Une fille, un sac…..La Tropezienne tote bag

Yesterday, we had a bit of fun shooting our gorgeous French intern Marion who after two months with us, is now leaving at the end of this week to go back studying.Ahh Marion…..adorable, efficient, helpful, legs to die for, a fabulous sense of style that got me thinking 3 times a week …’ummm I like that!’I’m talking fur (fake of course) sleeveless jacket on top of a stylish black blazer, jeans shorts paired with biker boots…White romantic top on skinny jeans….Marion rocked the ‘rock chick look’ big time. Coming over for a 2-month internship with us, she brought no less than 4 handbags in her luggage (and she will go back with a gift from us that will make it 5) so of course, it was pretty obvious that she would be the perfect girl to model the black version of La Tropezienne tote bag. And as I was looking at all the shots and this gorgeous black La Trop unpacked, I was wondering if it would be really indecent to treat myself with the …

Published by BODIE and FOU Style Blog

Imke’s photos are always making me feel calm….I discovered her last year when I came across this beautiful shot called ‘Jeune Fille Rural’ below and since then have been hooked on her photographic style and stylism.

Last week I promised I would put together a Morabito – inspired mood board so here it is…Achieving her simple, timeless, inspiring style is not just a matter of painting a room in white and adding a few white accessories.Bearing in mind also that not everyone is married to an artist like her late husband and Architect Yves Bayard was, it also a bit more challenging to achieve the Morabito look if you do not live in a contemporary home with concrete floors, superb volumes, high ceilings and natural light.However challenging it is, this is not impossible if you have at least wooden floorboards (and maybe if we really really want to stretch it….laminate flooring..argh..just writing ‘laminate flooring’ makes me cringe).Ok let’s run with it because I’m aware that a lot of property developers didn’t refurbish their investments with Morabito’s style in mind.So of course the first thing to do is to paint all the walls in white which will not only create a blank canvas but will bring a beautiful, natural light to the …
