Je deteste que Je t'aime.

I'll admit my animosity toward Paris results entirely from my total obsession with anything and everything French. I loved French historical figures [Hello, name of my blog...] French fashion, the French language, French Literature- specifically French Romanticism and Realism. For me, the French could do no wrong. So, J'ai reve of going to France for years and years, until finally I did. Reality fell short, obviously. Nothing can ever match your expectations when you set them up so high. I secretly still love French things though, I wish I could speak perfect, fluent Parisian French, and twice a year Paris Fashion Week takes my breath away. So, though I am still bitter toward Paris and how much it let me down, I will hesitantly admit sometimes the French do get it right and manage to remind of why I loved them in the first place.

Do your stamps look this cute? Mine don't.
Even the French postal service acknowledges the importance and beauty of fashion design.

Did anyone think plain, ol' Bob was ever gonna bust out of his pineapple and look this good? I mean the sponge is rocking Chanel here.

Please don't even get me started on how deeply in love I am with this.
Campanas + Lacoste, Holiday Edition Polo, 4th year.
Campanas is pair of designers from Brazil, and this was inspired by the was alligators lay on top of each other in the mud in the Pantanal.
I just love Lacoste, it's a semi-guilty pleasure. Sorry, I'm not even gonna hide it.

I JUST WANT YOU NOW.

A friend took this in Interlaken, Switzerland over the weekend.
It's not really French at all, but I fell in love with his pictures.
I hadn't even heard much about this city, never had any interest in visiting. It's the strangest things that end up surprising you in the best ways. Who would think I would hate Paris, and then discover Interlaken of all places could be an amazing city to explore?
... Then again, it is cold as shit.

MIAMI
En douze jours!
Je t'aime ♥
J'aime le soleil!
Je vodrais ma maison maintenant, s'il vous plait.

Au revoir, et paix, et amor.
Lini ♥
