SPOTLIGHT: KELLY FRAMEL
“My parents always discouraged us from buying into the ‘trendy’ looks that the mall was pushing. No Abercrombie allowed in our house! I remember my mom taking me into Goodwill when I was very young. She made it a game ~ here’s $10, see what you can put together with that. From then on I was hooked to the thrill of the chase!” – Kelly Framel on vintage clothing for Dujour Magazine
NY Fashion Week is closely arriving and I’m also excited that I will be going to Paris for the first time! I’ve never traveled internationally alone and what concerns me is navigating around Paris because I don’t speak one word of French. However, it should be a fairly interesting trip where I hope to split part of my time touring the city and participating in random food excursions. I must thank Kelly for informing me of a great website that listed vacation rentals because I originally felt distressed searching for affordable lodging in the heart of Paris. I had been following Kelly’s blog, The Glamourai, for some time and I remember being tantalized by her style consisting of various shapes, textures, patterns, and colors. While she embraces different pieces effortlessly, I also find that she possess an amazing talent for creating beautiful self-designed jewelry – both of which are something worth checking out.

she is incredible. i love the way she puts together an outfit. the colours in these photos are so great. i love the third one where the colours of the building behind her is sort of picking put the purple shades in her hat, shoes, and skirt. so beautiful. paris sounds amazing. i am sure once you get there it will all flow really naturally and you’ll be just fine. xx

The Glamourai! She is rapidly becoming one of my favorite fashion bloggers. Her style is really rich, so much style, color and full of life. Great photos of her by the way. Have fun in Paris!

Great shots of a great beauty. She is most definitely the freshest style out there, and number one on my list of style bloggers. Bon voyage by the way. Looking forward to your Paris shots.

What wonderful photos!
Feb 01, 2010 @ 1:37 pm
things to remember,
ou est le… (oo eh luh)
where is the…
s’il vous plait (see voo play)
please
merci (mare see)
thank you
bonjour (the “n” is soft but sounds like it looks)
hello/good morning
au revoir (oh vwah) (don’t pronounce the “re”)
goodbye
cafe au lait (ka fay oh lay)
basically a latte
alot of english words stem from french anyway so you’ll be surprised how often just saying the english word is understood.
also, in my experience, many people spoke english with no trouble so you should be fine. you might want to consult one of those traveler’s language guides. they aren’t perfect but they’re better than nothing.
have a great time in paris! take lots of pictures.
oh and the photos look great. good positioning and use of the back ground to draw the eye in. kelly is gorgeous.

Great shoot! Each and every one a home run winner. The light is perfection. She reminds me of a young Isabella Rosellini. Enjoy Paris. Off to check out her site as well, thanks for the intro.

She’s fabulous, & I love her mom’s philosophy. What a great start for a style icon’s life! I didn’t know her blog, will definitely check it out. Absolutely beautiful photo shoot, Jason.
So you’re off to Paris! Have a wonderful time. I was thinking of going, but saving my energy for London Fashion Week. If there’s any chance you’re going to London, too, I’d love to meet. Just let me know.
I love your photography & blog. You just get better & better. I’d love to do a street style guest swap NY/LON thing sometime!
