After weeks of terrible weather and rain, summer seems to be back in Paris!
The weather forecasts for the weekend look perfect and with Bagatelle re-opening after summer break and a great open air party tomorrow evening by the Eifel tower, things are indeed brightening up.
Enjoy the weekend and this little, oh-so romantic video by Zoe Cassavetas, featuring Louis Vuitton Spring10 pieces. Instant summer mood guaranteed! xx
Hermès is currently trying hard to update its classic, verrry traditional image by infusing it with ‘Cool Girl Style’. Grandma’s silk carrés put together with an eclectic mix of highstreet and vintage? That basically screams for a stylistic clash pushing its interpereteurs, a gang of real CITY girls from NY, Paris, London & Tokyo in this case, to the limits of their mix & match skills. However, the result – presented on an online platform which can be accessed through the Hermès homepage – is fantastic. Easy, fun and authentic. You can basically breath the “summer in the city” flair. And even the iconic scarfs blend in naturally – like true vintage finds. Trust the girls;-)!
Last week I modeled for a little project of my friend Luisa, who is studying at ESMOD in Paris.
She created the cutest outfit ever, with a perfectly fitting tweed blazer, cropped pants and a little oh-so Parisian hat. Louisa drew her inspirations from men’s wear pieces, in particular the style of our all time favourite beau Chuck Bass.
Attention to all you fashionable ladies in Paris!! Derek Blasberg will be signing his book “Classy – exceptional advice or the extremely modern lady” tomorrow between 6 and 7 pm at Colette.
Of course, Colette has developed some fun stuff to celebrate the occasion:
Wohooo!!! I just found out that my dearest Coupine will stay in Paris and decided this was totally post-worthy! I guess it’s really important to find a place in the world where you just “fit in”. Not only style-wise or socially. But above all it is about finding a place that inspires you and that can give you energy. And the opportunities to get closer to your dreams;-). I feel like Paris can be all that for Nati. Soo happy!
I had already told you about my hat obsession earlier…and indeed I have been buying and wearing lots of hats lately…can’t do in Paris without one!! I have been meaning to post this “hat outfit” for really long:
This is one of my favourite hats. Technically, its not even mine, but I “stole” it from my friend Isa. It’s Vintage and we bought it together chez Episode on Rue Tiquetonne.
Rest of the outfit: Zara shorts and blazer, Isabel Marant plaid tunic, Zadig&Voltaire scarf, Chloe Elsie bag.
So don’t get me wrong here! By no means I want to promote smoking on this blog, I’m actually a total anti-smoker and never even tried it…But still, since I’m living in Paris, I cannot deny it anymore: all the cool people do it…and come on, it looks damn sexy, non?!!
I especially love this short movie of one of my all time favourite bloggers Gala:
Gala from Saga Sigurdardottir on Vimeo.
Pics by Garance Dore, the Sartorialist and via Knightcat.
J’ adore the very particular, slightly spooky mood of this short movie with Lindsay Wixson and Mariacarla Boscono shot in 34, Avenue Foch, the location of MiuMiu’s last fashionshow here in Paris.
Sorry for the recent lack of posts, I’m gonna be back with more very soon!

Usually, I’m more the “pink kind of girl“…but lately I realized that I might be even more drawn to red…its all in the details:
Red Timex watch, bought at chez Maman in Paris (coolest watch shop ever!!!)…
… O.P.I. big apple red (I’m wearing it non-stop)…
Marc Jacobs lipstick pen, my most stylish school accessory (seriously, I get lots of compliments about it, it even grasps the attention of the teachers…haha)
…and finally my beloved Prego bikerboots with the red zipper at the back…
Red is my new pink ;-) !!
After visiting home for a few days, I am finally back to my beloved city!!
So, I just had to share with you this incredibly cute ad about going to Paris. It was first shown during this year’s superbowl and I have to say that Google did a great job in creating such a simple ad with such a strong message.
Yesterday, we finally went to les Plastiscines concert and it was FUN!!
After the show we had the chance to meet the girls and they are trop cool and really sweet. Plus, they have a great style!
Note to myself: I NEED NEED NEED a hat similar to the one of Louise on the picture above. All the cool kids in Paris wear one (but more about this later)!
I’m off to Germany for a few days, already miss Paris!

Last week the first retrospective ever on the whole work of YSL opened in Paris. The exhibit is presented by the Pierre Berge – Yves Saint Laurent Foundation and le Petit Palais in Paris. It comprises over 300 creations and is a true hommage to the master of fashion. A MUST SEE for all fashionistas!
So, if you come to Paris before the end of August make sure you don’t miss it! As for me, its already on my agenda for next week!
Have a great weekend everyone,
love from Paris, Nati
Apart from stalking fashion people at the Dior show, I also had lots of fun fooling around in sunny Jardin des Tuileries. This was mostly due to the totaly lovely baloon dog, which the Grazia team distributed in front of the show…
…yeah, I know doggy dog is just too cute…
…then, I also met the fabulous Andy from one of my favourite blogs, Stylescrapbook. You should check it out!
…and I came across Emmanuel, a cute Parisian with a very impressive knowledge on everything fashion…
This was really a perfect day inside my fashionbubble ;)!!
Ohh, and on a side note, after a way too long winter break, gossip girl will be back as of tomorrow with an exciting new episode!! Can’t wait for it!

After meeting Garance last season in Paris, I saw her again yesterday in front of the Dior show. And this time I did not hesitate to ask my all time favourite blogger for a picture..
As always she was incredibly sweet and stylish with her cropped coat and her Chloe lace-up booties – no wonder the Facehunter wanted to take a pic of her..
So I followed Garance a bit, while she was searching a new motive…
…which she found with the incredibly gorgeous Miroslava Duma in a total Chloe look…
…so I tried myself with the same motiv..
Hmm, guess whose picture is gonna be better…;)?!
All the fashionable Paris crowd gathered yesterday in front of Colette, to snap one of the highly coveted, strawberry-print YSL bags plus manifesto. It was a real fight and they were out in no time…
Among all the fashionistas lining up on Rue St. Honore, these two young ladies were definitely the coolest:
These two mini-fashionistas were totally into fashion brands and had already gotten the YSL manifesto last season (!)…too cute. So I could not resist taking a pic with them.
After the stressful hunt, I just had to take my bag out for a little walk in the sunny Tuileries garden…
