Bastille Day Sale! And a movie

Happy quatorze juillet everyone!

The photo above is from La fille du 14 juillet, a French comedy released last year; it's a quirky road movie that feels like 60s Godard. Definitely worth checking out!

It's time to celebrate the French National holiday again - which usually means ... fireworks! People started setting off small fireworks and firecrackers since yesterday in my neighborhood. But the big light show take place tonight at Trocadero, near the Eiffel Tower. It is pretty impressive.


This year we're particularly lucky with the long weekend.

So here is our annual Bastille Day SALE! 20% off your purchase with the code bastille20 at checkout; ends 16/07.

Happy Quatorze Juillet! And a little Anna Karina eye candy

... probably Godard's most blogable movie?  I know it's been done to death, but...it's a classic!

Everyone knows his obsession with the red, white and blue (and primary colors in general) but I think this film illustrates it best.

Of course, it's probably the least appropriate for the National Holiday (Film Socialisme anyone?) but it's fun and colorful and a great tribute to classic American musical comedies as well as an adorable and witty relationship think piece.

And in the end isn't a fun French classic the perfect way to end a (very) sunny July day? (I got sunburnt at the flea market yesterday)

The French already started celebrating last night with fireworks and local street honking/cheering. I don't know what's in store for later, but I wouldn't mind more fireworks and a late movie (maybe even this new release that kinda has Godard circa Weekend vibe? I'm not really hot for contemporary French cinema, but maybe this one might actually be good or at least fun) . And calling my mum of course! (Happy Birthday mum!)

Also preparing a MAJOR shop update with the cutest dresses ever! But more on that tomorrow.

Until day enjoy the last day of the sale (20% off with the code bastille20, ends Monday 7AM GMT) and this darling dress named after this fun movie!

Have a great Sunday!

 

Vive la France! 20% off entire store this weekend!

 

Sunday is the official French national holiday and my mother's birthday.  While I don't really care much about military parades, I do enjoy the extra fireworks sparkle around the Eiffel Tower.

In order to celebrate, I'm offering 20% off the entire store with the code bastille20 during the whole weekend (expires Monday 15/07). Shop away!

...and last but not least, probably my favorite photo of the Eiffel Tower - Lisa Fonssagrives for Vogue by Erwin Blumenfeld, 1939.
