♛ Stuff That Really Rules: Mirror Mirror On the Wall

Today I would like to introduce you to the most fantastical set of mirrors done by a French artist named Nathalie Lété. When fate brought my eyes and these mirrors together I first thought "all I'd want is the woman with the hat". Then I saw them in pairs (the woman and man then the little boy and girl) and before I knew it, I wanted all four in the series. In my head it was getting dramatic thinking about tearing apart this Parisian family of mirrors. At $85 a pop, who could deny this charming family a place on your wall!

It is no wonder that when I stumbled upon these mirrors that I immediately began drooling over them. While these mirrors aren't available at my favorite store Anthropologie, Nathalie Lété is currently one of their featured artists

You can find these mirrors here and you can visit her website here

Thanks for visiting!

Le Bridgett


After watching many moody fashion documentaries such as Valentino and Seamless, and conducting a few interviews of local designers myself, I realized the number one question people want answered is:
"What inspires you?"
Often the answer is a person or something generic like flowers. After asking myself what most inspires me I began to find it such a frustrating question. It's like someone asking your favorite color when you really love a different color from minute to minute (or maybe that's just me). 



So to answer the question. the inspiration from this outfit was from my stuffed animal weeenieeeee doggy. I had bought a big bag of vintage stuffed animals from the Vacaville Opportunity House and this little cutie was in it. 


Just look how adorable the stitched eyelashes, beret and ears are! Inspired by this French pooch, I decided to sport this dress/top I got from Forever 21 for 2.50! (I just love it when they have the 50% off of 50% off sale...it's like heaven)I felt that the red white and blue stripes were perfect Parisian choice. . I also chose to don a beret because what's more French than a beret? (*Hint...nothing the answer is nothing is more French than a beret ^_^).  I got it at This 'n' That Thrift & Gift when I was on break at the SACFW model casting at Capsity offices the other weekend. I just couldn't help myself. 




(We both have bows on out backsides! X). )

Well...I have nothing else to say...so as awkward as this ending is...

Thanks for visiting The Sun Queen! TTFN.

Shine on,

Oui! I did have have fun!

What a better event for The Sun Queen to cover than at a French market? After-all, the inspiration for this blog was King Lois XIV of France. ;).  

The event took place at the Janet Pomeroy Center in San Francisco. 








 







There were quite a lot of amazing vendors including those who sold French candies, French styled bags, French food and of course, French desserts.

Everything was beautiful even then way the shoes were placed on the ground. 


Spectator Fashion! The lovely lady said she bought all of her adornments from Neiman Marcus and that her husband bought his pants from Italy. Aren't they dressed divinely? 

Overall, the fashion show was both fun and exciting!
