Fifi Chachnil is a french lingerie designer extraordinaire. She has updated her blog recently and it is worth a tour. There is a really cute commercial for Fifi Chachnil's perfume on her blog <a href="http://blog.fifichachnil.com/">http://blog.fifichachnil.com/</a> The description of her angora sweater says it all: "Crafted from the lovingly brushed fur of Angora bunny rabbits that frolic freely through the fields of Normandy, France. Fifi Chachnil's Angora cardigans have become a classic and must have seasonal garment amongst devotees. Available in one size for all girls the cardigans button up the front with dainty clear buttons into a sweater girl v-neck design." What's not to love.

Love the newest makeup for spring from Too Faced. All the packaging is pink and gold and looks like Laduree confections are contained within. The No Makeup Makeup is mainly creams that rub into the skin and look more natural than powders. Ultra girly and a little naughty on the makeup names, Too Faced always delivers great packaging and a decent performance on their products. </div>

Over the years I have collected a couple of antique cast iron floral door knockers and stoppers. The pictures above are some beauties I found on ebay and added to my wish list. My interest in them stems from my love of Quelques Fleurs perfume. If you look at my previous post you will see the Houbigant logo is a small basket of flowers. When Houbigant first set up shop in Paris in 1775, his sign was painted with a basket of flowers. That became his official symbol and was used on many compacts, powder boxes and perfume labels. The door knocker on my own front door is from Paris. It stands as a reminder to fill my home with the lovely frangrance of flowers as often as I can.French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-67762172839207636132013-02-20T20:14:00.000-08:002013-02-20T20:14:08.791-08:00Houbigant-Perfumer to the Queen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have worn Quelques Fleurs since 1986 when I fell in love with it at Nordstroms. I was just 16 and didn't have a lot of money. I did, however, strike a deal with my wealthier boyfriend that I would write his mid-term essay for the small price of $38.00...the cost of a small bottle of eau de toilette. How I wish it was still that price. Quelques Fleurs has the most intriguing history, worn by royalty and many other famous beauties. It is incredibly floral, as the name suggests, and I sometimes wonder if it isn't patterned off the original fragrance called Petit Trianon created for Marie Antoinette. It seems to have many of the same notes.<br />

Here is a sample of my kitchen apron and garden apron I am making to sell on Etsy. They are made of linen and have ripped-edged ruffles. The rosettes have vintage pearls in the center and are pinned on so they can be removed when washing. They are quite time consuming to make so I am going to sell them for $69.00 each on Etsy one of these days. If you are interested in one right away, please email me at <a href="mailto:frenchbeautymark@live.com">frenchbeautymark@live.com</a>.</div>

Now that autumn is upon us, my house is so cold at night. I am dreaming of a cozy little fire.
Just how lovely would it be to light a couple pinecones, birch logs and sprigs of dried lavender in one of these gorgeous fireplaces? I love the antique ormalu chenets with cherubs...reminds me of the ones in the old black and white classic film Camille starring Greta Garbo. She had beautiful bronze cherub chenets looking into her fireplace, seemingly mezmerized by the dancing flames.French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-45222515774667504612012-08-26T21:24:00.001-07:002012-08-26T21:26:45.567-07:00Mad for Macarons<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thanks to my dear sister, I have some updated photos of my garden I've been working on. All the brick is dug up from an old street of a nearby town. I planted lots of pink roses around the statue that my dove "Romeo" has claimed for his new perch. I added a small pond with a fountain in it...a little hard to tell in the second photo from the top, but the tinkling water sound is lovely. It attracks all the local birds and my cat and chickens use it for a drinking fountain. The birdhouse above is made of broken china (thanks to my 4 kids.) It's been a wonderful summer so far and I am so glad I put in a little effort this year to make a relaxing space outside. I've enjoyed it so much, reading french novels and drinking lavender lemonade, that I wish I would've done this years sooner. Happy summer twirly-girls.French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-13611213904560520942012-07-13T21:09:00.000-07:002012-07-13T21:09:21.101-07:00Hair Powder<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Everything old eventually becomes new again...and hair powder seems to be on the rise. Although it is not used to really whiten the hair as in the style of Marie Antoinette, it is a great alternative to shampooing your hair everyday. I use powder just on the roots and brush it through to blend. Starting from top to bottom, the products shown here are: Lulu Organicsat <a href="http://www.luluorganicsnyc.com/">http://www.luluorganicsnyc.com/</a> , Kevin Murphy Powder Puff at <a href="http://www.kevinmurphy.com/">http://www.kevinmurphy.com/</a> , Principessa at <a href="http://www.principessabeauty.com/">http://www.principessabeauty.com/</a> and Cake at <a href="http://www.cakebeauty.com/">http://www.cakebeauty.com/</a>.<br />

<span id="goog_196782353"></span><span id="goog_196782354">I love the weightless floating effect of ostrich feather. I seems to catch the slightest breeze and dance along. There are so many fun options for using it in your wardrobe or decorating. The fabric stores now carry ostrich feathers and trims to embellish your own items.

Here's a few beds that will sweeten your dreams. I love the trundle for little girls from Restoration Hardware. The French Bedroom Company makes some amazing reproductions of antique beds. How romantic is the carving mixed with wicker cane?<br />

I took it to San Fransico with me and read it for the second time. However this time I read it much more slowly, and always in a french bakery near my hotel as I had no money to shop. For hours I would sit eating delicious pastries and coffee and make little notes how to improve my happiness according to the author's suggestions. Jamie Cat Callan made a brilliant observation that happiness does not cost money. I implemented her suggestion to make a "happiness profile" consisting of a small list of things that don't cost a lot of money but can bring you great pleasure. Since I have four kids in a rather small farmhouse, I am constatly frustrated by the mess. So I decided to give up the battle and focus on what I can actually control.</span></div>

Here are a few of the vintage lucite bags on ebay that are on my wishlist for my birthday this year. These icy cases remind me of Cinderella's slipper, you must be delicate how you treat them and fill them with lovely things to look at...pretty makeup, jewelled compacts, and perhaps a pink snakeskin card holder for a credit card or two. Lucite has been making a comeback for some time now, but nothing beats the original.French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-57537605638453016152012-05-14T17:58:00.002-07:002012-05-14T18:12:26.889-07:00Fifi Chachnil<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the top of my list of "must see" places in Paris, Fifi Chachnil's was in the top 3...right before Chantal Thomass and right after Laduree. Fifi is a retro lingerie designer. Her shop is as pink and girly as it gets. Here is a sad story about my visit. I was so excited to buy her perfume, which is very french smelling, but did not listen to the advice about not opening it until I was safely home. On the airplane ride home, over half of it spilled out and soaked the pink atomizer and tassel. </div>

When I grow up I want to be just like Fifi Chachnil. She is so adorable. In her younger years she was a singer and recently released her CDs of her recordings. They are the cutest, flirtiest music ever. Go to her website to hear a sample of her music at <a href="http://www.fifichachnil.com/">http://www.fifichachnil.com/</a> also available to download.</div>French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-7010813118408708442012-05-01T19:18:00.000-07:002012-05-01T19:18:24.033-07:00Mirror, Mirror On the Wall<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After buying a six foot 18th century gold mirror for my home, my girlfriend Bethany made one of her usual funny and sarcastic comments: "Well, a girl's got to have something to put her makeup on." It makes me laugh every time I think of it. I seem to be drawn more and more to rooms with great achitecture, lovely moulding, no wall art and one magnificent mirror reflecting a fabulous chandelier. That is becoming my philosophy for decorating these days. Take all the other clutter off the wall and let a few great pieces speak for themselves.French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-25557371782056805252012-04-21T22:00:00.000-07:002012-04-21T22:05:55.135-07:00April Showers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A few years ago I bought beautiful pink umbrella from Chantal Thomass in Paris...literally. She was there, in person. It was such a pleasure to meet Chantal Thomass, one of my personal idols. I have always wanted to be a lingerie designer and was so excited that she was actually visiting her shop in Paris that day. I bought a book from her called Plumes and Dentelle's. She autographed it with a note: "French lingerie is the best."<br />

During my recent trip to New York we stopped in to Aedes De Venustas (Latin for Temple of Beauty) which is the most amazing perfumery I've seen. Not just for the incredible selection of hard to find fragrances, but for the ambiance the owners have created. When you walk through the doors, you feel as though you have stepped back in time to a Paris perfumery on Avenue Montagne. The decor is opulent, mainly golds, plums, wine color with bouquets of sterling silver roses. Peacocks and fan-tailed pigeons were perched throughout this lush garden of delights. If you are in New York, it is well worth your time to visit this very fine establishment and indulge you senses in this artistic display of the world's finest fragrances.French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-83094619892758716002012-04-06T10:19:00.000-07:002012-04-07T20:21:14.551-07:00Lace Handbags<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last night I had a dream I was shopping for a lace purse. There were so many gorgeous handbags, I didn't know which one to buy. How disappointing to wake up and find it was only a dream. It prompted me to search out available lace handbags to see if any looked like my dream. Not really. Maybe the Valentino pictured second is the closest I could come to the ones in my dream. Maybe sometime I will try to make one myself.French Beauty Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16307410045787040434noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980708959331345037.post-44851825061474838332012-03-30T10:04:00.000-07:002012-03-30T10:04:05.759-07:00Jill Stuart Ads<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm getting so excited for my trip to New York next week. I will be visiting Jill Stuart in Soho and browsing through her gorgeous makeup line. These are some of her older ads that I saved in a file becuase their makeup is so soft and pretty. Happy Pink Saturday!<br />

Easter is coming and that means pink cherry blossoms and fluffy chicks. Two of my favorite things. This year I added a couple of bantams to my tiny coup. I stuck them in my dove cage with a heat lamp to keep them warm. My dove Romeo seems to enjoy the company since he lost his mate Juliet a while ago.</div>

This is my very small, very pink bathroom. When we bought the house it was a french country royal blue and golden yellow wallpaper. A friend of mine gave me a couple rolls of paintable textured wallpaper. I think it's probably supposed to look like tin ceiling tiles from the Victorian era, but I used it on the walls and painted it a soft shell pink. The bottom half of the wall is white wood with a floral embossed trim. Happy Pink Saturday...hope you all have time for a lovely pink bubblebath.</div>
