VERHALEN UIT PARIJS, MODE & LIFESTYLE
Everyone has his/her favorite shoes. When I was a teenager I bought my first All Star and since then it’s one of my favorite sneakers. Then I got the news that this sneaker celebrates its 100th anniversary. 100!! I didn’t know about this and I indulge myself in the history of this fashionable shoe by means of this beautiful infographic which is created by Kortingsbox.
Welcome to a new edition of Instagram Photo Diary November! How does my life looked like besides working and blogging this month? On Instagram I share my favourite places, home inspiration, fashion inspiration and nature. Everything what inspires me!
Mademoiselle Vintage Boutique in Nice. When I was in Nice last September, I got the opportunity to shoot in this wonderful boutique. I could stay for hours! To fit all the Chanel jackets, to admire myself in the pink Dior dress and walk on Chanel shoes. This shoot is one I am very proud of and I don not say that often to myself 🙂
A sunny morning after so much rainy days…it’s cold but that don’t bother me. I am going to Amsterdam. It’s too long ago! I have a few ideas for blog posts about Amsterdam so I take the train to my favorite Dutch city.
Autumn in Amsterdam…. the color change along the canals, the blue sky, just a perfect day to discover new things. Do you walk with me?
In the newspapers: “Parisian apartment discovered after 70 years with a priceless object inside!”
Months ago, I bought Paris Time Capsule by Ella Carey. I will warn you 🙂 This book is a real “page turner” and gave me a lot of reading pleasures. I couldn’t put it down…
Last September, I discovered a vintage shop in 41 Rue de France, near Hotel Negresco, named “Mademoiselle”. What I love about vintage is the story of the pieces. One of my favorite things to do is to discover new vintage shops and to take photos of the unique pieces. Especially the details. I never get tired of looking at it.
Vintage plays an important role in the book that I am writing. Vintage is very inspiring because of the story behind the item. Clothes, furniture, accessories. Who wore it? How was the life of this person? What was the feeling or emotion of the owner when he/she bought the item? For me, this questions are very inspiring and important to create a story behind the items.
That’s one reason why I love to go to vintage shops. Another reason is that I love to go on treasure hunting. I have a vintage wish list, which I will share another time. But I am looking forward to the moment that I will find these pieces!
Back to the Mademoiselle Vintage Shop in Nice. I will take you on my tour in this shop…
