W.O.W. Pick: Merci Merci

J'ai la chance d'avoir une grande soeur, mais en plus j'ai la chance d'avoir une grande soeur qui habite à Paris (ou sur Paris comme elle dirait). Elle est ma source secrète de tout ce qui se passe à Paris.

Aujourd'hui, je partage avec vous ce qu'elle m'a confié tout dernièrement. La fameuse boutique Merci est maintenant en ligne! 

Pour ceux qui y sont déjà allés, le nouveau site aide à apaiser l'attente jusqu'à votre prochaine visite. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, c'est une introduction à une des meilleures boutiques. 

Le site est bien, mais n'équivaut certainement pas à une visite en personne. 

Merci à ma chère collaboratrice parisienne pour partager avec les lecteurs de W.O.W. son fameux carnet d'adresses. 

MERCI

Office Chic: Ze Trench

Finding your perfect trench is like finding your perfect Starbucks drink. Tall, short, mocha, hot chocolate, the list goes on. The trick is you gotta try different ones before finding the perfect one, especially if you're vertically-challenged like me and were not going for the Inspector Gadget look. 

Professionnelle à la recherche d'un imperméable disponible pour de nombreuses balades printanières. Il doit être ceintré, pas trop long, pas trop court, pas trop de boutons, la bonne couleur, sérieux et décontracté, et au bon prix. Si vous êtes croyez être 'Ze One', veuillez me laisser un commentaire à ce post. Merci!

Office Chic: French Vogue Editors

French Vogue Editors are known for their effortless look. If you want to try it, it's quite easy: take 1 pair of skinny pants, add 1 blazer, mix in pointy shoes, tousled hair and minimal makeup. A classic recipe that will stand the test of time. 

Office Chic: Minty Fresh

The latest Family Fridays inspired me for this week's Office Chic feature. Mint is an unusual color to wear, but it looks great with black and grey, my two favorite colors, so I'm already sold. Plus my favorite ice cream flavor is mint, so I'm double-sold.
Try it, I think you will like it too.

W.O.W. Pick: DVF Loves Roxy

My teenage years were all about dreaming to be a surfer. Turns out, lemon juice on black hair makes it orange, so the natural blonde highlights part didn't really work out for me. But Roxy bikinis got me a little closer to the beach bum lifestyle, that and the movie Blue Crush (when Kate Bosworth actually had muscles).

A New Way to Think Pink

This room has just the right dose of vintage, modern and bling bling.
Don't you just want to take nap on that soft Womb chair.

Office Chic: Burgundy Lion

Burgundy is an understated color that will fit well with all the black you have in your wardrobe.

Office Chic: Florals

With daylight savings, we get to do a full day of work and pick the kids up at daycare when there's still daylight. Gotta love it.
Here's some inspiration to get ready for spring. Sprinkle some floral prints into your work wardrobe without looking like a wallflower.

Family Fridays: Loft Living in Greenwich Village

A new series for you to enjoy every Friday. A pleasure for me to share with you my favorite family spaces, where kids and good design can live happily ever after.

Hope you like it!

Deux c'est mieux

I have a confession to make. I can't carry just one bag to work. I usually need two, and maybe three if it's gym day. A small one to sneak out for a quick lunch time shopping trip. A bigger one to hold my lunch bag, a magazine, diapers, toy cars and some snacks in case of a kid tantrum. Here's my favorite two-timing combo right now. The Gap, meet your new little sister, The Row.

The Morning After

Forgive me right away for the misleading title and the stylish outfit. This post ain't about 'The Morning After a Fabulous Night Out with your Friends', it's more about 'The Morning after the Whole Week the Kids had the Flu'.

Fortunately for us, the same sloppy chic style applies. After a week of runny noses, saline nasal mist mania and minimal sleep, this outfit might even make you look forward to the next round, which is in about 7-10 days if you're lucky.

Flu season officially started for us last week with both kids being sick back to back. This meant pushing all work deadlines until the last minute and finally waking up at 4 am on Friday to prepare for an 8 am presentation.

WOW tip:  A gorgeous bag like this Celine one helps take the attention away from a less desirable kind of bag, the under eye ones.
