide for foodies, hipsters,  kids, art & architecture buffs, and more. 

Vintage Chanel: If you are a vintage jewelry lover, like myself, you need to know about What Goes Around Comes Around! They have a large online presence of only the finest authentic designer brands, like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior and more. But you can also find them in NYC and Beverly Hills.
