Bonjour my dear readers,
This is my first ever blog post. I have long wanted to create a space where I could simply write about fashion and discuss it with others. Although this is nowhere near my area of expertise (I am an IB French Teacher by day), it has always been a passion of mine.
I love fashion, period.
Some may say that I am a fashionista and a shopaholic. My bank account would agree as would my husband. However, I am all about balance in life. Although I am constantly shopping, I often purchase classic and timeless pieces at reasonable prices.
My wedding dress for example was both timeless and classic. My dress and style were an ode to one of my favourite classic styles: Old Hollywood Glamour. That era was known for its elegance and luxury and has stood the test of time. Until this day, we see traces of old Hollywood in fashion, architecture, movies and theme parties. I mean this years’ Prom theme is ‘Hollywood Glam’ and two years ago was ‘The Great Gatsby’.
My dress was very simple but it was well fitted and 100% crepe silk. I purchased this dress for 1400 CAD, which is an amazing price compared to how much most brides pay. This allowed me to add on some beautiful statement pieces like my headpiece and my glorious Badgley Mischka shoes.
This classic silhouette will never go out of style and my dress can easily be altered (I am planning on cutting it this summer). My favourite part of this dress was the covered buttons all along the back AND down the train. This will always be my dream dress and the perfect example of my personal style: classic and chic.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog
à la prochaine
bisous, bisous
