CARNET DE VOYAGE: FALL A PARIS C'EST SEXY ;-)

Paris is such a wonderful inspiration for our photography. And of course if we can have the Eiffel Tower somewhere in the background ... then it is even better ;-) We have one more shot in the second part of the post. More of Alek and Steph photography in Paris here.

CARNET DE VOYAGE: A LATE SUMMER DAY IN PARIS

Today was so nice that I could not help but spending most of my time walking around the city.



The sun was shinning and it felt like one of those summer days where people just want to relax on the grass and do nothing but looking at the cloudless sky or enjoy a good book ... shirtless!





One of my favorite Parisian spot on a sunny day is the Le Jardin des Tuileries, where the cute army boys are looking after our safety ;-)

CARNET DE VOYAGE: PARIS

There is no such a thing as 'indian summer' over here in Europe, so let's just call it a lucky fall day! Even if you can't really tell from those black & white photos the weekend was sunny and warm enough in Paris to forget that the summer is definitely over ...



But just like any fall day it gets dark pretty early so we have decided to go and see a couple of movies. On our list Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Blindness both presented at the Cannes Film Festival in May but only released this week.



Vicky Cristina Barcelona Being great fans of Woody Allen it is hard to be objective. Penélope Cruz was so good, very latina drama queen. We loved that there are no happy ending or any kind of 'moralization' just a piece of life a la Woody Allen.



Blindness If you go to see just a sci-fi movie then you may leave a bit disappointed. It goes way beyond, describing our society and the human kind (from good to worst) with perfection. At some point the movie becomes very oppressing especially the quarantine zone ruled by self proclaimed king Gael García Bernal!

CARNET DE VOYAGE: MORE PHOTOS FROM PARIS

After sharing those photos of the Eiffel Tower from every angle yesterday, today more photos from Paris ...



without forgetting THE one and only ;-)

CARNET DE VOYAGE: LA TOUR EIFFEL AND PARIS

In the past 10 years I must have taken 1000's of picture of the Eiffel Tower, every-time she pop up at a street corner I can't help but looking at it like if it was the first time.



We took those photos today, and wanted to share them with you.

CARNET DE VOYAGE: PATRICK DEMARCHELIER PARIS

A couple of days ago the fashion spotlights left the Parisian runaways for the VIP event. Patrick Demarchelier's exhibition at the Petit Palais du Musée des Beaux Arts.



More than 400 of Demarchelier's renowned portraits. The museum's director said Demarchelier initially resisted the idea of juxtaposing his pop culture icons with the Petit Palais' enduring artistic treasures "He's a modest guy and he was pretty embarrassed at first". But it is just fantastic and if you are or will be coming to Paris, this is a must see!









On top of the fantastic exhibition, you can enjoy the garden for a drink.
