Instagram post 2242485906070169100_279147948 Researching colors for SS22. It used to be a challenge to work on summer tones in February when I lived in Paris. I desperately waited for a clear day to get to it, only to find them looking sad the day after, once the sun had run out 😒 I usually make a mix of fabrics, materials and painted colors, but I especially enjoy the inking part ☺️ . #summercolors #trendconsultant #colortrends #ink #winterlight #provence #trends #colorrange
Instagram post 2241681473073828886_279147948 I've spent some time in Paris recently, and will go fairly often in the next few months, and I seem to always find an excuse to stop at @aromparis at some point. This very special flower shop is a kind of chaotic and surreal eden, always filled with mesmerizing finds. It takes me back to nature in a very fantastic way and acts like a balm against city angst. Obviously thinking about you @amy_merrick whenever I go there 🥀🙏🏻 . #flowershop #paris #parisianfavourites #aromparis #protea #haven #eden #parisguide #flowers
Instagram post 2230050730065097502_279147948 Can't wait for Spring and its green produce (and heaps of dangerousely affordable local strawberries), eating potatoes while we wait 😅 . Smashed (boiled then oven roasted) potatoes with paprika, garlic and coriander seeds. Caramelized shitake and mushrooms with fried sage and greek yogurt. . This plate might not be the best illustration of it, but we are definitely eating more local produce since we moved. There are less temptations to eat anything whenever than in Paris and it's also easier to find affordable and excellent local products. We feel closer to to nature here, so going against the cycle would feels much more absurd. . I still buy bananas every so often but I'm actually surprised by how much local stuff we have on hand (even kiwis or pomegranate !). I used to buy citrus without blinking but now the organic ones from Sicily we find here feel really special, not something trivial. I generally value more the food I buy. . I'm also much more aware of the efforts it takes for the local sellers to find good producers, and to manage to find them nearby. We buy a lot of our food from a local store which sells local and organic fruits, veggies, cheese, meat, flours etc... I enjoy talking to them about their research process and it's worth noting that even in our "modern world" it oftens end up being a very analog process of "I heard about a mushroom guy, I have to go check it out". 😅 . #localfood #provence #newlife #newhome #frenchfood #goibglocal #organicfood
Instagram post 2222861353488615245_279147948 Throwing some furry stuff with a summer shirt like it's perfectly natural 😅 Living here have changed what feels right clothing-wise. It's a confirmation of intuitions I had for a while but couldn't really turn into reality when I still lived in Paris 🥴 . #newlife #newcolors #summerinwinter #warmcolors #contemporaryarchitecture #midcenturymodern #goldenhour #modernarchitecture #provence #dromeprovencale #countryliving #winter
Instagram post 2222158445331829378_279147948 The dressing. So glad we finally went for a closed dressing. I had this cliché vision of an open closet but this would have looked so chaotic 🤦🏻‍♀️ . In the middle, provençal jar, sandalwood ritual necklaces from Kerala, Japanese basket and Romanian stool. . We bought the stool from a renowned Romanian sculptor called Teo Barsan. We were visiting the big workshop now owned by his son where they sculpt huge portals and stumbled on the father who showed us his own work. He had a true artist vision, at the intersection of folklore, fonction and pure fantasy that really resonated with me. In the small, dusty room that served as an informal museum we spotted this stool and inquired about buying it. I'm so happy we asked. It felt a bit weird at the time, and we wondered if it would fit in any of the bags we had...but it did! I tend to overthink buying stuff when we travel, always afraid I'm getting carried away by the excitement of the moment, but in the end I'm not sure I should because I treasure all the things we brought back. ☺️ . #travelstories #romania #barsan #woodworking #vintage #folkcraft #craftsmanship #japanesebasketry #newhouse #newhome#modernarchitecture #contemporaryarchitecture #dressing #midcenturymodern
Instagram post 2221408429747104127_279147948 Can't get enough of these clear winter skies here 🙏🏻 Reeeally looking forward to early spring to see the garden grow, but, in the meantime, we started feeding the birds and got rewarded with a flock of them. They're putting on quite a show and seem to like it here as much as I do ☺️ . #winter #provence #contemporaryarchitecture #modernarchitecture #midcenturymodern #newhouse #newhome #countryliving
