Imelda's Inspiration Pt.11

I think you've already guessed by looking at the amount of posts that have been posted on my blog the past week, but I've been very busy this week. I guess I'm still struggling with the combination of work and blogging, especially since the sales are right around the corner (we're busy with the preparations). 

I'm sure I'll get things back on track after a good and long sleep ;) So please forgive my absence on this and on your blogs.

Today's post is filled with beautiful black and white pictures that I've collected over the years. I think that black and white photography has such great power and most of the time I like it more.

The funny thing is that I only picked pictures that are (in some way) related to Paris and I only realised it after I uploaded them. What can I say? I'm in love with this city.

I wish you all a very great weekend!

Love,

Imelda

The Best Picture

No words needed, this picture is just pure perfection!

I saw this picture on the Aux Payx Des Merveilles blog and I just had to post it on my blog too.

Ile d'Oléron Part 1

I finally managed to select a "few" pictures to give you guys an idea of the beautiful place where I spended my holidays this year. The lovely Ile d'Oléron at the Atlantic Ocean. I used to spent every summer there untill the year I turned 16. I was so happy to be back there and I'm so going back in a few years.

We did so many fun things: go to the beach, walk around in our village (Le Chateau), visited some other villages on the Island and the mainland, we went to La Rochelle and to Bordeaux (I fell in love with Bordeaux!!!), did some shopping, I ate so many macarons that I lost count :p, I discoverd the Caramel au beurre salé (it's delicious), .... Really just to much to tell!

We took over 400 pictures, so I made a small selection for you guys to maybe fall in love with this wonderful place to.

We didn't take picture of Fort Boyard, we forgot the camera that day (not so smart, I know).

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed looking at our pictures! Part 2 will be online in a few days. I'll be showing you guys what I bought during my vacation.

Have a lovely weekend!
