My sister and I spent a some time getting lost in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. We did not literally lose our way, but in that maze it could easily have happened (especially if I had ventured there alone). Although, the Pere Lachaise is reported to be the most visited cemetery in the world, on this particular day it was a very quiet space in the bustling city. A cold wind whipped between the tombstones and brown leaves rustled beneath our feet, making it seem as if fall is truly on its way.

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
I love Pere Lachaise, I have a strange fascination with cemeteries and that one is so beautiful and haunting. Its like once you get lost in it all sun goes down creating a truly eerie and effective atmosphere
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying all the posts about your trip. You're taking such beautiful pictures!

Looks so atmospheric and beautiful. Highgate Cemetary in London is a great cemetary too.
ReplyDeleteEverything here looks great, including your outfit. :)

If you're passing by London again, you should definitely make it to Highgate Cemetery, it's the dreamiest place I've been to in the whole world.
ReplyDeletethe playsuit is so cute! it suits you lovely.
ReplyDeletewell as creepy as this may sound, those graveyard shots are great!!
Beautiful photos and romper!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cemeteries in Paris. We stayed in a lovely small hotel across from the Mont Parnasse Cemetery where many celebrities are buried. Each grave reflects their personas.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying your posts. :-D
I love the photos you have been taking on your trip, they are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour rings are also gorgeous!
love your rings!
ReplyDeleteI actually did get lost literally at Pere Lachaise in April with some of my classmates, it's quite a haunting place now isnt it :D
ReplyDeleteHmmm, never thought of taking photos at a cemetery but that's interesting... Doesn't it scare you just a tiny bit?

There is a particular moment in Paris Je T'aime which focuses on the deteriorating romance between a couple played by Emily Mortimer and Rufus Sewell... They were arguing about the lack of romance in their lives, sparked when she kisses Oscar Wilde's grave. At the end of it, the man sees Oscar Wilde's ghost, and he inspires the man to infuse more love and affection into the relationship, which in effect, saves them as a couple.
ReplyDeleteGreat.
This is a romantic kind of sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city, as you say. Here the leaves are changing, and I want to take a solemn, quiet walk around the cemeteries here, just basque in the falling leaves and reverence that fills those hallowed grounds.

Mae Lu, thereafterish.
Just reading the title of this post made my heart flutter... I dream of someday visiting Pere Lachaise. One of my all time favorite poets/musicians rests there... the one and only Jim Morrison. <3
ReplyDeleteLove the whole outfit you're wearing here; jumpsuit, shades, shoes and bag :)

I love your romper. And thanks for all the trip photos, I feel like I get to see a part of the world too!
ReplyDeleteI've always found cemeteries to be a place full of mystery and serenity, a great place for a photoshoot, if one isn't into superstition...
ReplyDeleteYou have the best collection of rings. I love all three that you're wearing.
Thank you for sharing the trip photos, they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNow you made me want to go there, too ;)
I love your Outfit, too, you look very pretty!
Did you find Oscar Wilde? I spent hours trying to find him. The map was hardly any help. Apparently his tomb is covered in lipstick kiss marks.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! I was there 6 years ago, but my camera was not as nice as it is now! I wish I had these great shots!
ReplyDeleteps. cute outfit for a day walking around and exploring!

i dun wanna sound THAT ignorant, but i really had NO idea that there was a "most visited cemetry"; and on top of that, i had to google search who Thomas Couture was! this post has been quite educational for me, dear!
ReplyDeletei like the soaring bird ring u've got. i think it really matches the outfit well :)
(p.s. thanks for the visit; i didnt think u'll visit that soon, considering the numbers of comments u've got! its really been a pleasant surprise *smiles*)

ReplyDeletehaha, mental, I was there on wednesday. it's awesome, huh? xx
ReplyDeleteWhen my husband and I toured Pere Lachaise it was cold and rainy, and I imagine that's the best weather in which to tour a cemetery. We were also a bit hungover which added to the glum mood of the place. I'm really enjoying all your photos of the trip (and the style of your travelling wardrobe!)
