Voodoo Party / Prescription Cocktail Bar

Prescription Cocktail Bar is the sort of bar you've walked by plenty of times and never notice. The interior, however, is the sort of place you don't forget, what with its 18th century, British imperialistic decor. Billed as a cocktail club, the cocktails are excellent, but the real reason you'll find this place attractive is for the people-watching. On a Voodoo/Safari themed night, the crowd was fantastic. The first girl wore her animal headband in the best way possible: nonchalantly. The second girl lit up the room with her embellished dress and purse. The third photo is a couple on smoking break outside the bar, complementing each other perfectly in their pristine, white outfits with leather details.

Exiting a Vintage Store / Le Marais

Photographed by Monica Rojo.

I can't claim ownership for this photo. This one is all my friend, Monica Rojo. She spotted these two kids leaving a vintage shop in Le Marais and followed them outside for a photo. The outfits these two kids wore were so meticulously thought out, and it is only evident when you look closely at them. But perhaps, my favorite details were the lady-like earrings and the glasses on a chain.

The Cool Kid's Club / Bois du Boulogne

Bagatelle is the cool kid's club. Located a bit far from the Paris city centre, at Bois du Boulogne, no amount of attitude can get you in. You need a reservation. This means that plenty of kids are left hanging outside the hunting lodge / club, and the scene is just as cool on the outside as it is on the inside.

The first is a man who caught my eye with his uninhibited dancing. At 5 AM, the chilly night air and extinguished gas lamps were clearing out the terrace, but he was still going. I loved his ensemble and grape-colored hat. He's a modern-day dandy. And he knows how to have fun. Then, the girl struck me as "French" with her brown, wavy hair, fresh face and lace, white and black dress. She was perfectly casual but perfectly pretty. She's cool without trying too hard, an attitude that the French are best at exuding.

Le Bal des Pompiers / St. Sulpice

At the Annual Bastille Day Fireman's Ball, at the St. Sulpice station, this twenty-something-year-old was dressed rather conservatively. He wore jeans, a button-down shirt, loafers and reading glasses; so I was surprised when I caught a glimpse of his brightly colored bracelet.

Working on Mood Boards for Istituto Marangoni

These are mood boards we had to work on for the Image Consultant course at Istituto Marangoni Paris. Each depicts a trend, the first being the 1950's, the second is Minimalism and the third is Riviera Chic. I have tried taking these photos multiple times with different lighting but there is always a glare, I wish the quality was better.

Utility / Pont Neuf

Photographed by Monica Rojo.

Getting this shot was terribly embarrassing. It involved a bit of power-walking, camera mishaps, and language barriers, but this boy was truly a gentleman about letting me take his photo multiple times. I love his relaxed, utility look but his gold, sports watch and messenger bag completed the look.

Black and White / Le Marais

I ran into this boy while I sat at a bar with some friends. He walked by on the cobblestone street and the first thing to catch my eye was his amazing, ink-black hair and how it lay dramatically against his pale, gaunt cheekbones. But then I caught sight of his collarbone and I decided I needed a photo. However, the detail that ties it all together for me is his white belt and the unique way he wears it.

Youthful Utility / Place Dauphine

This boy can't be more than six years old? I can't say. I'm terrible with ages. But like many French people I have met, he seems to have an innate sense of style, even at his young age. Of course, style isn't just evident in his military green, utility shorts; for the one or two minutes I was snapping away, he remained confidently aloof as he played a game with shiny, silver balls and made the Place Dauphine his own arena.
