The Perfectly Unkempt Bun

For those lazy mornings when the last thing you want to do is stress about your hair, I love Joanna’s little tutorial on how to get that tousled yet oh-so-French bun over at Experience PARISIENNE.  How adorable {and easy!} is this?

Rainbow ranunculus

I adore ranunculus. How could you not? I usually go for the fool proof route of a monochromatic bunch, but after finding this photographer via A Cup of Jo, I realized I might be doing it all wrong. Still romantic but more adventurous in technicolor, this photo taken at a parisian flower mart is almost circus like. It reminds me of the scene where Dorothy falls asleep in the poppies in The Wizard of Oz.


French Dressing

The adorable Joanna asks Garance Dore about the style secrets of French women…
