    Iris Apfel Documentary

    Iris Apfel is an inspiring, fashion icon.  You may remember my previous blog post about her which you can find here. A new documentary directed by Albert Maysles, one half of the legendary documentary team that made “Grey Gardens,” has created this intriguing look into the stylish life of Iris.  I am looking forward to watching this film, and getting a glimpse into the life of this fascinating woman.  If you are a fan of Iris, or just a fan of fashion and style, this will be

    A look into the World of Julien Fournié

    I have attended a few Julien Fournié Haute Couture shows, and am always impressed with the designer and the way he creates wearable feminine, yet edgy clothing.  This video shows a great interview with the designer along with stunning views of the clothing, accessories and hair/beauty at the show.  The beadwork in the jewelry that was created in house for his collection is amazing and really shows the Haute Couture side of the designer.  If you are interested in jewelry, bea

    My Back Shed, French Style in Oakville

    I am finally back in France, and was just itching to come back!  As much as I love being in Canada surrounded by family and friends, there is something that I always miss about Europe.  If you feel the same way about Europe as I do but can’t make the trip over to France, look no further for a little bit of France in Oakville!  My Back Shed is your destination spot for French Country and Shabby Chic furniture and decor. The store is known to designers and customers who like th

    Paris Street Style

    Attending Paris Fashion Week is not only interesting for the shows themselves, but also for the style style seen outside of the venue.  It is amazing how many people go and stand outside of the show just to be photographed in their outfits.  As usual this year there were some people wearing beautiful pieces of clothing and others who just didn’t quite pull it together.  Here are some of the best and worst dressed street styles from Paris Fashion Week!  What are your favorites

    On a wet rainy night in Paris at Les Beaux-Arts de Paris, Alexandre Vauthier showed a beautiful collection of soft pastel colored gowns.  The beautiful venue situated along side of the Seine came to life with a runway lit up with fluorescent lights as a backdrop to the flowing dresses as they walked down the runway.  Sitting front row at the show was Beth Ditto from the band “The Gossip.” The show started and models made their way down the runway showing soft pastel mint gree

    Christian Lacroix

    This morning I couldn’t resist but go back to the Marche Puces Porte Vanves antique market. Last week I came across a lady who had bought up a lot of supplies from the Christian Lacroix atelier when it closed. I had to go back this week and have a better look through all her boxes of treasures! I must have spend about half an hour going though all of the beads, sequins, buttons, threads and metal pieces. I ended up purchasing a few pieces to incorporate into my jewelry design

    Spring Sparkles

    Since this beautiful spring weather has hit Paris, I have been full of inspiration. The bright days, and vibrant flowers in bloom make me want to create! So, I just thought I would share a sneak peak of what sparkles are currently on my desk. I just finished three more hand embroidered Swarovski cuff bracelets. These will look beautiful when worn outside in the bright sunshine to catch their sparkle! Each cuff is hand stitched with Swarovski crystals, vintage sequins, and gl

    Royal Sapphire

    It is made from Swarovski crystals, glass delica beads, and 24kt gold delica beads. The center piece is composed of 6 large Swarovski rivoli pieces, 3 Swarovski square components and many 4mm Swarovski crystals paired with the glass and gold delica beads. There is a spiral beaded rope which leads up and finished with a toggle clasp. It is my interpretation of the jewelry that is shown here in Paris at Place de Vendome. The jewelers with boutiques here often show pieces that a
