I am always pinning on pinterest. Always. Everyday I look at some of my favorite blogs and pin what I like from the blogs. Most of the pictures on my blog come from Pinterest. I look through my pins and have noticed that my style remains pretty consistent with a timeless look and of course there is always something a little bohemian funky thrown in there when I a feeling wild.

Chanel Fall/Winter 2012-2013
About a week ago I was looking at one of my favorite fashion blogs Fashionista and saw that the Paris winter 2012 collection fashion week was at the end of June/ beginning of July. While looking at the Paris Fashion Week website I found that the Resort/Spring 2013 collections were going to be debuted one of the first weeks after I arrive in Paris. Of course I will not have one of the coveted passes to get into these amazing shows, but if you are in Paris you can find me in le Jardin de Tuileries with my camera admiring all of the fashionistas wandering about in between shows.
As many of you know, one of my favorite fashion houses is Chanel. I am absolutely obsessed with Karl Lagerfeld's Fall/Winter 2012/2013 collection. He said that with this collection he wanted a mix between vintage and modern Chanel and I believe he accomplished that.
With this show, Lagerfeld has a perfect blend of classic Chanel and modern Chanel, which will excite all Chanel lovers.

Book Envy
Just recently I made the mistake of reading a fabulously fun book entitled Paris, My Sweet by Amy Thomas. This is the story of a woman who travels to Paris to work on the advertising committee of Louis Vuitton. Of course that is basically heaven for me. She describes her time in the city through all of her favorite patisseries she visited.
Her memoir made me so excited to finally be over in Paris and have my own experiences find my favorite cafes and secret places to visit. I am just two short months away from being there and I cannot wait to start my travels!

Post-Grad
This past week has held a whirlwind of emotions for me. Friday the 11th I graduated from UGA (wahoo!) but shortly after that the thought of leaving my friends and my beloved Athens quickly hit me. Monday morning came faster than I thought and before I knew it I was saying goodbye to my friends. We are all so excited for our bright futures, but sad to leave everything comfortable and what we love behind. Now, I am back home in Marietta for the summer before leaving for PARIS at the end of August. I am working at a local boutique in Marietta which has GREAT clothes. I am so happy to see what the future has in store for me and cannot wait for the end of August to be here already!!

Favorite Movies
With finals this week I have been needing a lot of me time so I've been watching some of my favorite movies to keep my spirits up. Of course, both of them have to do with Paris, but even if you haven't been to Paris you MUST watch these movies.
Amelie: it's a French movie but nominated for many Oscars because it is that good. English subtitles of course. It is a very different kind of screenplay but you can't help but fall in love with the characters.
Another one of my favorites of course is Midnight in Paris. I am obsessed with the story line (which I won't spoil here) and I love all of the sights in Paris they show. There is even a little shop in there that my family and I have visited before. It has all of the landmarks Paris has to offer.
These two movies keep on getting me more and more excited to move over to Paris and live my dream. I cannot wait to be over there!!
