Shopping ~ Part 4 of My Trip to France

As promised, here are some of my favorite finds from France...

~ Brokante Gloves ~ 

I spotted these gorgeous gloves in a this darling little boutique and knew I couldn't leave without them.  I have a thing for gloves yet I rarely get to wear them.  Living in L.A. we don't have many days that require them, but I'm hoping I'll get to wear these more often because they are very lightweight.  

The fabric is so soft and and I love the way the designer incorporated red and black leather details.

When I got home I Googled the name so I could share more info with you and I found these great fashion shots!

Will I look like this if I wear these gloves?  Regardless, I can't wait to wear them!

I bought this beautiful handle-less teacup in Nice.  

Beautiful photo postcards from the flea market

Mini postcards from the flea market

I love this whimsical ring! It's silver and signed on the back by the designer.  Check out all the cool jewelry by Taratata here

Aren't these earring cute?  I thought the dog theme was so adorable!

I found this vintage hand painted brooch at the flea market.


I thought this little Paris girl was so cute so she had to come home with me.  The artist is Isabelle Kessedjian and she lives in Paris.  Check out her adorable blog here.

I found this cute summery tunic in Paris and knew it would be perfect to wear in the South.  While in Nice, we found this fabulous shop with all cotton and linen pieces.  I bought a dress, a skirt and a really cool layered, flouncy tunic top as well.  

I was really happy with all my finds!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great rest of the week!
