Eva Green: Real Glamour Of A Real Diva

There are not many women who spread glamour whenever they grace the cover a magazine. 27-year old Eva Green is a real diva who sets herself in scene like a real woman. No question that she is the perfect model for Dior's new fragrance Midnight Poisson.

Today I came over this photo shoot by Patrick Demarchelier for Vanity fair, Eva posing in black lingerie in a boudoir. Who else could create an atmosphere like this and who else would be as perfect to present lingerie...black lingerie. For me black was always the only real colour for lingerie, so there are to aspects of the shoot I really appreaciate to see. When it comes to Eva's opinion, she admits "I love photo shoots where I can be like a pinup, not myself," Green says. "Where I can be feminine, glamorous, dark … not like in real life. I hate it when you go in and they want you to be 'natural,' to be yourself. I just hate it. I love having fun. When they ask you to smile, I hate it. Of course I smile in my real life, but to do it on cue, that's not spontaneous. I'd rather do something that's like a little movie, like a little story, rather than just me—I feel naked."

It is a bit Teese-like but this is about presenting lingerie with class!

The Perfect Coffee Place: Bread And Roses Bakery and Deli Café

Having passed the Bread And Roses Bakery quite a few times without stopping but longing, we dedid to stop by on a beautyful automn saturday.
After careful inspection we went for some tasty scones with some whipped cream and marmalade. Bread And Roses is situated at rue de Fleurus just a view steps from the Jardin de Luxembourg and on the opposite of the A.P.C. Outlet (which is an advantage as well). It is Bakery, Epicerie and Café in one. If you are tired of traditional baguette you will find nice cereal bread in different variations, if you are tired of small and strong coffee you will get a nice big café latte with loooots of milk or a scone instead of a pain au chocolat. Everything and I mean really everything looks lovingly prepared and tasty. You can have breakfast there and they serve smaller dishes like salads, quiches and tartines. Their products are all organic with this in consideration, reasonalbly priced (10 - 14 EUR for a salad, 3 EUR for Pastries and 4 EUR for a nice big coffee).

The café is one of my favorite places and I plan to go there regularly. Besides the english procucts are a nice diversion to the traditional parisian cafés and you can take the advantage of buying a healthy cereal bread or other specialities like fois gras or antipasti for dinner.
