Beauty's nest

Here are a few shots taken on a peaceful Saturday afternoon spent with my boyfriend. Cameras held in hand...we wandered in the beautiful old city of Byblos...watched the sunset, the fishermen and the sailors. We mistakenly found this seaside house, embraced by plants and leaves...abandoned by humans, protected by nature. 

"Nor need we power or splendor, wide hall or lordly dome; the good, the true, the tender, these form the wealth of home"

Plumes et Dentelles : Chantal Thomass and Ellen Von Unwerth

Starring Rosie Huntington and Melissa Rose Haro, Plumes & Dentelles is a collaborative project between French lingerie designer Chantal Thomass and the fashion photographer Ellen Von Unwerth.

Ellen Von Unwerth is one of the most talented artists in erotic photography. 

She has explored almost every form of art such as photography, advertising, fashion... she has also done editorials and directed music videos.

Her photographs communicate sensuality, desire, feminism and beauty... The picture becomes a sort of play where every detail can change the whole perception of the context. 

Truly eye candy... Enjoy!

The Repetto Boutique

 

I used to be a ballet dancer for 10 years, and looking at the showcase of The Repetto Boutique made me wonder why I ever stopped. There is nothing more elegant than a ballerina, dancing as smoothly and lightly as a feather swirling in the air. 

The tutu's, the ballerinas, the pearls and the feathers create a perfect romantic atmosphere. The window of the shop is so beautiful and royal that it looks like a doll shop where every little girl's dream can come true.

Address: 22 Rue De La Paix, 752002 , Paris, France

Love me tender, love me sweet!

The kiss that inspired the world...

A tribute for Robert Doisneau the great Parisian photographer, taken in the Paris of 1950, this picture has become a worldwide symbol for lovers.

Doisneau is known for his spontaneous photographs, the ones showing anonymous people doing simple things in life. He wanted everyone to notice that happiness is in the little things, in the smallest stupid details. Exceptionally, "Le baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville" wasn't taken by mistake, it was set up. 

Lovers from everywhere, started to pretend that it was them in the picture and requested some privacy rights. The real lovers of the picture, remained silent until just now. The young lady in the picture admitted that it was Doisneau who asked them to pose for him.

Only few know the mystery behind the legendary photograph. I mean, let's face it, knowing the truth would break the magic of that moment. 

A moment written in history forever symbolizing the joy of the Paris, long lost by the depressing period of the occupation. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Le Baiser de l'Hôtel De Ville

Feels like whipped cream!

I wanted to wear something special on New year's Eve, so I decided to make my own evening top.

Pink and Black have always been my favorite colors. So I took a simple black long sleeved top and sewed pink crystals around the collar, then added shoulder pads on the sides. A pink veil coated the whole back and the shoulders like it was covered with whipped cream. 

People's reactions were various, some called me a princess, some Lady Gaga, well...I was noticed.

They were also many critics, some told me that they wouldn't dare wearing such a thing or simply that the veil ruined it. 

After all it was New Year's Eve, an occasion to go wild and wear whatever you want!

The Vow

It's the story of a married couple Leo and Paige, insanely in love with each other. She's an artist a sculptor and he has a recording studio downtown. The couple goes through a car accident causing Paige the loss of her memory. She doesn't know who Leo is, she doesn't remember the place where she used to live, neither that she's an artist. On the contrary, all she remembers is the life she had before meeting Leo, the life where her dad wanted her to go to Law School, where she was engaged to a certain Jeremy, where she had a completely different lifestyle. She forgot that the reason she stopped talking to her parents for five years is because she refuted this life she had, and wanted to be an artist and marry the love of her life "a once in a lifetime love". 

When the parents of Paige learn about the accident, they take advantage of it and try to rewrite her life like they always wanted it to be. 

Leo is devastated, he is a complete stranger to her. He tries to make her remember, he shows her their wedding video, makes her listen to recordings of her own voice... Nothing seems to work.

And it's really sad because we see him struggling against the pain of losing his wife forever while trying everything to get back the life they used to have. She's alive, but she doesn't know who she is.

He looks at her every night but he cannot touch her, he cannot hold her, he cannot make love to her.

So he decides instead to try to make her fall in love with him all over again...

The story is inspired by true events, but it's really sad, because she'll never recover her memory.

Sometimes we don't lose the ones we cherish most when they die. The presence of a person is not physical but also spiritual.. They can still be here but in reality they're gone and that's the worst feeling on earth...

"I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love."
-Leo-

"I hope one day I can love the way you love me."
-Paige-

"How do you look at the girl you love and tell yourself its time to walk away?"
-Leo-

"Life's all about moments of impact, and how they change our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?"
-Leo

"I need to make my wife fall in love with me again."
-Leo-
