Color me coral

March 21, 2012 by findingpaola

Coral is one of my favorite spring colors. I think it compliment brown skin really well. It was Friday night in San Antonio, a full day before the wedding. After a delicious meal and a night of harmonious toasts to the bride and groom, we sat outside. Sipping on cocktails, talking, laughing. Many conversations all going at once, forming a song of happiness. The streets were busy, it felt like there was a party in every corner. The bar next […]

La plage et mes lunettes coeur!

January 30, 2012 by findingpaola

Last year one of the main things I wanted to own apart from my awesome bendable hula hoop was a pair of heart shaped sunglasses. It takes a lot to make me happy, right? I went through a phase where I browsed everywhere on the internet to find the best pair. I ended up with three, the third one came by accident. Now that I have them, I wear them all the time. I love wearing them mostly in the […]

Halloween! Night 1 + video makeup tutorial

October 31, 2011 by findingpaola

My first night of Halloween celebration started this past Friday. A show girl, a leopard and the devil herself bounced around to different parties and bars. We started in the West Village and ended up in MeatPacking Distrikt. I know, I know, I really didn’t want to end up in MePa this halloween, but it was actually not as crowded and miserable as I anticipated. I had room to dance, and that’s all that matters. I had a very […]

Your highness…

October 27, 2011 by findingpaola

I made this video last night talking about what my Halloween costume will be. I spoke just like I would if I were speaking with friends. A little drama, an awful accent at times, and of course funny faces. There’s a snippet of my little fabric shopping adventure in the video. By the way, the shoes above are what I wore during my fabric hunt, and they’re currently my favorite flats! Enjoy!

Theater Bar: Let the show begin!

October 5, 2011 by findingpaola

Theatre Bar located on Franklin Street in Tribeca joins my list of favorite bars in New York City. It’s undeniably true that I have a strong affection for cocktail bars, but I try to be very selective since the experience is always pricey, and the ambiance can either be too stuffy and pretentious. This one does not only deliver on the cocktail-making front, but the stunning décor and cozy atmosphere is what captured my love. We walked through plush […]

“An Adventure in Central Park”

September 16, 2011 by findingpaola

You know what truly makes me happy? When I look back on something I’ve taken part in that I feel absolutely proud to show the world. I’ve decided to share this video Lauren and I filmed on Saturday. The goal was for our individual personalities to shine through while we just had fun. Nothing was really planned, and we just went along with it. Our cameraman, Lauren’s Boyfriend, Yesid was very patient with our shenanigans, but I absolutely love the […]

dancing in the office

August 24, 2011 by findingpaola

Sometimes, an office should not be stuffy and boring. It should be open to fun and bubbles! Open to laughter and dancing! Open to Paola and all of her craziness! Video of me and my colleagues, dancing with our bubble guns. This was after 5;30, right before we headed home, so don’t you think we slack off at the job! Signing off… The Bubble Master

Lunch in Bryant Park

August 23, 2011 by findingpaola

Summer’s ending. The days are slowly but surely getting shorter. The subtle morning breeze mocks me and reminds me that fall is near. Being a sunshine child, born and raised in Haiti, I’m dreading the days I have to layer up. I do enjoy the nice fall jackets, and boots, but they only represent the coming of winter, no matter how fashionable and chic they look. I’m the girl who has no problem wearing just a tank top and short […]
