Ooo la la, what is it about the French? That certain je ne sais quoi even down to the very tippy tips of their hair. I am tempted to do something with my lackluster hair. I don't hate my hair by any means, it's just...it's only justthere. Here are some vintage hairstyle inspirations from a few 1960s French babes including Chantal Goya, Francoise Hardy, and of course the bombshell Brigitte Bardot.











There's definitely a theme here...bangs! Wispy, soft, and not too blunt. Hmm...should I get bangs?

I adore this sort of dancing. It's silly and simple and you feel as if you could just jump right in and snappity snap get into the groove of things.

My all time favorite dance scene of course is Audrey Hepburn in "Funny Face" when she is in the "Beatnik" bar in Paris. Oh, Audrey, how I love thee!

Anna Karina's rise to fame is very much a Cinderella story. She moved to Paris without a penny to her name or knowing any French at the age of 17. She was approached by a rep from an ad agency while sitting at a cafe who asked if she would like to do some photos. This lead to a successful modeling career then later she appeared in movies, sang songs, and lived happily ever after.



And just for fun and because this video always makes me smile and makes me want to dance in a line and clap... Anna Karina dancing in "Band of Outsiders" (1964 - directed by Jean-Luc Godard)
