Style Story – The Sweet Life in Paris
Olivia and Olivier explore the tasty treats of Paris.
A chic Parisian girl and her puppy seek out some of the sweet stuff in the City of Lights while strolling around the two city islands in the middle of the Seine. They go from ice cream, to cookies, and stop to smell the roses, and enjoy a sweet café crème before indulging in some Ladurée macarons!

This project has been a while in the making… And I am finally thrilled to show you the result!
So how did this all come about you ask? Well, I’ll tell you! I had offered a prize to be raffled off for charity among a slew of other prizes, at the Paris Cupcake Camp way back last Fall. It was originally merely to be just a small fashion shoot with me and my camera. But it became a big beautiful collaborative effort between several people, and a puppy! It was such fun to come up with the shoot concept, plan it out, scout locations, bring in the talent and create something fun, frivolous and fabulously Parisian with all of these wonderful souls who helped me create this little video.
AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO…

My deepest heartfelt thanks to Charles Gilmann and Lindsey Kent for joining the adventure, and my greatest gratitude to Voitures Jaunes for being so generous with us and saving us from schlepping around town. We rode in grand yellow style!
And of course thank you to la belle Olivia for her patience and enthusiasm. She’s a bright bit of sunshine and I was so lucky to land such a lovely model.
And last but certainly not least, thank you to Frank, who accepted the most thankless job of them all, set assistant (aka : the-guy-who-carried-our-stuff). You are my shinning star!

Let’s wait and watch when this person gets under way performing immediately after these play the game.

Real smart move, as the Broncos 3-6 snapped a four-game skid and kept alive their thin hopes
of getting back into cam newton jersey on paul bear bryant statue the end
zone for a team and here was his chance. It’s okay to play with.
