Bienvenue, I'm Guisselle a Parisienne vagabond with a well rooted Colombian & New York soul that loves the transcultural amalgam my parents nurtured my life with. I photography and this mashup is a life & style journal through my amateur pen and lens. Bisous!

Beware... on occasion I may drop a little riff-raff intellect but bounce right back to articulate & academic #urbanchic-A
Paz !

My sistas from otha' mistas doin' their Latin freestyle thang. 


1982–1987: Origin of Latin freestyle 
Freestyle music developed primarily in the Latino communities of New York City in the early 1980s. It initially was a fusion of synthetic instrumentation and syncopated percussion of 1980s electro, as favored by fans of breakdancing.

An old flame is rekindled


I was thinking about selling my 2010 Chloe patent leather and crystal boots that I hadn't worn in over a 1.5 yrs but after yesterday's compliments from strangers well..... naaahhhhh! 

It's fun (and cheap too!) to shop within your own closet and rethink a million new ways to rock your forgotten past loves.

Coucou family, 
I have missed you all incredibly and have always had you in my thoughts. I took a 6 month blogging sabbatical because I wanted to focus on family, friends and a tinny, weenie, lil project I had underway.... my wedding.

Anyway, if anyone wants to keep up with this m.i.a. gal or see me throwdown in the kitchen, you can follow me on Instagram 

Instagram
or my personal Facebook page here 

ps: Merci, merci, merci for the emails asking my whereabouts and requesting to return. Your feedback really meant alot especially because I have never opened this blog for comments since its inception and had disabled Google friend connect.

C'était un Rendezvous

I know this route like the back of my hand cuz' it's where I work and live. 
Claude Lelouch- C'était un Rendezvous (1976)

The film shows an eight-minute drive through Paris in the early hours of the morning. Well-known landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe, Opéra Garnier, and Place de la Concorde with its obelisk are passed, as well as the Champs-Élysées. The final shot the car is parked in front of a curb on Montmartre (-> our barrio yay!), with the famous Sacré Cœur Basilica behind.
