Une Femme Un Style
I let the “Une Femme Un Style” videos play as I continued to tidy my apartment over the weekend. The video series feature beautiful (obviously stylish) women of privilege from the creative industries, who are living in the most well-known cities: Paris, Copenhagen, etc. It inspired me to write my own mock-episode in my head.
What would be my “objects of affection”? What would I showcase and highlight about my studio? Would I have a nickname or name for it? Most importantly, what would I wear and how would I describe my style?
Off the top of my head, my objects of affection: a rock my friend gave from Antarctica. A picture of our now deceased lovely dog, Jesse. My rose quartz. My meditation cushion. I would highlight my kitchenette, which I’m very proud of. I installed the sticker black splash (made up of two separate stickers—one pink and a faux one-inch black tile) myself from a dollar store. I think it’s one of the most fun things I’ve done ever.
I also enjoy finally living with the artwork I’ve managed to collect from everywhere. From Barcelona. North Carolina. Ikea. Lol. That one is a Hilma Af Klimt Print on canvas. My home has become such a safe haven. I can’t imagine living anywhere else right now.
While the YouTube videos played, I managed to at least figure out where a lot of my stationery/notebooks/pens are. They have been consolidated in boxes and one particular shelf. I had such randomly grouped notebooks, of different sizes and paper types. This is an obsession. A sickness. And I wouldn’t consider any one of them an object of affection necessarily…
And how would I describe my style? It’s free.
