Stylish Favorites 1.10.15

IMG_0904The New Year is off to a chilling start here in the Mid Atlantic; the air has been extremely crisp along with a bit of ice and snow after such a cloudy and rainy fall. The fireplace is in constant use, everyone is bundled in very soft sweaters and I love when the weather is in the single digits, which gives me the option of working from home and working in the kitchen cooking up delicious hot soups and stews or baking a savory pie to warm the hearth.

When time allows there is nothing like snuggling up with a copy of Paris Vogue and nibbling on a few chocolates from La Maison du Chocolat and perusing the spring/summer fashions or just planning the Heath gardens with colors seen from the elegant fashion magazines…talk about inspiration at its finest!!!

Enjoy,

Nouveau Impressionnisme

IMG_0479 IMG_0473The Impressionist style of art had a definite emphasis on the accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities throughout the course of the day. Using ordinary subject matter and throwing in the elements of expressionism, perceptions with visual angles were the distinctive qualities of this artistic movement.

IMG_0478 IMG_0475 IMG_0474Our reporters took these streets shots experiencing the Bohemian lifestyle such as the artist, musicians and literary adventurers of nineteenth century Paris. And, what an elegant way to start the year by perusing the hilly streets of Montmartre and viewing this historic district established by the “City of Paris”.

Poet Langston Hughes worked in this picturesque town and drew inspiration from the surrounding area along with performer Josephine Baker, architect-artist Le Corbusier and artist Raoul Dufy who frequented the carefree bohemian cafes, streets and libraries at the turn of the 20th century.

Stay stylishly de Bohème,
