. short and long .

Hello, hello, it's been so long. Yes, i know, just can't find no time for nothin'... Only today in my life's despair, i decided to cut my fringe off and straighten my hair, to see how it'd look. There is this very cute little haidresser in rue Mouffetard, so i gave it a go. Hope you like it. x

. froid .

Have a nice weekend. Here it's a the first crispy, fall, cold day. Wrap a blanket around my shoulders and sip tea is what i'll do...

.see far.

Stretch your neck further up, look at the future, look at the others, they are here for you, you are here for them too...

.alla finestra.

Sitting, the rays of the sun burning my back, it is a good feeling, a sort of rebirth. Paolo Conte sings into my ear, last night's lack of sleep makes me feel in a dreamy-drowsy way and I like it so.

Tra le tue Braccia

Scuserai
questo inverno di foglie
e i pensieri che
vanno scalzi per lontane vie
via da te...via da me...

è un privilegio stare con te,
dolce persona vicino a me

Sentirai tra le dita
il respiro e la voce mia
che ti invita al mare,
o quel che sia...
sentirai, sentirai...

è un privilegio stare con te,
tutto è distante
niente lo è...

è un sortilegio
vivere in te
dolce persona vicina a me...

.nocturnes.

working tonight, the kids are sleeping, the boarding school is silent. but i can't sleep. i never had sleeping problems really, before working here. i guess its anxiety, what if something happens during the night, a sick teenager, or fire? responsability is kind of a heavy load. well, there's only two months left, before i start a new life. back to uni, back to the city...

.lately.

Hello. 

I considerably neglected posting for the past week, and the previous one, and previous one.... 

I just feel that I have nothing to tell, to show. I spend much time at work -which isn't interesting- and the rest of the time I procrastinate -clothes are piling up next to my bed-, study the driver's theory test, started a pinterest, make plans for the following year -not so productive on that one-, 

and 

intagram a lot. 

Here a few snap:

 

.hair down.

Straightened my hair, inspired by The Sartorialist's post from yesterday.

.pot pourri du mercredi.

+ Went to Paris last weekend for a good friend's house warming party. 

We did: eat lots of croissants, walk in the parc of Belleville collecting leaves for the decoration of the flat, party till morning, eat more croissants, chill out on the sofa, watching the rain through the window, eat humongous salad with friends in Montmartre, help it with a good glass of Cognac, caught a cold, and then it was already monday....

 

.bon weekend.

 

try a little tenderness...

. soif de vert d'eau .

Aquamarine has been MY colour for the summer. Now I wonder how I could use it in the winter.

. in a sentimental mood .

Duke Ellington and John Coltrane playin'. I'm rather not sentimental now, but more in jazz classics mood. I watched Bird yesterday, the story of Charlie Parker. It's crasy how talent can be difficult to bare.

.just a perfect day.

I took these photos on different days, I love how the sunrays peak in.

Yesterday, my godson L. was born and is the cutest little monkey ever.

I am Happy!

hope you are too (in general)...

.au bout de la branche.

It is the last day of may. Now, real summer will come, and the fruits will grow on this apple tree. I love watching nature's progress, it makes me think that everything always change, evolve for the best.

.NYC.I.Miss.You.

Ok, I keep writing it, saying it, dreaming it, but I think I've been marked for life by New York. It's been some weeks I have that recurent dream, that I'm walking in the streets of Brooklyn, then down to the subway, missing the train, the one to the airport. In my dreams I always miss the last plane to Paris and stay there, strolling back to the brownstones... Today, I'm quite (-very-) nostalgic, and the radio is not helping - on air : Anthony and the Johnsons Fistfull of Love. 

Have a happy weekend...

.bonjour.

on my windowsill this morning.

i wake up to a change. elections are done, and not for the worst. 

let's build the future now. 

have a good day! ;-)

in.n.out

Days are starting to be brighter, but it's still a bit chilly. Looking forward to wearing dresses -without- tights!

paname.

I'm back from my short trip in Paris. 

Seeing the city, meeting friends and random people, going to exhibitions and concerts was so reviving. Thank you. 

A bientôt. 

Paris I Love you!

Now i'm just thinking of the glass of chardonnay i might  drink in a café in Paris within two weeks...

He's just a love face!
