Maison du Soir Begonia

The last set of my Maison du Soir collaboration. What a fun ride it has been – Rio, Geneva Gardens, Geneva Pool, Normandy, and Normandy again, Paris, and lastly, London. The sets are settled back in Dallas and being worn frequently but my how I wish I was backing wearing them around other parts of the world! Since the last Begonia set in Paris was forced to be worn as a dress I thought it was only fitting to show it again in London at The Kensington Hotel. What a beautiful hotel for a beautiful pajama! I decided to shoot these straight out of bed – very real life! I kind of love the voyeuristic feel to these photos! Almost like you are waking up with me.

I am really sad this collaboration has come to an end but I hope I have been able to share the beauty that is Maison du Soir! It is like my friend said the other day when I was wearing them, “they definitely look beautiful on your blog but they are even more beautiful in person.” I could never do these amazing pieces justice but I do hope I was able to open your eyes to a new brand that is changing the pajama industry! And if you trust me on only one thing – it is that your closet needs a set of Maison du Soir! Please let me know if you have questions on any sizes I wore or on the pajamas in general! Thanks for following along!

I’m late!
I’m late!
For a very important date!
No time to say “Hello”, goodbye!
I’m late!
I’m late!

Yes! On the last day in Paris, I was running late. No time to think about hair, make-up, or dress, I was out the door. Since we had such a quick trip in Paris, there really was no time to waste! Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it together (because of this) so I jumped out of bed in my pajamas! Fortunately for me, my girl Courtney at Maison du Soir designed the perfect solution – the Begonia! So thank you Courtney for constructing something so perfect for this champagne loving girl who can’t shake off the reminisce of a good night as quickly as she used to! Really, you are a genius! The dress is not only a comfy/chic pajama but also a simple/minimalist day time dress, should you ever find yourself in a bind. I am not sure I could have made it through Paris without you. Je n’aurais pas pu faire ca sans toi!

Traveling Charming Bayeux

This past July I had the opportunity to travel abroad with my parents and husband. It was a magical trip! We were able to visit my in-laws in Geneva and then head to Normandy (which was my Dad’s childhood dream), Paris, and London. It was a trip of a lifetime and held memories I will never forget! My parents sent my sister and I abroad when I was still in high school and one of the trips we took was to Normandy. We visited the WWII memorials, the beaches of D-day, the American Cemetery, and the churches. It was an unforgettable trip but very emotionally draining. It was something I could say that I did but didn’t have the strength to go back. To see all of the memorials for boys who never made it home really hits hard, especially the American Cemetery! Coming from a very patriotic family, I didn’t think I had it in me to go back. But my dad has always wanted to see it so back to Normandy we travelled. The entire experience was just as I remembered but one that I do believe every American should have. I took a lot of beautiful photos of the memorials and cemeteries but am still debating on whether I will post them. I did want to share parts of the town Bayeux, next to Normandy. It was so quaint, quiet, and beautiful. It was almost like time had never effected it. Although I know it was a very different scene 70 years ago, today, it is lovely! The flowers were blooming, the aging buildings were absolutely appealing, and the cobblestone on the street was so charming. It was like a set out of a movie and I absolutely loved it!

I hope you have a chance to make it over there one day. It is an experience that will stay with you forever! If you are headed there anytime soon I do have some suggestions so feel free to e-mail me!
