Fairytale Hausfrau: Chanel No. 5, Audrey, Istanbul

We’re an American family living just outside of Bitburg, in the scenic but often-damp Eifel countryside of far-western Germany. We got the crazy notion to buy a haus here, and even though it’s not the renovated barn/carriage house/crumbling country manor of our dreams, it’s pretty cool—when the plumbing and heating are working properly. When we aren’t traveling, we live a pretty quiet life. Stop by for frequent doses of Gemütlichkeit, which just basically means a sense of coziness and intimacy--and an unhurried pace to counter the frenetic nature of modern life. Doctor's orders! Oh, and a special hello to anyone visiting from the Spangdahlem Air Base community!

Chanel No. 5, Audrey, Istanbul

This commercial, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, has been out for quite some time, but I just love it and had to share it here. Of course Audrey Tautou is fabulous and Chanel No. 5 is a classic, but there's also just something about the luxe feel of this little film that is so mesmerizing. It's fueling my wanderlust and definitely increasing my desire to visit Istanbul, in particular. Maybe next year?

For more glitzy escapism starring Audrey Tautou, see Priceless, which was recommended by Valerie. Fun!

Hausfrau said...: I adore Amélie, Relyn! It's one of my very favorites, too. I went to see it in a theater in Dallas when it first came out--I just knew I would like it. I have a couple of pics from "her" café in Paris, from our Paris trip in April.; December 19, 2010 at 11:49 AM
