“Voilà ce qu’on fait le tout premier jour à Paris.

On se prend de la pluie. Pas du crachin mais une bonne vieille averse.

Puis on se trouve quelqu’un de vraiment agréable, et on traverse le Bois de Boulogne en taxi.

La pluie y est pour beaucoup. Parce qu’elle donne à Paris une délicieuse odeur.

Ce sont les marronniers humides.”

Audrey hepburn dans Sabrina.

-

Music: Soko - it’s raining outside

-

“This is what you do on your very first day in Paris.

You get yourself some rain, not just a drizzle but honest-to-goodness rain.

Then you find yourself someone really nice, and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi.

The rain’s very important, because that’s when Paris smells its sweetest.

It’s the damp chestnut trees, you see.”

Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina.

Très beau gilet. Et ça à l’air très confortable aussi. J’adore la pluie à Paris, l’odeur est vraiment merveilleuse, et la ville devient grise et triste, mais tellement belle.

Mais qu’est ce quelles sont belles tes photos! Toutes. Pas seulement cette série. Les autres aussi!
Dis moi, c’est toi qui te prends en photo avec un retardateur? Si oui, as-tu une technique particulière pour faire la mise au point sur toi? Moi je n’y arrive pas, soi c’est le fond qui est net et moi flou, soit tout est net. Mais le fond flou et moi net ;.. j’y arrive pas…

Sabrina + cette chanson de Soko, pile dans mes propres références…
Ton look donne presque envie qu’il pleuve ; d’ailleurs, lorsque c’est le cas, je préfère rester chez moi, avec délice !
Ce short vintage est magique. Tu en fais ce que tu veux ! A Paris comme en Californie il est parfait.
Bonne fin de semaine Alix ! ^^

Alix, j’aime, j’adore les photos, l’effet de couleur ,la première celle ou tu as le pied sur la fenêtre, et celle ou tu regarde vers le bas, ta coiffure bien faite , avec le maquillage de tes yeux…et celle ou tu regardes l’objectif, avec un regard sombre…
J’aime moins le short, mais si je me trompe pas , t’as des collants là??
Parce aussi et surtout, tes jambes…tes jambes……tes jambes!!!!! elles sont si belles…

It’s also to wash away the dog poo right? :) I heard there was no law to pick up dog poop in Paris.

C’est pour laver les rues aussi, n’est pas? J’ai entendu il n’y a pas un loi pour ramasser la merde de chien en Paris!!

Oh, is it still warm enough for bare legs in Paris? Copenhagen had first snow a few days ago, and I miss wearing shorts without tights underneath quite terribly :(

Love the outfit (the cut-offs!) and especially lighting - there always seems to be a soothing calm about your images <3

J’ai beau ne pas être très fan du gilet et du short, et bien ils te vont à ravir, tu gardes ta douceur et ton élégance, ce qui est à mon avis un petit miracle !
Et merci encore pour les liens musicaux, en général je lance la musique avant de lire le post. L’ambiance créée est toujours parfaitement cohérente… et surtout simplement sublime.

What an absolutely charming blog! I just discovered you thru Craig’s post: how did I not find this lovely blog before??

I shoot street style, mainly in London, but next time I’m in Paris would love to shoot you - at the very least @ fashion week. If you have a moment please take a look @ my blog:streetstylelondon.blogspot.com & let me know if you’d like to swap. Who takes the photos? Do you do it on a timer?

Funny, I”ve been posting on leopard print all week long.

The pictures of the houses, the roofs are just wonderful… (The others of you are also gorgeous, of course ^^)

But oh god, the houses… If this is where you live, you sure are lucky. Those beautiful colors; the rain only makes them prettier, in my eyes (after all, when rain is a good ol’ downpour, and not some annoying drizzle, it has a lot of charm to it, don’t you think?)
