Chic Preset – The Cappuccino Collection – French Roast

“Paris…when we met, I felt my life begin. So open up your heart, and let this fool rush in…”

  I’m practically floating on air with happiness in this shot, which was taken at Place Vendóme in the 1st district of Paris. Chanel, Dior…and many other prominent fashion houses stand confidently before me as I dance around this 17th century square. The lamp posts and gilded architecture have me swooning with excitement! I can’t help but flash a slightly mischievous smile as I take in my iconic surroundings. Every time I come back to Paris, I am reminded of the reasons that drew me here in the first place. Originally, it was the way that Paris was portrayed in the movies. Parisians appeared to be effortless, chic and full of character. Every scene showed a city and a way of life that was built on beauty and passion! The first time I visited, I found that the portrayal that I had seen on screen had been absolutely accurate, if not understated! There were lovers holding hands, fashionistas gliding down the street and a different pace of life than I had been used to. One that made time for indulgence, and the pursuit of personal pleasure! Having experienced Paris again, I find that the things that draw me in now are: the cafés, the flower markets, the rooftops, the Seine river and the je ne sais quoi attitude that you seem to adopt while you are there. The quote above was taken from the Doris Day song “Fools rush in” and I thought it was quite appropriate for the occasion. Since my first trip to Paris, I have been a fool in love. And not just any kind of love, the type where you rush in and give yourself over to it…mind body and soul. I have so much to tell you about my Parisian adventures and I can’t wait to show you some of the brilliant photos we were able to capture. This first of which features two of my very favourite things…pastel balloons and the Eiffel Tower. Visit me on Monday for the first of many posts showcasing our adventures. Until then…as always…sweet dreams until sun beams find you!
