Ballerina Girl



We are happily re-stocked in our Gilded Life collectible ballet shoe

Featured with a Repetto tutu I photographed while in Paris with my Mom
a few years ago

We were both in awe with the Galleries of Lafayette

It is the most stunning and elaborate shopping center I have ever seen
I wanted to take this tutu home
and my mom would tell you that she has never seen so many shoes
an entire floor of this enormous shopping center was nothing but shoes


We walked one day for hours to find the Boulevard of Madeleine

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel



Ever since watching the movie about the life of 
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel she has become an inspiration to me.
Her story is heart-breaking, intriguing, and beautiful. 

She transformed a life as an orphan into a life as
the most renowned French fashion designer.

Above is my living room and where I keep a collection of things that are special to me
including a book about her life and souvenirs from my trip to Paris with my Mom.


"The most courageous act is still to think for yourself.  Aloud."  -Coco Chanel


"A girl should be two things: who and want she wants."  -Coco Chanel


I hope that you go after whatever it is you want in life

without the fear of rejection or failure.


And remember the wise words of Coco,

"You live but once; you might as well be amusing."


strawberry champagne candle available at the shop
