It’s not often that a French film comes along as moving as the romantic drama En Attendant Bojangles (2022), or “Waiting For Bojangles” in English, directed by Régis Roinsard.

As a longtime fan of French movies and 1960s culture, I couldn’t wait to see this film. 

This film was adapted from the French best-selling novel of the same name, written by first-time author Olivier Bourdeaut, and released in 2016. The book was an instant hit with the French, and I saw it recommended on several occasions since I moved to France in 2019. 

During my Christmas vacation this past December, I finally had the chance to read the book and quickly understood why so many people fell in love with the protagonists.

Set in Paris in 1967, En Attendant Bojangles tells the story of a French couple who personify the French joie de vivre and spend their lives telling stories,

Sometimes there were reasons for a rule that don’t apply anymore. When I was a kid, my mother and grandmother taught me not to wear brown and black together. While as a kid I had to obey this rule, today I love to break it. Read and see how you can combine these colors together in effortlessly chic looks.

History of Clothing with Metallic

Clothing with metallic treats have been around for more than thousand years. However, in antique and the medieval times, only the Nobility and Rich wore these clothes because the threads were namely real gold. The price and Sumptuary Laws prohibited these garments for Jane and John Doe.

Early in the 20^th century, cheap

We’re big fans of the matching-set look, and the elevated version of the matching set is the suit. We love a blazer-and-trouser combination, but this fall, we’re ready to take it up a notch with the three-piece suit, which is essentially a matching blazer, trouser, and vest. The suit vest is a great piece to wear on its own, but as a trio, they’re practically unstoppable, and these are our seven favorite looks.

From a cool, sexy, satin suit that’s perfect for a night out to a unique dark-green suit, a fun pink style, and a metallic suit that will certainly turn heads, these are the three-piece styles we’re crushing on right now. We

Office Halloween Party: The Fun Ends with the Outfit

While weird food for the Halloween potluck may be appreciated, weird costumes are not. It is still the office. Therefore, the Halloween fun ends with the outfit. With this being said:

Stylist’s advice: If your Halloween costume works for a night of Halloween bar hopping, it’s not for the office. Period.

 

 

How to Avoid to Go over Board with Your Costume

Halloween office parties like work picnics, work BBQs or looks for the work holiday party are a style challenge. While the latter three events are

Everyone probably has a shacket in their fall line up by now, but this faux leather shacket is on a whole new level. It’s such an easy way to bring a new texture into even the simplest look, like leggings or denim.  Wearing a size L here for an oversized fit.

From her music to her style, Avril Lavigne’s authority as the pop–punk queen has never been stronger. Since releasing her seventh studio album, “Love Sux,” in February, the “Complicated” singer has appeared in music videos alongside Willow and Machine Gun Kelly and performed on stage with Olivia Rodrigo, looking like a badass during every performance.

On Sept. 25, Lavigne performed her single “Bite Me” at the Rock the Runway: Shein For All event showcasing the brand’s fall/winter 2022 collections. As the Romwe headliner, Lavigne brought her rock-star style to the stage, wearing a lace-up bodysuit, a ripped cropped sweater, cutout pants, and a pair of buckle-up wedge boots.

September is my favorite month of the year. It’s not only the start of la rentrée, akin to the French new year, but it’s also when I celebrate my birthday. Celebrating birthdays has never been a favorite thing of mine to do, but the older I get, the more I realize how fragile life is, and I figure, why not celebrate being alive? Many people don’t get the chance to celebrate another year of life, so it’s important to remember to practice gratitude on one’s birthday.
