Daphne Dasque Paris

72 rue Vieille du Temple, 75003 Paris

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Amandine, PR director at Parisian jewellery brand Daphne Dasque, to invite me to a party to celebrate five years of the brand! I already knew a bit about the brand so I was very excited to attend and find out more about the collections.

The brand was created by childhood friends Daphne Dasque and Mickaëlle Chabat in 2009 with the opening of their exclusive boutique in Paris’ chicest area, Le Marais. Earlier this year, they launched a stand at pioneer vintage and high street store Kiliwatch and this is where I first discovered Daphne’s designs.

 
Daphne Dasque creates rock and roll inspired unisex jewellery, using a mix of mystical and urban symbols such as feathers, snakes and birds. Each piece is carefully handcrafted using silver, oxidised silver and gold plating with beautiful results. Throughout her collections, which include jewellery inspired by Native American culture and journeys through magical landscapes, customers can create their own style by mixing and matching pieces, such as these beautifully simple necklaces with rings. 

This style of jewellery is right up my street – delicate yet tough, perfect. I love how Daphne combines fine metals with contrasting leather for bangles and bracelets. Furthermore, I am obsessed with feathers so the Spirit Lake collection is definitely my favourite and I am pining after the gold-plated feather necklace. 

I was luckily enough to receive this classic silver bangle – a great way to start my personal Daphne Dasque collection! So, if you are ever in Paris you should check out the Daphne Dasque boutique – you will not be disappointed! 


Il y a deux semaines, l’adorable Amandine, Responsable de Presse chez Daphne Dasque (marque de bijoux parisien) m’a contacté pour m’inviter à célébrer cinq ans de la marque ! Je connais déjà la marque un peu alors j’avais hâte d’aller à la soirée et de connaître mieux les collections.

La marque était créée par deux amies d’enfance Daphne Dasque et Mickaëlle Chabat et en 2009 elles ont ouvert la première boutique exclusive dans Le Marais, le quartier le plus chic de Paris. Puis, plus tôt cette année, elles ont lancé un stand chez Kiliwatch, magasin pionner des vêtements vintages et neufs, et c’était là-bas que j’ai découvert les designs de Daphne.

Daphne Dasque crée des bijoux rocks et unisexes en utilisant une mélange des symboles mystiques et urbaines tels que des plumes, des serpents et des oiseaux. Chaque pièce est façonnée à la main usant des matériaux d’argent, l’argent oxydé et plaqué or et les résultats sont magnifiques. A travers ses collections, qui inclus des bijoux inspirés par des peuples amérindiens et des voyages en paysages magiques, vous pouvez trouver votre propre style en mixant des pièces différentes, comme ces colliers beaux et simples avec des bagues.

Ce style de bijou est fait pour moi, j’adore qu’il est délicat mais dur, perfection. J’aime bien aussi que Daphne mêle des métaux fins avec du cuir contrastant pour des bracelets. De plus, je suis obsédé par des plumes alors naturellement la collection Spirit Lake est mon favori et j’en désire ardemment un collier plaqué or.

J’ai eu la chance de recevoir ce bracelet en argent classique comme cadeau – parfait pour commencer ma collection personnelle de Daphne Dasque ! Alors, si vous êtes jamais à Paris, je vous conseille d’aller à la boutique de Daphne Dasque – vous ne seriez pas déçu !

Pink Coat

Vintage pink coat (similar here) / Vintage Levi jeans / Topshop faux fur scarf (old – similar here) / Adidas Stan Smith trainers
Location: Tempelhof Park, Berlin

As soon as I saw this gorgeous pink coat in my shop, I knew it had to be mine. I absolutely love the colour and the oversized shape. It was my coat of choice to my recent weekend break to Berlin, where I thought an abandoned wartime airport-cum-youth hangout was the perfect place to take some blog photos. I mean just look how amazing this park is! It felt so liberating to prance around on an old runway, knowing that decades ago huge aeroplanes would have been landing right where I was standing!

Casual Weekend

Grandma knitted jumper / Topshop jeans / ASOS leather jacket (old – similar here) / Vintage shawl / Stan Smith Adidas trainers / Pebbles & Chance ring
Location: Saint-Germain-en-Laye

I don’t know about you but for me this weekend was all about jeans, jumpers and being super comfy. I have been meaning to show off this beautiful jumper ever since I started this little blog and finally here it is, shot in all its glory in the cute Parisian suburb of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. This jumper, made of gorgeous denim wool, is very special to me, not just because my Grandma knitted it for me, but because she actually started it when I was 8 years old and only got round to finish it for Christmas 2012! It makes you realise how quickly time flies and that it important to keep on top of projects. I have had a bit of a writer’s block recently, which is why it has been a bit quiet here but I’ve got lots of posts planned!
This outfit also features my two favourite purchases from my recent trip to Berlin (post to follow). Let’s take a moment to admire my amazing vintage shawl/scarf that I bought in Humana second hand store in Berlin for just 6€. It keeps me so warm and I just love the tassels! I am also so pleased with my circle ring purchase from a stall at Mauerpark flea market. I have been looking to extend my ring collection and Pebbles & Chance had a great selection – check them out!
Stay happy and keep motivated guys 🙂

Winter in a slip dress

Vintage slip dress / Vintage turtleneck top (similar here) / Calzedonia long socks / Doc Martens shoes
Location: Tiergarten Park, Berlin
At the weekend Lewis and I had a little trip to Berlin to see one of our favourite bands play, The Gaslight Anthem, and to do some exploring. It turned out that our Airbnb apartment came with two bikes, which was an amazing way of seeing the city and as I loved my cute baby blue one I thought I would feature it in some blog photos!
Slip dresses were my go-to piece this summer but I cannot bear to part with this one over winter so here is my way of styling them throughout colder months. Turtleneck jumpers are a wardrobe must-have this season, they are so versatile! I love the 90s look of layering mine under a slip dress for a bit of extra warmth. Then I just added some knee length socks and voilà! So remember, a slip dress is for life, not just for summer 😉

Lace Flares

Vintage lace flares / eBay top / Doc Martens shoes / Ray Bans sunglasses / Mac So Chaud lipstick
Location: Port de Tolbiac
As soon as I saw these black lace flares, it was love. They have such a flattering shape with a tight high waist and the flare starting right at the top of the legs. Such a unique yet bang on trend piece, which is always exactly what I want.
I discovered this shoot location when Lewis and I walked the length of the Seine within Paris last Saturday. Crazy I know. This was where we started our 9 mile walk across the city and I just loved the industrial yet calm feel. It was deserted except for a young guy in a smart get-up featuring braces and a peak cap practising scales on the saxophone, adorable.
