Lap it up

Wouldn't we all want a guidebook on how to be impossibly French? Firstly, if it was impossible, surely no amount of information given in a book would make it happen? Secondly, I was born in England so yeah, it pretty much is impossible and finally, French style is so effortless, a guide would equal you trying too hard and therefore putting too much effort into being effortless. Confusing, huh? 
Just face it, you don't need a book to tell you, it is impossible, unless you are in fact French but for those us who aren't, we can always dream.

In other news, I have pieced together a collage. Surprising, I know, coming from me, of items that have inspired me. Inspiration is a delight because you can draw out from under every rock, admittedly this blog is very fashion focused but with me in charge of the reins I can delve where ever I please. In this case, I have chosen to delve into the realms of interior design, it is a huge source of inspiration for me and endlessly fills me with an eagerness to own my own chateau one day and fix it up just how I please.
