The Girls with Glasses

Check out this really quirky and clever music video clip of Brooke White (singer/songwriter and American Idol Alum) and Summer Bellessa (model and editor of ELIZA Magazine) who are working on introducing a new variety talk show providing perspectives on fashion, entertainment, art and music called, "The Girls With Glasses Show".

The idea behind it is that they believe women want and need a 'smart girl' talk show, and I couldn't agree more. This project is still in the beginning stages, but I hope to watch it come even more alive. Click here to learn more about it on their website. Oh, and by the way... this talented duo also co-wrote and performed the song in the above clip, talk about multi-tasking.

The clip is directed by Angela Kohler and Ithyle Griffiths.

Sitting Area

Going through my binder of clippings I came across this lovely sitting area that would be great to nestle up with a book. Industrial style + coziness, yes please -- and that over-sized clock!

Marc Olivier's ABC Paris + Giveaway *winner announced*

A while back I posted about Marc Olivier's photography and I was happily surprised when Marc emailed to tell me that his ABC Paris prints are now for sale in 5x5 and 8x8 prints as well as a full collage print. The quote by Victor Hugo, "If you know how to see, you can recognize the physiognomy of a king in a door knocker" motivated college professor and photographer Marc to pursue photographing the city of Paris like a book. The scenes focus upon the beautiful found alphabet symbols throughout the Parisian landscape and are stunning when viewed separately or collectively.



The prints start at only $10 and Marc is kind enough to offer a giveaway to Black Eiffel readers the chance to win a $100 gift card to be used in his shop. To enter, please leave a comment on this post (only one per person please) by Friday, April 9th at midnight and the winner will be announced on this post Monday, April 12th.



Also if you are eager to get your hands on a print now, you will receive a 15% discount on his website when you enter the code (BlackEiffel). Thank you Marc!



The winner randomly chosen from random.org for the giveaway is Dolores! Thank you everyone for entering and also to Marc.

Loving this new to me French line called Noro which means "little flower of Madagascar" designed by the Parisian fashion designer Claire LeFort. They have collections for kids and women, and some of the kid's line can be found at Little Fashion Gallery.

Happy Monday.

Hello my friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend and Easter. Over the weekend we surprised our little miss with a bunny (well, actually he is full grown and a 1-year-old) and she is elated. It is a Netherland Dwarf and we are still brainstorming for a good name. Any ideas?

We Have Band

Check out this creative way to make words in the music video 'Divisive' by UK based We Have Band produced by SoLab in Paris. Here is the clip on how they made it. Cool, eh? Happy Music Monday!
