this is the most gutsy thing i have ever done

okay so here it goes, the most gutsy thing i have done on laporte rouge or pretty much anywhere is show that many pictures of myself at once. why have i chosen to do so, first i was awarded an award that would talk about my beauty regime (ha let's just say i would  have liked to answer tea, olive oil, probiotics and working outside) and two because i have had a serious bout of low self esteem( i really do) that  has paralysed me the last few months i would love to share more about it but truth be told i go into a bad place when i do and i am tired of it. i have been unhappy with the way i have looked for far too long now and hope to some how break that cycle- so please forgive me for the me overload! wait why would someone with low self esteem show that many pictures of herself I HAVE NO CLUE perhaps shock therapy:)
I won a 'I love your blog' prize from beautiful and talented  sofia, if you have not visited sofia at "etre soi" you are missing out. etre soi means be yourself i think that is lovely and powerful!

1. Why did you create the blog?
i had started a blog prior to this one to process some things i was going through that , i had just closed my shop and wanted to gather pretty things for grey sky days, slowly it became about what i saw daily and where i live.

2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
i follow blogs that have a real genuine feel to them, that take my breath away, move me and make me think.



3. Favourite makeup brand?
i do not wear any( i probably should)

white, more specifically snow white

camille claudel, she changed my life or perhaps what i meant to say  i began to understand who i am from this film.

9. What country would you like to visit and why?
mongolia because, i literally am moved to tears every time i see a photograph taken there.

10. Make the last question and answer to yourself:
why did you except to do this
because i need too get out of my shell, because something has ot happen and i was honoured by sofia's request.

summer color




hello! okay so i must apologize for the lack of new photographs it seems that i have not be able to capture much. sometimes when i dive deep into books i seem to have a hard time finding my way back:) so i thought maybe i would make my next few post on color, the irony of this is that i have been craving the greys of fall, i think that with all the rain from the past few weeks somehow i thought fall was coming not to mention the stories i am reading take place in london and paris ( both these places are beautiful and grey), but it is not and that is good soon the the whole place will be bursting with vibrant & edible color!

unveiling the funk





moments of happiness have been here all along
yet somehow lately, I can't get out of my own way.
i am sad that I have wasted this much time in a funk
because even though for a while(long while) I have been saying
be in the moment go through it own it.......but now I can't help but feel
it has gone on for far to long.

get over it already, i say, but she isn't listening!

*I have to confess, i am not a fan of the cross as a religious symbol, but when visiting Sante Fe I went to Chama and came across this antique cross made of red clay the beads are all hand rolled- it was damaged but that made it even more perfect-
(somehow I feel like i just got a revelation about myself)

Santa Fe


The last few years I have spent a month in Santa Fe.
The colors are amazing -if it is on a door of an adobe,
or the color of a poppy or in the ten thousand galleries
(may not be an exaggeration)or the food on your plate and even the plate itself.
I love walking up and down the streets with camera in my hand. I am not sure when I will go this year, but last year at this time
I was there!
