Back to work! I hope you had wonderful holidays (or maybe you are preparing your coming holidays). September is around the corner and even if this scorching weather isn’t really in line with it, the new Fall collections are here!

I braved the heat a few minutes to take pictures of this 100% La Redoute “back-to-work” outfit (thankfully the fountain played the role of atomizer). But it will certainly be the clothes I will be wearing when the temperatures will be cooler.

Generally speaking, I particularly like the association with dungarees and laces top. The laces help to make the dungarees look fancier.

Here, I added a “preppy” touch with these ballerinas with perfect size heels and this leather purse (which could be exchanged by a backpack if I had to go back to school!).

Actually, if you would like to create your September outfit at La Redoute, I’m launching a small Instagram contest (until friday) to win a 200 euros voucher... Check it out! (English translation by Quiterie)

I’m slowly making a come-back after a summer blog-break, and this is a special article. I already told you that this blog brought me a lot human-wise, since thanks to said blog, a number of people I met through it (professionnally or not) became great friends.

It’s the case with Lionel, that you must begin to know: my partner in crime for all Dawson’s creek and Hunger Games marathons, I also keep mentioning him on all my social media.

…Let me play among the butterflies ♬

Everything started 4 years ago, with a friendly professionnal email regarding my illustrator activity … In the following years we became friends.

A beautiful fraternal friendship that brought us together for so many great moments that we decided to capture it in a photoshoot.

We wanted to mix magic and yummy things (= our shared passion! haha)

I contacted Laura, that I had met during a portait drawing event for Swarovski last December. That day, she told me she had been following my blog since she was 14 years old (haha, that’s not making us any younger!) and shortly after, I discovered her work and her pretty poetic pictures.

…in other words, hold my hand♩

A couple of tripartite conversations and Pinterest boards later, we were all set for a shoot in May, praying for good weather – which was miraculously present!

I won’t talk about our “backstage moments”, in order to keep the magic intact, but know that we encountered a number of technical difficulties (… and mosquito bites!) to get the result you see.

We really tried to think outside of the box to overcome all our technical issues, but these two days will remain amongst the best memories I have related to this blog.

I hope you’ll enjoy the magical atmosphere of this shoot and that we somehow managed to visually transcribe our complicity.

…in other words, I love you ♫

Thank you Laura for your talent, your lovely enthusiasm, patience and general sweetness. This shoot wouldn’t have been possible without your vision. And thank you Lionel : I don’t need to write you why, you already know. (English translation by Marine)

During this month of August, my blog posts will be less frequent. I will stay in the capital but I need to calm the rhythm down to finish all the side work I have to get done and enjoy a bit the sun.

It’s actually what I did this weekend. I went hunting Pokemons at the Parc de la Villette (yes, I’m a lost cause, I know).

Despite appearances, the crowd was there but as we had a ‘almost-holiday’ scenery, I wanted to immortalise my look. A holiday outfit, half-pyjamas, half-cruise where comfort always remains present.

I hope everything is going well on your side, wherever you are. With this providential weather, let’s enjoy it! (English translation by Quiterie)
