...wearstler love...

...I've been a longtime fan of Kelly Wearstlers & hold such admiration for her hollywood regency style, recent collection for Lee Jofa, & her new blog, MyVibe MyLife.  Such a style icon.  I'm totally head over heals for her textile collection & her overall style- so inspiring! Here are a few clips of her recent collections, kelly at work, & some of her vibe trays that I just want to scoop up for my own personal use....xx mvg

...ahetz flea...

...some of my finds...

...last weekend was filled with girlfriends & flea markets for me!  Friday's there is a small market near the Halles de Bayonne that I went to last Friday with my friend Sage.  I picked up some good vintage tins along with an old map of France- definitely a framer.  Saturday was a flea in the village of Arcangues filled with more professional vendors- so the price points were definitely higher, but it was a gorgeous setting & was still cool to check out with my French friend Julie.  I walked away with another tin & a vintage glass bottle.  Sunday was the Ahetz village flea out in the countryside.  Sage & I braved the heat & cruised through the rolling green hills to this village which definitely reminded us of Vermont in the summer- we were love!  We both walked away with more than we probably needed, but hey- we're in France, right?  I picked up a couple side tables, a service bar, & an old studded leather chest.  The weekend was a success & each flea was promptly followed by a nice cold glass of Rose- parfait! xx mvg

...next gen teepee?/?...

Ummmm seriously though, these teepee-ish pods by Dedon are amazing.  I want one- or ten.....I also see them as little beach cabanas- just add a bottle of wine, my man, candles, & a picnic dinner & I'm good....cheers to friday! Bon weekend! xx mvg

...scarf man strikes again...

...every Thursday at the Quintaou square in Anglet there is a market that I go to.  It is filled with all sorts of vendors selling everything from homemade soap, to cheese & plants.  My favorite vendor by far is the scarf man.  It's actually becoming a problem.  Everytime I go I can't resist walking away with a handful!  They're mostly silk & vary in sizes, & they are all gorgeous.  I keep my eye out for the ones with a more ethnic vibe, or batik looking ones along with tie-dye & ombre.  My collection is rapidly growing- there are several that I wear on the regular & there are a few that I've purchased for window treatments (suggested from my friend Sage).  I'm excited to tie them together & hopefully figure out a way for them to look chic.  I just bought a bunch of teal & turquoise toned ones today & am hoping to create a valence in our bedroom with them.  Can't wait to show you the finished product....xx mvg

...re-vamp: french farm table ....

....we recently finished our French farm table project.  My husband did a majority of the sanding (my least favorite part) & I slaved away on several coats of stain, high gloss black paint, & polyurethane.  We  are super stoked with the result.  We also painted one wall of the dining room a great teal color to add some fun color.  Now we just need to hang the vintage glass chandelier, get some window treatments, a small service bar & a few accessories & we'll be ready to role.  Can't wait to share the finished product!  Bonne weekend!  xx mvg

...lilacs & cherries...

...carpe diem!  Summer is here in France (or atleast it feels like it).  Cherry blossoms & lilacs are blooming everywhere- I intend to embrace it- salt & sand, sunkissed skin, surfboards, barefeet, bonfires, camping, beers, topless, beach blanket dinners, long dresses, short shorts, messy hair,  bikes, bar hoping, farmstands, hair scarves, love, & friends. xx mvg
