Fête de la Musique 2013: Quelles Bonnes Tenues!

Once again, the French Embassy played host to a wonderful Fête de la Musique this past Sarurday.  The House of France, or La Maison Française, in Washington, D.C. co-organized the event with the French-American Cultural Foundation to bring a taste of France to the states and to celebrate World Music Day on the summer solstice.

Between the talented artists, delicious spread of food and drinks, and wonderful musical performances, this certainly was a night to remember.  And on top of all of the fun happenings, there was another aspect to be appreciated: the attendees!  Everywhere we turned, there was inspiration for summer style that just had to be shared.  Here are some of my favorite looks that we captured at the event:

So many great summer looks!  My favorite trends at the festival were: (1) fun stripes and chevron, (2) white and pastels with khaki, (3) pops of reds, pinks, and oranges.

What do you think of the looks we snapped at the Fête de la Musique 2013?  Comment below or reply to us on twitter!

Merci et bonne journée,

B+B Back In Full Summer Swing!

Bonjour BBs!

After a hiatus that was far too long, B+B is back! Articles are already being drafted to fill your summer with information and inspiration.  The first real post will be a feature about the Fête de la Musique, a French tradition on or around the summer solstice to celebrate the art and experience of music.  What a wonderful concept- and even more wonderful that the French Embassy in DC hosts its own festival to share this tradition with American Francophiles and music fiends!  There were a lot of inspiring summer outfits that will be highlighted in the article, so keep an eye out later in the week for that feature article.  We have plenty of pictures to edit and share 

So thrilled to be back and blogging! Wishing you all a happy summer- and that you'll check back in soon to get the full scoop in la Fête!

Gros bisous et bonne journée!
