Currently craving… A LOT. Well, cry me a river, credit card! It’s summer and the girl needs clothes!

So here we go:

1. IRO sequins shorts (spotted in recent VOGUE Spain issue and now I’m under the spell!) via freepeople.com

2. TOPSHOP airy knit jumper

3. Black ALEXANDER WANG Noemi booties (still haven’t decided if i like the black or the cream ones better) via shopbop.com

4. DIOR Aloha nailpolish (a definite summer essential. Will give OPI’s Big Apple a summer break now)

5. BALENCIAGA belt via yoox.com

6. PROENZA SCHOULER tye-die longsleeve (can’t live without – it’s totally my thing!)

7. BIMBA Y LOLA flamingo cuff (BFF says it’s not so pretty in reality – will check it out when in Paris)

8. PRADA sequins clutch (it’s new in and a KILLER!)

9. RAG & BONE bright blue shorts

Shorts and little jumpers is pretty much all I’m wearing in summer. Great combo as I can dress it up or down! What will you be wearing;-)?

We spent our last day in PARIS in the city’s most charming and trendy district: LE MARAIS. On a Thursday afternoon it has quite a peaceful “small-village”-atmosphere and invites you to stroll around, take a look at the small boutiques and galeries, sit down outside the boho-cafè “La Perle“, watch stylish people pass by and just be INSPIRED…

Here’s where u really HAVE to go when u are in Paris.

1. The Kooples

The Kooples is my personal favorite of all hot French brands right now. Their current collection has everything u need for a stylish winter: just the right dose of glam-rock, versatile pieces, a style-mix of Paris and London and the coolest basics. I WANT EVERYTHING!

Like the Burberrys. Just cooler.

The concept behind The Kooples? Cool stuff for cool couples that they can EXCHANGE…(not sure I would want my boyfriend to raid my closet though!)

Nati tried this zipper-skirt. I loved it on her!

2. Shine

Shine is probably the best multibrand-store I’ve been to in a long time! It’s located in a small side-street of Rue vieille du temple and they have only the best stuff: Margiela, Acne, See by Chloé, Markus Lupfer, Stella McCartney, Repetto…doesn’t that sound like your fantasy high-street;-)? Plus the staff is super friendly (considering they are Parisienne…haha!).

It’s all there!

I fell in love with this Helmut Lang dress. One of the best brands in my mind…It’s just so hard to find (and yeah: expensive too!).

Nati’s favorite: The Repetto Garbo booties in a grey patent leather. Was sold out in her size unfortunately but we’ll keep on hunting.

3. Yukiko – vintage Chanel

Yukiko has the finest selection of vintage Chanel EVER. If you want to invest into a very special vintage piece come here! The boutique is on rue de vieille temple too.

Love is all you need. But a Chanel bag is a glorious substitute…;-)

Treasures! I’m telling ya….

Other great stores in Marais:

• Sandro
• IRO
• Bazar (French Connection, Paul & Joe Sister, cute ballerinas…)
• Galeries Simone (crazy mix of vintage, self-designed pieces and punk labels like Vivienne Westwood)
• Anna Rivka (fine jewelry)
• Vanessa Bruno
• A.P.C.
• Manoush

We’ll be back soon! With lots of cash…ha ha!
