French Mademoiselle in 2011

The end of December marks 'French Mademoiselle's' second blogoversary.
This is also the time when I look back at all my favorite posts.

What a wonderful year it has been!
My absolute highlight for French Mademoiselle was blogging two weeks
non-stop from Paris for my 'French Mademoiselle in Paris' series.
But these posts have been pretty special to me too:


♥ Visiting The Queen's Hamlet from Marie-Antoinette in Versailles {click here}




♥ The Week That Was in Pictures {click here}




♥ Checkerboard {click here}




♥ The New Pretty {click here}




♥ Barcelona, Spain {click here}




♥ A Little Piece of Heaven {click here}




♥ Happy Valentine's Day {click here}




I have a few exciting ideas brewing for 2012. Hope you'll come back and
keep on sharing with me my passion for a French lifestyle.
Thank you for all your comments, sweet words & visits!

Yours Truly,

A Very Merry, Happy, Healthy & Safe Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Following the Sparkling Sequins post from last week,
here is one of my favorite sequin-embellished dresses from this year.



It pretty much has everything I look for in a great dress: strapless,
a bodice, a waistband, metallic tweed and multi-colored.



And for that something extra, ombre-effect sequins on the bottom.
Perfect for a holiday party!

And since we're heading in the OTT direction (Over The Top),
I might as well pair it with these 'Fifi Strass' Christian Louboutin pumps.

Holiday Entertaining

Now that my busy weeks are over, I can give Christmas my full attention.
I've stocked up on supplies, so I don't have to fight through overcrowded
stores either. These lovely images are giving me inspiration!

Happy Holidays,

Venice, Italy

On July 27 I spend a day in Venice. Venice is like no other city I've ever visited;
the crowds, the narrow maze-like streets, the transportation by water and
the little shops filled with every collectable you can imagine.

Ciao,
