White Dreams - Jardin Albert Kahn pt2

Happy Easter everyone! In Romania we're just celebrating it this week.

I know I've been neglecting this blog quite a bit, but I've been focusing on some music projects lately.

We're having such a warm and amazing spring in Paris! Everything is scented and in bloom and all the parks are full of daffodils and magnolias and people having picnics.

I took a friend to the Jardin Albert Kahn  last week, which reminded me about this photo shoot from last summer.

I never got around to sharing the rest of the photos, so here is a couple from the same series.

The ones in the Foret Vosgienne make me feel like I'm in an Edwardian postcard, like those I sometimes find aux puces.

The beautiful Partie de Campagne dress I'm wearing is still available in the shop, ready to fulfill your early 20th century fantasies.

Have a lovely spring!

Film Hedonism: DJing outfits pt II

 

It's been a while since my first post on the subject, but I kinda feel like I have to return to the topic : DJing clothes!

Sure, for guys it's super easy - jeans/slacks + tees. Or maybe a button up shirt if they're feeling fancy.

But the truth is clubs are insanely HOT places  (and somehow the DJ booth seems to be the worst with all the gear and stuff heating up; it was like a sauna when I went to Monseigneur!! I mean COME ON GUYS!!!) so you need summery things that you can layer since you don't get a dressing room where you can change - they should make that a rule tho!

So the easiest thing for me is simply wearing not too warm tights that I could eventually take off + those trusty American Apparel dresses. I really hope they don't discontinue this one, it's like my uniform!

I like the short sleeved version too, but the shoulders are cut too wide and the sleeves keep coming down.

And their Gloria V bodysuit is also a nice option for slightly colder nights.

+big plus - they're still one of the few companies who make things in COTTON! 

Clubbing is kinda like going to the gym but trying to look good - when you're breaking a sweat in a club you know you MUST have something made from natural fibers!

It's either cotton or silk for me and the occasional cashmere sweater/ vintage kimono/ shirt cover up before things heat up.

In terms of shoes it's mostly flats - ankle boots in the winter and Keds in the summer - except when I play Candelaria and bring my comfy Swedish Hasbeens clogs because the bar is waaay too high for me and I actually like to see what I'm doing.

And last but not least - I do enjoy wearing a watch like all the time and some sort of necklace/belt - they instantly transform those super simple dresses!

UUUh and let's not forget silk vintage slips! But that's a whole other story ;).

Until then... enjoy and do share your own going out/partying outfit tips!

Winter Yodel - pre-spring 2015 look book

Days are growing longer. The snow starts to melt. Little plants and herbs start popping up again.

Between the grey, rainy days, sudden gusts of wind and the occasional cold, one thing is for sure - winter will be over soon.

It's time to put away our heavy coats and slowly transition into sweater weather. Of course, we stil have the full month of February ahead, but wouldn't it be nice to actually enjoy the last bits of winter in pretty clothes instead of couting the days?

And what could be more appropriate than handmade, 40s-inspired Austrian cardigans to keep yus going?

I have to admit - these were shot on a particularly warm day in December during my trip back to Romania, but I stand by my choice of using the wild landscape of Moldavia instead of the overly-trimmed Parisian parks.

It just makes me think of vacationing in the Alps, horseback riding and 19th century hunting trips.

For the first time, the look book was shot entirely on film.

This mini-collection has six beautiful austraian cardigans, an adorable hand knit hearts sweater and a super cool cape. 

All will be in the shop next week. Stay tuned!
