MONTMARTRE BY DAY - EIFFEL TOWER BY NIGHT

MONTMARTRE BY DAY – EIFFEL TOWER BY NIGHT

Hey Loves:

So, After my glorious day at my new home Versailles I came down with the worst throat infection ever! This was my first time being so far away from home and being so sick. It really sucked. This virus just exploded that night and was really stubborn about going away! But, luckily I have the best boyfriend in the word who took such good care of me! Next to my mom’s chicken soup his is…

FRANCE - VERSAILLES - DEC 16

FRANCE – VERSAILLES – DEC 16

Versailles – the little french town I have been wanting to visit my entire life – even more than Paris! I would always tell people that if I had a choice to go to Paris or Versailles I would choose Versailles in a heart beat! Why? Well, I am an art lover and the genre of art that encapsulates the Chateau des Versailles is Rococo, my all time favorite. I have always been in love with art, movies…

FRANCE - The Happiest Place On Earth

FRANCE – The Happiest Place On Earth

Oh Disney Land!!! It is to be said that it is the happiest place on earth! I would have to agree with that! I was surprised with a day trip to Disney Land Paris for one of my birthday gifts and it was such a fun filled day – so much that I hardly took any photos. I never had the opportunity to go to Disney World as a kid because I was too sick with Lyme Disease so having the chance to go on this…

I was so excited when Papyrus contacted me asking of I would spend the day with them at the Create and Cultivate Conference in New York City. It it always a thrill when a brand you loved for your lifetime reaches out wanting to work with you! If you are not familiar with Papyrus, they are the best greeting card company in all the land. They design cards and stationery for every occasion that are all beautiful works of art. They often collaborate with artists and fashion designers, too. Making their library of greeting cards even more diverse and beautiful. This year they collaborated with famed handbag designer Judith Leiber in recreating her famous clutches into cards for all events! Shop the collection here!

On May 6th – Papyrus came from Ohio to New York in celebration of women’s empowerment at the Create and Cultivate conference. Spending the day with their team, taking over their Instagram and interacting with fellow Papyrus fans creating flat-lays all day was truly incredible. It was also really great to see one lucky attendee win her very own Judith Leiber Clutch! I wanted to enter the contest so badly, but that just would not have been morally right!

It was also really wonderful of the Papyrus team to allow me to partake in many of the day’s events and lectures. My favorite was the beauty lounge by Laura Mercier and the Women in Business talk with Rebecca Minkoff and Kendra Scott who are both my spirit animals in so many ways, its not even funny! They are true inspirations. However, the best moment of the entire day (other than getting to play with papyrus cards for hours on end) was having the once in a lifetime opportunity to hear and meet Key Note speaker, women’s rights activist and all around the coolest lady I’ve ever met, Gloria Steinem!! I had to pinch myself after meeting her! I thanked her for being such a remarkable influence on women’s rights and for paving the way for women everywhere to speak their mind and have their own voice and she replied “Well Dara, Thank you for being a woman and fr allowing my words to influence you to be the strong confident and *ucking awesome woman you are!”  at 83 years old – Gloria still has it going on!

Thank you Papyrus for wanting to work with me and for affording me such an unforgettable experience! I can’t wait to work with you again, soon!

MY DAY WITH PAPYRUS X CREAT & CULTIVATE I was so excited when Papyrus contacted me asking of I would spend the day with them at the Create and Cultivate Conference in New York City.

On this gloomy day in Paris I attended my 3rd day of Paris Fashion Week! Luckily I only had one presentation and one fashion show on this day. It was raining so hard at one point that it was impossible to see in front of me after leaving the first presentation in which I am not allowed to discuss. We stood under an awning for what felt like 10minutes trying to order an Uber to our next destination. Luckily when the Uber arrived, the rain came to a sudden stop. However, I did not see the huge puddle down from the curb and completely soaked both of my feet in dirty street water! YUCK! Luckily, the shoes did not get ruined and dried rather quickly. 

Not really hearing of designer duo Talbot Runhoff until receiving their invite in the mail, I was really excited to see their collection for Fall 2017 after seeing their previous collections online. This was also the first fashion show I was granted backstage access to during PFW. How cool is that? Being the outgoing gal I am, I found one of the designers, Jonny Talbot and introduced myself. He is such a sweet and funny fella and showed me their entire collection while taking his time to explain how each garment was made! It was so wonderful! TR’s collection this season was about woman empowerment and being a strong woman no matter their background! As he explained the collections theme he made funny references to the American presidential elections in which I wont quote here out of respect for your personal political views, however they were very funny! The show took place at the Westin – Place Vendome which from the outside looks beautiful but little does one know the magnitude of the ballrooms from the inside! They take you back to another time in which makes you feel like you are back in 19th century Paris. From the chandeliers to the gold paintings on he ceilings, the rooms are absolutely breathtaking! It was really nice being able to share what I do during Fashion Week with my boyfriend and witnessing him enjoying his first ever Fashion Week Fashion Show in which he thought would be filled with only really snobby and pretentious people. I tried convincing him otherwise but he ultimately saw for himself that most were very kind and social. He was also a great big help regarding photographing and filming. I really just wanted him to enjoy and be a guest but he insisted on helping me, which I am very thankful for! Walking into the backstage area was a treat for the eye in every which way! Walking into the front of house venue was even more beautiful with cascading  larger than life chandeliers and a bright red runway! As we took out seats for the show the music was pumping and the photographer’s cameras were flashing as per usual. I left our seats for a minute to go say hello to friends from NYC that I saw is the distance, chatted for a few then went back to my seat advised by the PR team for the show was about to start. As the show started one beautiful dress was more beautiful than the last and hearing my boyfriend commenting his opinion of each look that took to the runway made my day! It was really great sharing my love for fashion with him and him being as receptive as he was towards it!

After the show was over I ran into fabulous fashion designer and friend Bibhu Mohapatra in the hallway! It was such a pleasant surprise to see another familiar face in Paris. We made plans for me to see his collection privately the next day!

As we left the Westin we walked to the center of Place Vendome to take some photos in the rain! I always wanted to have a rainy photo shoot and with how cool the lighting was reflecting on the street and how everything had a special golden glow, it was the most perfect moment and end to a really great day!
