Summertime

Ok you all heard or experienced the lack of summer this year in western and northern Europe.. looks like this time is out now and summer has finally arrived !
I can stop try to fit my umbrella in my tiny bags and take out my sandals !
Now time to work on the tan..

Love,

Rue Etienne Marcel - Paris

Two lovers

"My bag is too heavy, would you hold it for me ?"

We all know the bigger your bag is, the more clutter you'll have, but if you have a lovely boyfriend like him to carry it then your problem is solved.

Aren't they lovely ? Her grace and the movement in this picture makes me want to love even more !

Style wise, they did a good job matching their colors - different tones of blue and brown.

If you have her body, for the bottom, nothing better than a vintage denim poom poom shorts ! for the top and to cover what needs to be covered, just a floral bustier.

Casual and too cute ! but what those lovebirds wear the best is love.

5 Incredible days in Basque country..

Based in Biarritz, we had the chance to drive to San Sebastian (40 mins) and Fontarabi - a fishing village 30mins away by car and 8mins of ferry.

Amazing country, warm people, delicious food, it was just perfect. I strongly recommend this place to anyone for a long week end.

We spent our first day in San Sebastian - officially called Donostia in basque - I had my first surf lesson and apparently did well :)

The city is so chilled, tapas everywhere, surfers on the beach, skateboarding kiddos, sea, sun, what else ?

While visiting the city, we walked into a demonstration for the Basque country independence and that's when I really felt the difference between this region's culture and identity, and the rest of Spain.

After a yummy typical fish dish on the Conca, we drove back to Biarritz totally enchanted.

Biarritz... mmh, I'll be back to you soon ! Even though we were in France, I felt in such a different scene. The perfect archetype surfers place, we were there during a Roxy competition that took place in the famous Côte des Basques (most famous coast for surf), so there was a real energy there.

Biarritz is a succession of beautiful and wide beaches where even if you're not a surfer and never surfed  in your life, you'll feel the need to at least try.

Luckily we were staying at my friend's house, as good locals they are they took really good care of us and showed us the best places to eat and drink, thanks again to all of you !

Must say that my favourite place of this trip - food wise - was in Fontarabi. My friend took us there for our last night, the place is called Ardoka, best tapas I've ever had. The restaurant is located in a typical Spanish street, we ate outside on a wine barrel, à la basque !

In the menu : grilled basque pepper, Jamon Iberico, fried calamari, individual tapas of foid gras à la plancha, mini pieces of beef, Xipiron and squid ink risotto, Bacalao and many more.. Everything we had was good !

So if you ever spend a long week end or holiday in this area, you must make a detour to this place, you won't be disappointed !

I'm now back to Paris, with loads of souvenirs of the great times I had there, and would definitly go back during another season for a real visit of the old basque city.

Hope those pictures will make you want to go !

Love,

Irena and her bracelets

Irena is my parents's good friend, she's a fashion designer, more famous as Irena Gregori. 

She also creates and designs jewell, but what she does the best is hunt vintage and new pieces and wear them all together. 

A mix of gold and silver chains, with tipycal basque bracelets (silver ones on the top), random bracelets found in markets and shops in Paris.

Gorgeous !

Street style #9

Berlin calling !

Like a super style angel, walking in Paris with her super style friends, realised she was with them only when she walked away !
Was looking for this skirt everywhere and finally found it ! Got even more excited when I saw her wearing it !
Notice the customized converse on the right guy AND his neon Keffiyeh printed t-shirt ! Yes, Yes YES !

Super-position

Each summer, I reset my wrist style (and I'm sure I'm not the only one), winter doesnt inspire me that much for some reason..

This summer is the big revival of the beloved friendship bracelets I used to make when I was a kid.. I actually reconnected with this activity this year with my brand MINE

Add to that my obssesion of ethnic items (probably inspired by the environnement I live in), some thin gold chain bracelets and colored nails, here you go ! ready for summer !

Rue Montorgueuil

DIY detail : Safety pins 

Woow.. Even better together !
I noticed these two beautiful creatures of style a week ago during Paris men's fashion week and just got super excited to share this shot.
Watching this picture sends me straight to another dimension, they almost look like they have come from another century - a mix of urban romantism and neo classicism - in fact, they hail from modern day Manchester, with style..


What an enthralling allure ! Love it.

Chain chain chain...

...She's not a fool but just a trendy girl.

This summer chains are EVERYWHERE, stitched on frienship bracelets, bags, clothes, shoes..
Not easy to wear XXL chains but this girl did it pretty well, and x2 is even better..
(good point to not mix it with millions of other bracelets)

Modern, simple, just beautiful,

Bravo !

Happy week end !

Chez Miki

Food experience of the day : Japanese bento at chez Miki

If i could try everything, I would defintely do it..
Really cute little place (16 cutlery) hidden behind the Louvois square in the 2nd arrondissement and runned by Miss Ayako and her assistant, really nice and serious - japanese way.
Been there for lunch, special menu, a very healthy and hearty dish in a bento (comes with a soup and white rice) for 15€, just choose the main dish between marinated sardines, fried salmon tartare sauce (dish in the picture) shrimp rolls, miso marinated beef tenderloin and a few more.
For dinner, their black slate offers a few delights : Turbot carpaccio, squid sashimis (mmmmh), famous dried shrimps pasta, spicy pasta with octopus and egg fish, fried pork with garlic and shizo etc.. Around 30€ to 35€ à la carte, but it's definetly worth the price !

Writting about it makes me salivate..
Love x

ps : Try the matcha tea!
