Marielle, quaintrelle

Marielle - (n.) of French origin, a diminutive of Mary; a version of my name

Quaintrelle - (n.) a woman who emphasizes a life of passion, expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life’s pleasures.

 

As I was making plans on starting my new blog, what I would be writing about, how the layout would be and so on and so forth, I stumbled across this intriguing word on OtherWordly and that was it.  The lightbulb moment. The coup de coeur. The title for my blog.

​

As for the Marielle? Well, those who know me know I'm not usually fond of this iteration of my name - or any other for that matter. But I guess a blog is no better place for poetic licence. 

 

So this is me – Mariel – a quaintrelle – a 30-something who loves getting lost in European cities, spending time with the Old Masters and contemporary rebel rousers of the Art world, while seeking to find a balance between her vegetarian diet and macaron-loving sweet tooth and in the meantime curating a chic, timeless but recognisable personal style.

 

Marielle, quaintrelle - lifestyle blogger, fashion blogger, styler blogger and travel blogger all at once!

​

Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy my company.
