picture perfect life
bon soir tous! i hope you’re enjoying a peaceful night.
i’d like to introduce you to one of my beloved muses, haleigh of making magique. we are kind of like kindred spirits. ok exactly like kindred spirits. we met briefly in paris and didn’t get a chance to chat but knew each other in a flash. tonight i went to visit chez elle en paris to get a french fix and some fresh air.
haleigh is so much fun to hang out with even if just on her blog. she’s got sensational photo skills and her apartment is a glorious work in progress. she just moved paris apartments and is taking us along.
when she visits museums she gets the shot i always tried capture.
she’s uber girly
and appreciates vintage powder puffs!
she takes the time to document her beautiful reality with still life shots and self portraits.
oh and she twirls in gardens
and makes a great exit
haleigh sees beauty everywhere and she’s capturing and sharing it. it would be nice to do a little more capturing the beauty of daily life.
i could go on with more photos but am officially calling it a night. sweet dreams!

Oh Hello Darling!!!
Yes indeed we are kindred spirits. I knew it from the moment my mummy said I must start reading your blog. I am blussshinggggg with delight being referred to as a muse!
I always loved all things girly, french, and fun! But I think following your design over the years know has really showed me how I can refine my taste, especially in the new home!, into something elegant, romantic, and mature while still fabulously flirty and feminine! I come here so often now for inspiration decorating the new place!
It is getting warmer and sunnier here in Paris which means there are no more excuses for not making a trip here in the coming months! Rest assured when you do I would love to have you to my little Paris apartment for some tips and to share from of my flea market finds :-)
Merci encore ma belle copine pour partager mon petit blog et tes mots gentilles avec tes lectrices!
XOXO *The Blonde Claudia* ;-)
