^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Chinese New Year in Paris^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This time won't be about fashion itself, but about an event.  It was so colorful and inspiring that I decided to share it with you. 

Chinese New Year in Paris has become one of the city's most popular annual events. Paris has a large and thriving French-Chinese community whose cultural influence grows stronger all the time. Parisians of all stripes eagerly crowd the streets of South Paris each year to witness a cheerful procession of dancers and musicians, vibrantly-hued dragons and fish, and elegant flags embossed with Chinese characters.

What you can get for 4 euros:)

Great deals always make me happy. Of course buying a luxury, expensive item would make me happy too, but having sth what you like for little money, in my opinion, gives more joy;)

 
I bought this belt in my favourite parisian second-hand. It's genuine leather. Costed me only 1 euro!

 

I've always wanted to have T-shirt like that, but it's difficult to get one. I found this cotton bag in H&M on sale for 3 euros.

WINTER was cruel this season. we hardly had been meeting with girls and days runned faster then they should... Everybody had so much duties and promises to fulfill that we've almoust forgot about our dearest. And  time pass has no mercy.. Two weeks ago I decided to take a walk with Martyna through familiar places in neighbourhood and stop for a while just to enjoy our existance. Take a look how the sunday sun brought back memories and helped us to cope with present situation.

My Muse is wearing cobalt hat from atmosphere and white gloves (a gift from mum). This wonderful grey jacket is from vintage shop. I need to add that Martyna is one of the few person which I love taking photo of !. Her self confidence and spontaneity in front of lens is pure pleasure for an amatour photographer :)

Pleated skirt & Hunters

There was nobody at home to document my outfit so I made the picture like you see it - with my friend mirror :) I work in marketing departament so I don't have to follow business attire so much. I put my Hunter wellingtons on and went to work with a smile, although it was raining. I just love them!

  Now it's still a bit cold, but I can wear them with warm, cotton tights.

Ballerinas - no name, bought in one of the parisian little boutiques 

This nail ornament I got from Maggie :) To lable our nails? Why not? :P

LOAFERS!

One word for my spring/summer 2011: A MUST! :)

I think I will go for classic Tommy Hilfiger models. Which pair would you choose?

Baby Shower!!!

We made a Baby Shower for Martyna and her little born-to-be Gabrielle last Thursday and I really can't remember when I had so much fun with girls last time! It was a little surprise for Martyna, 'cause we decorated my and Patrick's place with pink and pearl balloons and prepared small healthy catering. We were sipping wine and for Martyna we provided non-alcoholic bubbles (so hard to open!). Also she had to guess the taste of baby jar food :) 

Ania prepared quizes with pregnant celebrities and young stars (gosh! sometimes I am a true blonde!) and Martyna II (nickname: Trol, curly dark hair) brought muffins to make. We decorated them - so much fun! My sister Agatha ( the lovely red head :)  had earrings perfect for this occasion! 

And last but not least - we made dolls for Gabrielle and a charm bracelet for Mommy Martyna - we collected vintage beads and every of them was put on a thread with a wish for Gabrielle straight from our hearts.

All the best for Martyna the Mommy ! :*
