The forest of enchantment

· Fashion, Travel

Disneyland, it’s a bit like my second house, as you can notice with all my visits out there.

No matter if it’s in Tokyo or Paris, the magical remains present all year long and always fulfil my growing nostalgia.


 

Enchantment to the eyes

What a pleasure when I got invited this weekend to the premiere of the new “Forest of Enchantment” show… Because in Disneyland there is not only attractions, Disney Dreams fireworks or coco marshmallows!

Forest donuts

I remember that time when my SO and I had the annual passport: we would run to see all the shows happening all around the park (“Mulan” in Discoveryland or “The Tarzan encounter” at the Chaparral Theater remain one of our best memories).

The greatest irony is that in spite of being a frequent visitor of the park, I heard very late about the “Frozen” show (therefore I didn’t see it): I wouldn’t repeat the mistake with this show (which take it over until May 8th)!

Enchanted cupcakes

So I was able to enjoy “The Forest of enchantment” this Friday night. The weather was freezing and raining, but anyway, as soon as I have good company nothing can tarnish my moral!

I had the pleasure to meet again my dear Tarzan who was swirling around with his liana and to discover other residents of this enchanted forest.

Flynn and Rapunzel… romantic!

My other favorite scenes: Baloo‘s dance, and the magical arrows of Merida the Scottish rebel.

I’m trying not to reveal everything but here is a sneak peak of the show which will make you, I hope, want to come and see if for real!

 

Dreaming at Disneyland Hotel

Other crazy thing this weekend : my very first night at the mythic Disneyland Hotel. My reference (I must admit, a bit old), it’s actually Michael Jackson who was used to stay over in one of the suite.

I didn’t pushed the dream any further and didn’t stay in the “Sleeping Beauty” suite but just staying in a room a couple of meters from the park was already enough magical: a childhood dream has become true.

This weekend as always was a succeed for my eyes, my stomach (the crunchy bacon at the Plaza Gardens restaurant: yummy!) and my little heart.

I have this feeling to overflow of cheesy when I come back from Disneyland but every time, my head is full of new unforgettable memories, I can’t help it! (English translation by Quiterie)

Play it (almost) like Chung

· Fashion

The other day, Erica from “Blue is in Fashion this year” noticed that her silver boots were sleeping in her closet… It’s pretty much the same for me (except when I decide to be Princess Leia). I used them a few times on this blog but I wear them a way less often than my black boots.

Alexa Chung is a never-ending fashion inspiration source (I’m not saying anything new): Erica explained on her blog how we could find some inspiration from her looks with silver boots: Belted grey coat (I don’t have), skinny jeans but not too tight (I don’t really have one neither), scarf (I’ve got that!). So I’ve changed a few things but inspiration is here.

Grey coat, straight cropped pants a bit large, skinny scarf transformed into a mini-scarf: the look is a bit different but I like it this way too. Copycat, but not too much! (English translation by Quiterie)

Movie Valentines

· Fashion, Illustration

Do you remember my Holiday selection for Marionnaud? This time, the famous perfumery asked me to create a new selection for the coming Valentine’s Day.

I imagined what 3 movie couples would offer each other during this day celebrating Love (… well… if they could ever celebrate this day together because for some of them it seems to be a bit challenging!). So I put myself into each character’s skin in order to select the best gift for his and her beloved!

 

SATINE & CHRISTIAN

Make up palette “Déclaration d’amour” Marionnaud
Nailpolish “Rouge envie” Marionnaud
Large red pouch Marionnaud

What could we offer to the mythic Moulin Rouge couple?

We can’t really say that our poet Christian is really rich: therefore he would have bought to his dear lead dancer this make-up pouch with an envelop shape (and would have inserted a love note at the same time). Also, a red nail polish in order to match with the mill.

He could also have paid for a check-up by the best respirologist (pneumologist) in Paris, but let’s be honest it wouldn’t have been very romantic (even though it could have been very useful).

For Christian/Ewan, Sateen would have chosen this large (red!) pouch so he could have tidied up his quills, paper… to keep writing her love notes.

 

ROSE & JACK

“Rose sensuelle” Body balm Marionnaud
“Soin de la roseraie” Scrub cream  Le Couvent des Minimes
Icy stick Hydraboost eye Polaar Men

The unfortunate Titanic lovers can also celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Jack would have played the classic card by choosing this products with a Rose scent (thankfully Rose’s name wasn’t Durian). And Rose more inspired, would have offered this amazing icy stick for eye contours in order to be in line with the cold weather of this night of 1912.

 

CHEWBACCA & HAN SOLO

Gentle beneficial shampoo Le Couvent des Minimes
After-shave balm Dior Homme

The story would go for a Valentine’s Day with Han Solo and Princess Leia but I’ve always found suspect that Chewbacca was constantly stuck to Han over all the Star Wars episodes: I’ve had some doubts about an under cover relationship…

So here is why, in the unofficial version, Han Solo would have bought this beneficial gentle shampoo to tame his lover’s shaggy fur.

Chewie, on his side, would’ve taken care of Han’s sensitive skin: it might be useful in case a lightsaber would brush past too close! (English translation by Quiterie)
