Happy Saturday#89
Happy Saturday, cats!
I hope you've been able to see the week go by, because for me it's been a flash in the pan, I went to bed on Monday night and it was already Saturday morning! It all happened so fast, so fast that I'm posting this week's look on a Saturday! And the worst thing is that next week, it's already June, can you believe it? I can tell you that if I catch the guy who makes the weeks disappear like that, he's going to have a bad time. I'm sure he's sitting on the remote control with the "fast forward" button pressed under his thigh! But I've decided to regain control of my daily life as of next week, by meditating every morning, just to regain a bit of brain bandwidth... Get back into good creative survival habits! To return to a more concrete subject than that hypothetical person playing with the remote control, today I'm posting the look of the week, photographed at Place Dalida in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
I knew absolutely nothing about this place and it was a real discovery: in just a few streets, it's no longer Paris but a small village in the South of France, and I love this city for that too. And by a stroke of luck, the weather was crazy, it was just spring but since I'd forgotten what it was like, I found it exceptional! So you're thinking, I look good in makeup and hair for a simple Happy Saturday, if I could look like this every Saturday morning... Actually, it was exceptional because I was lucky enough to collaborate with Lancôme for their latest launch, for their Grandiose liner. Varnished as I am, having my make-up done by Mikythe brand's Make-up Artist and styled by Sylvain Le Hen ! During the presentation I got to meet Lisa Eldridge, Lancôme's Creative Director for Make-up, this super influencer, blogger, youtuber, entrepreneur, so passionate and inspiring! What a journey! So, as dapper as I was, I thought it would be a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity and go make some images with her! Olitaxthe little prince of images...
On our way to Place Dalida, we came across the famous statue of the singer, and there I saw a group of tourists having their photo taken while groping her cleavage! She even has glossy breasts! It's become a place of pilgrimage, and it's even said that you have to make a wish before touching these breasts that you can't see... I was hallucinating, and then what, maybe it's the lucky charm of the mayors of France, on the eve of an election, with the Marianne in their office? A sort of kiss on the skull of Fabien Barthez ? A secret misogynistic ritual! So I'm hiding her breasts with this crazy lavender perfecto, which I find so beautiful and quirky (I have a holy horror of purple), and this lilac one might even reconcile me with the shade! I wore a pink one last week, a lilac one this week (both kindly lent to me), but I've fallen for a blue one at Zara (like half the female population of France), which you'll see soon. I find it twists any silhouette and if I were to be reincarnated in clothing, it would be in a perfecto, absolutely! So my advice is: use and abuse "perf" in your wardrobes, and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zones with color - it's now or never, it's everywhere!
I'm wearing a perfecto Schott lavender, an incredible blouse Manoush from the next collection that I borrowed from the brand (Thomas if you are reading me, my birthday is in 3 weeks...), Mon jean Samsoe Samsoe which I wear all the time, it's time I ordered another one (the cut is called Lisa, if that's not a sign) and espadrilles Asos, which I definitely need to buy in other colors. Lots of shopping ahead, I'll give you that! And on my eyes, the famous Grandiôse mirific sapphire liner (totally). I redid my make-up at home and the big plus of this product is that it dries almost instantly, so there are no marks on the eyelid. For those of you who can't wait, it's perfect... I give you a big kiss and I'll see you tomorrow for some dreamy scenery!
