Paris has been unseasonably cold and rainy for the last month, leaving me with no other choice than to rock my winter tights and dream of sunshine that I can enjoy, bare-legged.

These adorable heart-shaped YSL tights are the perfect part of transition tights: fun enough to pair with summery dresses while still offering some coverage from this unseasonably cold temperatures. In light of the new name change over at chez Yves Saint Laurent, it may be time to get your hands on some whimsical (and almost giraffe-like) printed tights before YSL becomes simply, Saint Laurent Paris.

At 35€, on sale, they're a splurge but an adorable and completely necessary purchase, since I'm guessing you don't already own a pair. Paired with a classic black ensemble and a bold red purse, these suckers add a subtle touch of sass. 


xoxo.

A self confessed hair idiot, I've been wearing the same Sienna Miller-inspired side bangs since high school, and regularly leave the house without brushing my hair. So you'll forgive me for only now jumping on the fish-tail braid bandwagon.

I love this tutorial from thebeautydepartment, co-founded by every girl's fashion icon, Lauren Conrad. Besides being constantly flawless, she's been setting the trend in hair braiding ever since her days on the guilty-pleasure Laguna Beach, single handedly inspiring girls around the world to french braid their side bangs. (At last, a chic way to grow out your fringe!)


My favorite styles have to be the two side braids, top left corner, for being so effortlessly cool.

How adorable are these letter-shaped birthday donuts?! While searching through some newly updated pins, I spied these delectable looking treats. As it just so happens, my mother turns "35" today. Oh, youth.  If you're still hungry, there are many more delicious pins in store.

Happy Birthday & Bonne Anniversaire to my lovely and inspiring maman!

Springtime in Paris has finally arrived, and the fleurs are in bloom. After patiently waiting five frozen months, succumbing to parisian peer pressure and wearing tights under shorts, and wearing sweaters in May, skirt day hit land last Thursday. 





In the spirit of a cliche springtime in Paris, I paired a lightweight chambray top with a new favorite piece: a high waisted lace cream skirt. My latest obsession, the rentable Parisian bike system: Velib, has got me pedaling almost daily along the Seine, an easy and beautiful ride. The most enchanting part is how in the early afternoon, the sunlight bounces off of the water and onto the nearby buildings. In honor of this, I find myself wearing more jewelry and sparkles than ever before.



Just a few blocks from the Metro station St-Paul, this colorful shop always catches my eye with their latest window displays. At first drawn to the rainbow-organized rows of trim and ribbons, I fell in love with the spool-legged bookshelf: the perfect mix of whimsy and practicality. Now if only I had the space for it!
