French Bike

I found myself an awesome bike today. I am a true Portlander now (it only took me two years). I now have a vintage Peugeot Mixte bike. His name is Pierre and he is a stunning, vibrant blue! I have a stylish and functional ride now. And my lovely boyfriend is going to make sure he is running perfectly for me. Now I just need another sunny day in Portland.
This isn't my actual bike (looks just like Pierre though). I'll take a real picture of him soon.

Allure

I am reading the wonderful book "All You Need To Be Impossibly French: A Witty Investigation Into The Lives, Lusts, And Little Secrets Of French Women". I just finished the chapter on how French women view lingerie. It is a very fun read for any wannabe French girl.
Buy it here.

French women are so sophisticated, glamourous, and seductive. Here are some photos from one of my favorite French girl's fashion blog....Le Blog de Betty.
do you secretly long to be French too?
(or at least have an ounce of their style and class)

Yet another reason I wished I lived in France.

President Nicolas Sarkozy unveiled that all French museums are free to anyone under 25 or anyone who is  a school teachers. Yeah, I am jealous! Read the article here. Pedestrians walking by the Louvre Museum. All French youths ...

Want to dress more French????

I DO! Well, while over at Garance Dore I noticed that there was a Q&A with Joanna from A CUP OF JO about how to dress more French. It was very insightful. Here is one of my favorites. But check out the whole set of questions and answers right here

"Do French women wear lots of layers? They seem to…

I think the French woman does something what I refer to as “unconscious layering.” It’s an expression that I’ve just made up for the purpose of this interview because the French woman loves to use English phrases to sound cool.

So, the FW often pursues the art of unconscious layering. It comes from the very popular concept called ‘%$@&!-I-don’t-have-anything-to-wear-this-morning-i’ll-just-grab-whatever…’

Mais attention. When dressing up, she never forgets the sexy detail. Even if she’s a bit disorganized. So there goes the (too) short skirt, the tee that falls off a shoulder, etc…
