LATELY...

plans for a shoot

involving plenty of tulle, top hats 

& powdered cheeks

still feeling the rhythm,

dance, soul, joy, warmth & beauty

from last night's concert in my hood

with Nouvelle Vague 

and opening Liset Alea,

who was so incredible, too.

A Parisian glow landed in Helsinki for the night

and I'm not gonna let it go...




I've also been feasting my eyes
on this apartment,
and these boho spaces.



And I thank you for your Monday moment
here with me
~  wishing you plenty of light & love
for the week ahead.

À L'HÔTEL

Our rooftop hideaway with a view. 

The days began with breakfast 

over a steamy pot of coffee pour moi

& pot of thick, creamy hot chocolate pour elle,

always served up with a beaming smile. 

A pleasure to share 

this time with my girl,

who seems to share my love 

for the city of light. 

À bientôt, Paris.

PAR{AD}IS

a few cherished days with my girl

in Par(ad)is...

oohing & aahing on our little balcony

overlooking the Tuileries gardens

with its showers of magnolia petals

& scent of cherry blossoms

filling the morning air.

Other glimpses here ~  

Pont des Arts may be

weighing heavy with love locks,

but Parisians are inventive. 

Street art & writings under bridges 

 put a smile on the face

and serve as heartfelt reminders 

of the joy & beauty of life,

even in the face of sadness 

that has struck both there & close by

so recently. 

PARIS GREY

I may not be visiting Paris anytime soon,

but I now have a Paris grey table.
Chalk paint was a nice experiment,

fast-drying,

no headache-inducing odours.


I said goodbye to my regular morning job

a month or so ago,

& I'm  in the honeymoon stage

of being a full-time freelancer & free spirit.

Getting to paint a table,

 sort a cupboard,

pop over to pilates

in between jobs

in the middle of a quieter day

if I so wish. 

If you fancy a virtual escapade to Paris,

you can pop over here.

VISITE PRIVÉE

The Socialite Family

continues to satiate my never-ending love affair

with Parisian apartments...
