ckparis and interview with aden of gavilane paris

bonjour.
i went to visit Gavilane in the marais last month in paris.
Gavilane is a wickedly wonderful place to check out on your next sojourn to paris.
the proprietor, aden, was in the shop and helped me pick out a fabulous
tete de mort necklace/belt/whatever from his recent collection.
if you are fascinated by the gothic, mysterious, dark,
this is the place to shop.
the music playing in Gavilane went perfectly with the jewelry, designs and clothing.
d. noticed a CD cover with a guy that looked like a dead ringer for the guy in the store who was helping me.
aden confirmed that it was his pix on the CD cover and he was the one singing.

the following is my Q & A interview with aden.

Q: bon jour aden, how long has gavilane been in the marais?
A: 12 years

Q: what was your inspiration for creating Gavilane?
A: We love creation, and we have been making custom jewellery for 22 years.

Q: what is your favorite medium to work with?
A: we don't follow trends and we keep classic inspiration through vanity and
decadent accessories.

Q: when is your studio CD coming out?
A: i hope in febuary, we will mention on gavilane.com and aden music.fr .

Q: what is your most cherished possession?
A: my cherished possession is to possess nothing.

Q: what is your favorite color?
A: black

Q: when is your birthday?
A: december 7
Q: i think you can pass for a scorpio imo.

Q: tell me something most people do not know about you:
A: you know, I spend my time to work since a very long time
and actually I dream music, sometime I believe cause all my life
is writing and I live in my world (monde) dans l'inconscience.
the only difference is today I know I can die and my personal life is more
and more complicated.
I hope to have enough time.

Q: i understand living dans l'inconscience. i spend a lot of time on the
astral plane, the fourth dimension.
does that make sense to you?
A: inconscience: to be strong and for protection of life
avec l'inconsciene on avance sans se poser de questions.

Q: d'accord. c'est tout...
see you on the astral plane

zillion dollar chauss smile.

note: you need to be on a pc or apple to watch the vlog.
it won't play on cell phones and if you know what i need to do to fix that, please let me know.
all vlogs were taken with an iphone 4 and uploaded thru photobucket to blogspot.

this mini vlog was taken the first night i arrived in paris in front of my favorite choclate store window to gaze at in a mesmerized state.

you can see my literally jumping up and down bc:
1. i was in paris again finally!!!
2. it was about 30 degrees and i am a chick from constant nonstop tropical balmy weather
3. i am standing in front of freakin' chocolate waterfall, and this is the real deal
on the third dimension, no astral plane needed here
4. did i say, i am in paris!!!

p.s. i am so mesmerized by this window that i actually stared into it once long enough to see the chocolate store's owner descend down the staircase in her nightgown and robe to grab a piece of chocolate and scurry back upstairs.
true story.
really.

how many people stare into a chocolate store window on the rue st honore when it is closed at 10:00 pm?

see you on the astral plane.

more $$$ than aa, but way more detailed.
and yeah, VPL stands for visible panty line or very pretty lingerie
which is meant to be seen.

the VPL bra in the pix has a a beige band, black cups finished with silver gray
mesh and cognac brown straps with silver slides.

and my givenchy black 'gale avec a very blotted down clasic red lip.

see you on the astral plane.

i adore the black velvet and black chiffon materials used for this back pack.
perfect blend of goth, biker chic and debutante school girl.

the madonna pix on the t shirt is the cover of her first album, madonna.

this is non sequitor post.

moi? caught like a deer in the headlights on the floor.
i have a mac lipstick in my hand, givenchy black distressed 'gale,
ralph lauren hat, smooshy random gray shirt
and assorted chauss-elets.

can you tell i have scorpio eyes?
you can usually pick out scorpios bc no matter what the eye color, the eyes will usually have a hypnotic, intense trait that is instantly recognizable.

vintage ann turk black 'gator bag was located in my disorganized closet. judy has another vintage ann turk bag featured on her blog at atlantis home.
i have another one in cognac leather with silver turtles
climbing up the shoulder straps which is
still lost in the abyss of my closet...

see you on the astral plane.

ckparis and all saints washed leather

hey all, how is the week going?

i went to all saints again and gotta say, all saints has a nice selection of washed and distressed leather jackets.
not zara prices, but very far from rick owens prices, too.

i liked the the selection for guys and asked monsieur ihave'tude to model the
all saints black washed leather hoodie jacket.

see you on the astral plane.

ckparis and zana bayne three strap belt

hey all, what's going on?
tell me...

moi? hanging out in basics avec the three strap belt by
zana bayne. i had seen pix of her amazing belts being used as on the waist.
i thought zana's three strap would look good on the hips with low rise jeans and/or skirts too.
after consulation with zana, we figured out her three strap belt would fit in my belt loops and that i could wear some straps in the loops and some out of the loops.

being a lazy sunday, i paired zana's three strap with a distressed denim mini, smooshy oversized t shirt, black cap, gianni barbato distressed brown leather cowboy boots and vintage diesel denim back pack.
unexpectedly, the three strap belt became a fringe that hung below the skirt in a way that actually worked.
(someone asked me if i was a fashion designer that day bc they thought i always had great stuff on whenever they saw me. must have been zana bayne's belt.)
check out her blog and etsy shop for other creative leather pieces.
tell her ckparis sent you over for a look-see.

can't wait to order my next piece.
thanks, zana.

see you on the astral plane.

ckparis and burberry prorsum aviator shearling booties

hey all. how are you?

i got my burberry prorsum shearling stiletto booties.
more pix soon.

this is a quick pix because it's time for running/walking 184 stories
of high rise stairs.
i know, alien behavior, but cheaper than going to a shrink.
it is amazing what the mind can work out while doing stairs.
not for the faint of heart.

see you on the astral plane.

ckparis, million dollar smile and ralph lauren hat

hey all, what's going on?
paris on the mind...

if you can capture me with a real smile, it's usually worth posting.
i was having so much fun playing with this ralph lauren hat, that it was easy.
sometimes a smile can be your best accessory, n'est pas?
this hat can be worn with the brim in front or in back.
when i flip it around, it looks like a french beret.
(can you tell i am a scorpio?)

make time to laugh every day.
it's a great way to momentarily raise your resonance and escape the crappy stuff on the third.

see you on the astral plane.

ckparis, chess and the italians

hey all, how are you?

sans neon pink laces.
maintenant neon pink socks avec my litas.
don't know what's up with this pop of neon pink phase. hmmmmm....
itsumi bag, and
very vintage distressed levi's jackets with shredded collar and cuffs.

make it a FABULOUS week.

see you on the astral plane.

ckparis and jeffrey campbell litas with pink laces

salutations. what are you all doing?
tell me...

moi? hanging out in my chauss stylized jeffrey campbell litas.
i added hot pink laces tied in a typical chauss mussed up kinda way
to the black leather platforms which come with
uniform black leather laces.
sorta 1980s roller rink downtown look.
pour le weekend.

make it a FABULOUS day and night.

see you on the astral plane.
