What a perfect day to laze around in the garden sipping chocolate tea from Angelina Paris. This afternoon, I actually got around to reading some of the mags I'd bought, they're divided into two piles - French and English. Not that I can read French but one of my new year's resolutions is to learn. I stumbled across the website Babbel, which allows you to take language courses online, your first free of charge. I spent a good amount of time this afternoon repeating, "je", "tu" and "nous" to my laptop and then being digitally graded on my pronunciation.
In London, I was introduced to The Kooples, a French label are the epitome of French cool. They partner with Savile Row tailors to create sharply cut vintage inspired streetwear. I fell in love with their prep shirts, their cute skulled scarves and their blazers, which were such an amazing fit, I had to buy two.
The brand also publish their own magazine featuring their threads modeled by gorgeous real-life couples and release, The Kooples Records, a compilation of indie, rock, electro and pop tunes celebrating the talent of (well, of course) couples. Now, if only this super chic brand would ship to Australia and I could look like the stunning beautiful women who feature in their mag. Sigh.
