This is the beautiful Faustine (she reminds me a little of Mischa Barton) who I met in Lyon, France. She was walking through the pedestrian mall as I was walking off my lunch, having dined at one of Lyon's famous Bouchon restaurants (they serve very traditional Lyonnaise food which rather tested the limits of my internal gastronomic gauge...but that's a story for another day and another blog :)). Faustine was starting her management course at University the day after I took this photograph and was understandably feeling a little nervous-but I think she will do brilliantly. Good luck, Faustine!
Faustine's booties were from French Connection (I think) and her tasselled bag from Lancel. I also love the tiny little clock pendant hanging around her neck-a family heirloom perhaps?

And what did I think of Lyon? I loved it! It is a beautiful city and I would love to go back and spend a little more time exploring. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière on the hill overlooking the city was absolutely incredible- a must-see if you visit Lyon. We also hired Vélo'v bikes (similar to theVelib scheme in Paris) and pedaled madly through the streets late at night back to our hotel- a perfect way to work off dinner and much cheaper than a taxi!
perfect. not a thing out of place.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Rhianna and appreciate the D700's gorgeous bokeh. Now you needn't stand so far away!
ReplyDeleteRhianna- And she was absolutely lovely as well!
ReplyDeleteAnon-thanks so much, anon! I still find it a challenge to approach people (particularly in a foreign country) but it is truly amazing the people I get to meet from all over the world. It makes all the nerves worthwhile :))
Laura Taylor- ta Laura!
Antonio Barros- ahhhh the man with the most beautiful single photos (and women) in the blogging world! Thank you Antonio :)
Anon- I also love the way she scrinches up her nose when she smiles- beautiful!
Cameron- oh yeah the D700 rocks in terms of not having to stand so far back but I have to say that sometimes I do miss the "compression" of the D200 (I might have to take her out for a spin during fashion week!). But wow, the low light capabilities absolutely blow the D200 out of the water!
Yeaaah ! A streetstyle blogger in my town ! So proud et so happy someone like you took a picture in Lyon. It's time to reconnize the Lyonnaise fashion sense ! Of course, Faustine is really beautiful ! Love her smile !
