Bonjour My Friends! I just spent the weekend celebrating and today recovering! Champagne is such a delight (on occasion)!!!
I am still feeling quite festive and I think these photos are too much fun. What better way to celebrate all things pretty than with a post dedicated to Marie Antoinette...correction...a Modern Marie Antoinette. We can all use a dose of pretty in our lives and I can't think of anything prettier right now! I hope you enjoy! I am not trying to be historically accurate or anything, just having fun with some Marie Antoinette inspired eye~candy.
For Her Wardrobe~
Every Queen needs some bling! This extraordinary necklace by Ranjana Khan is perfect! I love the color and the size of it!
These sassy silk covered bracelets are from Thistle and Clover. Sure to make you feel girly.
All of the handmade hats from Hey Sailor! are beautiful. I chose this one because it is reminiscent of the ship hat Marie Antoinette famously wore. How stinking cute is this!?!
These little doozies are from Faire Frou Frou. Who I adore! They have some of the most exquisite lingerie and they are the ultimate in customer service. To visit their store is heavenly! When I lose those last 10lbs. I am rewarding myself with a trip there!
Feathers! Every Modern Marie needs some feathers. I found this cute and different feather fan on Etsy.
For Her Chateau~
I am loving this picture! How fabulous is this? The Lila Canape is so quirky and whimsical. Definitely Modern Marie.
I picture some of these LoooLo Anna Linen pillows from Design Public (there are a few style and all of them prettier than the last) strewn about. These pillows are made from organic fibers, dyes with the least environmental footprint and Looolo textiles products can be safely composted at the end of their useful life. Pretty and good!
Of course you have to have a chandelier and matching sconces from the new Paris Apartment Boutique! Claudia just recently launched her new boutique and she has some of the most incredible lighting! Marie wouldn't have been caught dead without her chandeliers!
A mirrored vanity from Neiman's for a flashy girls boudoir! P.S. I love the rug in the photo.
There's that rug again! I need one asap! I just love this bedroom from Graham and Green

I just love the mix of styles in this photo.
This pic is from Martha Stewart. I love the wall to wall folding panels of mirrors. Breathtaking!
Of course the Louis Ghost chair! Every Modern Marie needs at least one of these. A set for the dining room is even better! I like it in Black as well. You can find both at Design Within Reach
This picture has it all. The chandelier, the yummy pastries, the chaise lounge, the fabulous wall covering! I love it!

Wall decals are so popular right now. I personally haven't gotten "into" them for my home but if you have commitment issues, you might like them! These are from Celio and they have lots of really fun things!
This is also from Celio. I love the tonal colors and the simplicity.
What a fantastic bath!!! Those wall tiles are gorgeous! The mix of styles and that chair. I could live like that! :) I don't have a clue where this is from but wall tiles look like fun.

Judith, this post is gorgeous. If I had one dollar for each time I wrote that to you, I would soon get rich and then I could buy a house with a grand piano and a large unfurnished room with parquet for practicing tango... (See, my future depends on you writing these stunning posts!)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo with the lime couch (collecting inspiration for a mini-makeover). But the most incredible would of course be the Lila Canapé...Fantastic design idea!
Have a beautiful day=)
Hugs,
Trudi

This will be a first for me, a second reponse in a day... but, had my little 4 1/2 son with me earlier bouncing off the walls. So, had to sneak a peak again after he has hit the sack. OMG!! It's as good the second time around! Actually better. Seriously, I am done. This is the best blog I have ever seen. If I never see another as good, I will be OK. Because, I will come back to this one again and again. Life is good... as Marie... Thank you for bringing life to this full time Momma.
ReplyDeletehow cool is that - we were reading along and discovered a Faire Frou Frou mention in this post!! thank you, thank you!
