This is Ömer and me, in a random photobooth in Paris, 2008. Yes I know, I should totally go back to blond. Yes yes I know pink looks perfect on me.Oh yes my skin is flawless.

One thing I also know is I have awesome friends. They are always there when I am down. You can’t imagine how a lucky bitch I am!

No matter what happens in my life, no matter how sad I become, I can keep smiling as soon as I remember that I have the best husband, best sister and best friends!

I love you with all my heart  ❤

As I said, this weekend was hilarious. We had the chance to spend some quality time together with my husband. Saturday was perfect. We had a lovely dinner and then we saw the movie The Artiste which I was dying to see, on a late soiree.

It is a really, really successful movie. Though I haven’t seen all the nominee movies for Oscars 2012, I’m sure this movie will outshine  in many categories.

Sunday morning, I continued sewing my Star Wars Mini Toy Collection. I saw a collection like this on Etsy and instead of buying it, I started to make my own. So far I’m done with Yoda and Princess Leia.

It looks tiny and  easy but I assure you, It’s tiring.

At the weekends, we always watch Master Chef. Beside from routinizing to go to a restaurant that we’ve never been before, once a month, we decided to try interesting and difficult recipes at home. And again, monthly. I really wonder the taste of shrimps with some apple sauce.

Again on Sunday, I did a little make over for our bedroom. I mentioned before, we stopped all the domestic issues as there is a chance we move from this house, even from this city. But this doesn’t count.

By the way, I’m really happy to see that I can inspire my followers to create things! Please send me the photos of things you make and I can share them here. :)

We are super excited about coming weeks because we are invited to a very cool party that one of our friend’s hosting. It’s in honor of  Valentine’s Day.

I’ll be reporting more from Terziler Mansion in coming weeks. I continue my 5 Things J’adore and Last Fm Hunt posts. My last guest was The Part-Time Friends. You can find their mp3s and album here.

A la prochaine mes petits ❤

I’m a Paris lover! I’m in love with everything about Paris and  everything related to Paris. I can’t help it. It’s in my blood… Paris is my favorite city in the world. (I haven’t seen New York yet but I know It can’t beat my love for Paris )

And when I find out more about  the beautiful and brilliant parisien people, my love gets bigger and bigger and bigger…

The Part-Time Friends are one of them. I immediately fell for their music the first time I listened. The friends are Florent Biolchini (composer) and Pauline Lopez de Ayora (lyrics). Here is their story from their mouths;

” Frankly, how many chances do we have to meet the right person in the right time? The Part- Time Friends is just a story of encounter.

Flaurent wished to make some noises with his telecaster and Pauline wished to recite poems with a microphone. It was strange, it was awkward but it wasn’t important because they’ve found each other and it was the beginning of something.

Two years later, Florent puts his telecaster into a corner for a Seagull acoustic and Pauline admits that she is never going to be a “Patti Smith” and these two together decide to become what they really are.

They realize that whatever comes out is always with clumsiness and fragility inside but it never disturbs anyone, on the contrary it was enternaining and touchy.

Pauline said in a song that she only writes for Florent’s melodies  « Don’t give up on me, my words are for your melodies only »

The two together discover the folk/pop stages in Paris by playing here and there, in Pop in, in les Disquaires, in Point Ephémère, in La Scene Bastille.

In 2011, the duo decide to become a band and call themselves “musiciens”.

Clement, who lives in a loft and plays every single instrument, is impressed by their music and offered to record their first EP which is about love and Alaska.

This first EP made them to be selected for Inrocks Festival in July 2011 and to participate in Inrock Labs competition.

They register a new EP which is going to be out in January 2012 ( Still not released ) and they  collobarate with Clément in guitar and keyboard, Chris Mc Caughey in drums and Nicolas in bass.”

Their Facebook page and Myspace page.

Here’s the link that you can listen and buy their first album  ” The Full Time Fighters”

My favorite songs are Woo-hoo I’m Just a Little Bird and I Don’t Want A Boyfriend. But each song is very beautiful.

Waiting for their second album and definetly want to listen them live one day. ❤
