Fashionable Business Luncheon Paris House Style

October 27th, 2009

paris house boutique1

I have a Business Luncheon with my good friend Marie who also happens to be French. That means I need to be chic.  This is the outfit I decided on.  Classic is my style and typically the way  I dress most of the time, especially during the day.  In the evening for cocktail parties I like sexy and mini, for running errands and going to my sons schools I typically try and dress like I’m on the set in Cookie Magazine style shoot, or at least I try to.  I love fashion and love to get dressed up, just not all the time.  I work from my house so sometimes I can work in sweats and sometimes I go all out.   My Fashion style is as eclectic as my interior design style.  I do lean towards chic, tailored, classic and a bit preppy. 

{Dress Vera Wang,  Shoes Louboutin, gold cuff  The Paris House Boutique, sunglasses Lilly Pulitzer, Handbag Chanel (photographed below).  My dress is blue and black, on the back it is all black and very fitted from behind, both professional for business and a bit sexy especially when paired with my very nerdy eyeglasses. What is about guys and glasses, when I was younger I felt embarrassed wearing glasses until every guy I knew thought it was the sexiest thing on a woman!!}

I snuck him in for a little more Halloween magic.  So while I’m at it let me share my French friend’s Marie et Pol’s fabulous cocktail recipe…for after work of course!!  If you happen to be in my neighborhood stop on by for a delicious chic Halloween cocktail as we are always prepared with beaucoup des ‘Tricks AND Treats’…I just can’t promise they will be Tiffany Treats.

{I hope you can follow this recipe, as I just copied and pasted it as was emailed to me from Marie} :

Cheers Bonjour Michele ( Marie do you ever call me Bunny??? maybe after tequila, but its usually Meeechelle!!)

La Mauresque Cocktail

Yesterday was very nice, let’s do it more often. Hope you were on time at school..
Here is the recipe and some links to read for more info for you.. I’m not sure that the tsp are the most convenient but I didn’t know another way to convert centiliters (cl) !??
for 1 glass :
 
  • water
  • 1 cl of orgeat syrup (2 tsp)
  • 4 cl (8 tsp) of pastis (Pernod, Ricard, 51, Casanis)
  • Prepare directly in the glass. Pour the pastis and syrup. Fill with plenty of cold water and some icecubes. 
    Serve in a glass type “tumbler”.
    “A la votre !” means Cheers!

    I'm posting this again because I really really like it.

    I know I posted these skull swizzle sticks a couple weeks ago but I really love them so they are back…

    Getting ready, I need to be at the cafe for lunch soon.  I’m Meeting Marie to discuss new products to put in our boutique.  They will be coming from France soon. I wore none of these fragrances today,  instead  I chose Van Cleef &  Arpels  ‘First’ which was a gift from Marie. I have very very nice friends!!!!

    You like my little pink poodle swizzle sticks, I think I have a swizzle stick addiction,  that and apparently I set up bars in every room in my home.  This is my ‘still under construction’ craft room.  I’m just waiting for my hot handyman to get his sweet little A** over here and get to work.  Sorry but sweet little Bunny is in a silly mood.

    OMG what a mess….Need to organize. Mr Bunny bought me this sexy little number.  Where oh where are my heels and bracelet…I’m going to be late!!  I need to get organized one of these days..I mean really I’m a Virgo we are suppose to be very organized?? I do have different closets  one  for Fall and winter clothes and one that is only spring summer/resort…so I guess thats a start.   I’m just so busy living life there is no time!!!

    Another fun necklace from my Grandmother Margaret.  The scarf was hers too, a little Missoni, Etro, Pucci vibe going on there perhaps??? My Kate Spade cards have travelled around the world and back with me.

    These are so NOT the shoes I’m looking for.  Its time for me to get serious and stop playing, I have a 30 minute drive and can’t be late…

    {My friend Marie is a fashion and personal stylist , her company is Simplement Chic}

    Thanks for all your help Marie call me when you return from Saint Tropez!!!!  I think it may be time for tequila, non????

    11. Champagne, Chanel and all things chic… So Paris-like! Good going gal! Pampering ourselves with little luxuries is truly important.

      You asked where the geometrical garden was where I shot my latest outfit… It’s in Southern Paris. Very close to where I live so that’s why I cannot give you the exact address. But if ever you come over, I’d be happy to take you there!

      Thank you so much for adding my fashion blog in your links. I did the same! I love the world you have created here. Very inspirational!

    12. I do hope you were not late dear funny Bunny. You were going to look smashing & it sounds like fun plans are on the horizon. Only wish I lived close enough to raise a toast with you. The recipe looks incredibly tempting.

      I loved your comments about Amelia Earhart. I think what she stood for is what so many of us can relate to.

      Cheers my friend ~ xx

    13. Oh Bunny,

      I love your zest for life and for all things fabulous! I think you should do a “How to be Bunny Fabulous” workshop!!

      Love and hugs,
      Karyn

      oops, that should be…”always”…..I’m a little loopy right now :) (flu and all)

    20. I hope you had a great lunch! Your outfit is divine, as always. You know, as a sister Virgo, it is funny, I am extremely organized and know where everything is, but I’m the messiest person in the world, especially when I am working because I like to see everything at once. I Love swivel sticks too, and I don’t own a single one. I have a good friend who has cup upon cups full on her cabinet. I Love to go through them. Everyone gives them to her for gifts because she loves them so much!
      Happy Halloween!
