French Madame 2012: A Look Back!

Bonjour francophiles & fashionistas!

As 2013 rapidly approaches, I find it always fun to look back at the year.

2012 has been a very significant year for me in many ways.
I moved out and am now supporting myself. Decorating my own space.
Getting more and more involved in neuropsychology. Attending a
psychology congress in Denmark. Revisiting Denmark. Two weeks at the
côte d'Azur with my family. Spending time with friends.


As far as this blog goes, let's take a look at my most popular posts!

♥ The MOST popular post, that generates around 2,000 views each week thanks
to Pinterest, was a tag-game. I answered 11 questions about my favorite things
and featured myself in a red Jane Norman dress, that someone pinned and was
re-pinned over 500+ times.

My favorite red dress by Jane Norman.

Jeez! I liked the dress as well but it was interesting to see it
pop up on so many 'style' boards on Pinterest :D!

♥ As for my own personal favorite posts, I always love blogging from vacation.
I spend a lot of time in Denmark this year, which I fell in love with.

♥ And then of course there was the paradise-vacation in Provence.

♥ A special peek into my closet. Looks mighty fabulous, if I do say so myself!

♥ I started doing 'What I Wear' posts, which were a lot of work to shoot
but beautiful to see the end result.

♥ I did a lot of 'quote'-posts this year. My favorite quote is this one by Oprah Winfrey.

And now a bit of an anouncement:

If you're following this blog regularly, you've noticed within the last month the quantity of posts went down a bit. That's because, beside school & work, I bake a lot, have a social life, blog for Paris Pastry, update two Facebook pages for my blogs, I tweet, I pin on Pinterest and now I post pictures on Instagram.

In 2013, I'm taking French Madame more on the social media platform (Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram). I find it very hard and difficult to find time to write quality post for French Madame at the moment, but I couldn't possibly stop blogging for French Madame.com all together.

There are so many lovely images I share on Pinterest, click here to view.
I post all of my vacation pics on Flickr, click here to view.
I'll keep on updating Facebook weekly, click here to view.
And I take pictures of everyday life on Instagram, username DanielleTdd.

I want to make Paris Pastry my priority blog. Don't fret that you'll never see another post on here... I'll definitely keep on blogging, but just a bit less. Hope you're not too dissappointed. I just marked my third year aniversary for French Madame, so it's been a good ride! I love re-reading old posts and I'm very proud of this blog.

Always yours,

Style This Season: Printed Pants


No doubt you've spotted them in boutiques and stores:
embellished, floral or bright tribal pants.

If you're following me on Instagram, you've seen me wearing these:

I'm in LOVE with these tribal skinny jeans!



And these tribal shorts for warmer days:



Love the print, but especially the shoes!


The stylish blogger from Fashion Frictions has matched her
Zara sandals with a bright, blue jacket.


Olivia Palermo again with a multi-colored skinny.
But remind me to feed that girl a hamburger next time I see her.


Love the print on this one
 

Hope you all had the best Christmas!

Ho Ho Holidays!










Can you tell I love animals?
Christmas is cheery with friends and family,
but it makes it extra special with our furry friends!


And this YouTube video which has stolen my heart:



See the action at 0:27 when mama cat saves her baby kitten from a nightmare.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

Happy Pre-Holidays!
