My Future Summer Home

Pretty isn't it? It used to belong to some chick named Marie Antoinette.... ;)

While on a little field trip to a place called "Versailles", I decided that you could throw one badass summer party at the palace. CAN YOU IMAGINE!??!

Yup... the "backyard".... not only would this be a fabulous place to hold a summer party- but once night hits lets talk about having one epic game of flashlight tag.... ya i know... i'm a genius.

the gardens ;) 

One section of the "backyard" had all of these amazing fountains... they said they used to have string quartets or full orchestras play for the royalty and their guests... At my bash? L.Gaga is gonna perform here...

Valarie took this pic of me... for such a badass place i had to have my badass face on ;)

Inside my summer home, a painting of the macaroon lover herself- Marie Antoinette. I was getting all artistic with the photograph... lets chat a second about the quantity of chandeliers in this place...

Beautiful, isn't it?

Of course this place is gorgeous- and OF COURSE I know understand why the French Revolution happened lol Your living in poverty and they are living like this? i get it...but I'm still planning a kick ass summer party here lol and whats a party without your good friends?

 

Look for your invite in the mail to this one of a kind bash... should be good times...

One Amazing Month

 

(my dorm)

HAPPY THURSDAY ;) 

The reason I moved over to Paris, France was to attend the Paris Fashion Institute. 

It truly was a one-of-a-kind experience and a beautiful month! We learned and experienced soooo much in a month its hard to explain it in words...so here are some pics ;)

Premere Vision expo that we attended in Paris. The newest in fabrics, colors, trends... amazing ;)

Having a little pre-party before going out for Stacey's birthday!!!! 

Here we are at "SHOWCASE"- a club underneath a bridge by the Eiffel Tower!

For our end of the seminar presentation, our class started a new brand and had to present everything about "Editorials"- our brand. We designed the collection, made a marketing, advertising and PR strategy, and presented it to all of our professors. Afterwards, we had a little party and said our Goodbyes... 

Molly, Me, and Valarie 

Giving my section of our presentation- talking about the advertising of our brand and design of our scarves ;)

I miss these girls so so so much- we are in tears when we took this pic bc we had to say "so long for now" ;( Nicole, Me, & valarie.

Here are some of the PFI ladies and I eating dinner one night. I dunno if I was really really hungry or maybe it was just the good company- but that dinner was DE-LISH!!  We bought a couple of roasted chickens and some sides and had a lovely dinner at the dorms! I miss these girls so much!!!!

Vogue Night Out Paris Style

Yes Yes I know...

I have been less then stellar about updating... Blame it on the bad internet in Europe, the chaos that is traveling, or life getting in the way... But why don't we focus on the good? I"M BACK! ;)

And yes I know what your thinking... we've heard this before... but honestly I can say I"M BACK for good! But we do have A LOT of catching up to do... So for the next week or so I will be recapping my time living in Paris (attending the Paris Fashion Institute), and the 3 week European Vacation. After we get through all that, I'll resume with daily blogs about Fashion, Life, Entertainment, Dance, etc...Look forward to a re-vamping of this blog ;)

LETS get back to September 10, 2009- VOGUE'S NIGHT OUT in PARIS, FRANCE!

What a fabulous evening it was! Walking from Chanel to Prada to Balenciaga...

Drinking champagne, eating macaroons, looking at fabulous clothing, and of course- PEOPLE WATCHING...

Obviously, Paris' Version of VNO was not as big as New York's VNO... But it was definitely a wonderful evening. The best part? Getting all dressed up with your good friends before hand!

(me, valarie, alice, and nicole)

And its never a good night out in Paris without some amazing Metro Photos!!!

(Stacey and I)

(yup if you squint, you'll see a guy in green with a microphone... he was serenading us -karaoke style-to a little josh groban... in broken english...with backup singers... to say the least it was AMAZING lol)

And how about this little sight that we randomly ran into?.... yup the first time I saw it in person!!

Come back tomorrow for more about my Paris trip ;)
