    What a fantastic find. It’s like looking at stills from a movie you wish you were a character in!

    Gorgeous! I love that era when women always dressed so chic and sophisticated. The scenes just scream Parisian flair to me. Thanks for sharing those! I hope you don’t mind but I have a link to your inspiring blog on my blog as well. I just love everything about your blog.

    That is Ciro Maccioni, the owner of Le Cirque in the second to last photo. These are so great!
