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 lovelybaloon 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…
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…
In a bit, I’m gonna start my hunt for the YSL Manifesto here in Paris (its the perfect sunny weather for it!!). I’m gonna strategically position myself at the distribution location near Colette, to do lots of stylish people watching! So stay tuned!
After missing out on the Phoenix concert already, which is completely sold out in Paris, I was lucky enough to get some tickets for Les Plastiscines! Still have to figure out who is gonna be my plus 1, but I am totally excited to go see them! They will be playing on March 16th in la Maroquinerie.
Now I just need to get my hands on one of their “Bitch in disguise”tees!
This year, I had the most perfect V-daywith the girlsin Paris!
We checked out all the right places for the occasion (definitely worth a visit when in Paris!):
It all started with dinner Saturday evening at this trendy Italian place in le Marais: Cafe Baci. Sunday morning we then had the most girly champagne brunch at les Philosophes. They really have the best breakfast, celebrity spotting included! We rounded it all up with a little stroll through le Marais, where we came across this lovely Valentine’s pop-up store, which distributed Kusmi Sweet Love tea for free!
The last days of sales in Paris have arrived and usually around this time, there is nothing good left anymore…so I was totally excited when I came across this amazing the Kooples necklace yesterday for 50% off. I have been searching all winter for this kind of necklace…it’s the perfect piece to spice up a basic jeans/tee combi and adds the right amount of rock’n'roll to each look.
Well, I have to admit that apart from checking out their sales, I had a look at the new spring pieces. The collection is gonna be super hot, but more on this later. In the mean time, I suggest you check out the Kooples site, they have a really good music player, to which I have been rockin all moring.
First of all, I owe you a huge apology for my way too long blogging absence..it feels like forever and I missed you guys!! But now I’m finally in Paris, settled a bit and I’m back for good! So stay tuned for lots of exciting Paris stories!
Bisous Nati
P.S: above I’m on the farmer’s market on Place Monge wearing my oh-so Parisian Sonia Rykiel hat.
Dear readers, NO…we haven’t forgotten you…it’s just that we are both at very exciting places right now and we have been super busy the last couple of weeks! But it’s our BIG new year’s resolution to blog more in the coming year!!!
So NYE has finally arrived! The time of the year to put on your sparkly frocks, get the Champagne out and have a blast! We wish you all a fabulous party tonight. If you wanna have a nice overview of this year’s highlights, have a look here. Many thanks to Miss at la Playa for this great summary!
Bisous
Les Coupines
The picture above is from the editorial Noctambule, Vogue Paris 2007
La Coupine 1 is finally back in town and we spent some quality girls time today: a little shopping, strolling through the streets and good coffee of course. Perfect saturday!
Wearing my “souvenirs” from Paris: studded gloves and a double-breasted wool-blazer. BTW this chocolate-colored vespa from the 50’s belongs to an antique store in that street. It’s great!
Close-up of the gloves. They are definitely the coolest accessory I own! Found at Le Bon Marché on the ground floor.
The rest of this outfit is rather basic. I am saving the dressing-up for tonight;-). It’s Halloween (as one can easily tell by the two giant pumpkins in the background)! Have a great night out everyone!
Garance Doré is one of our all timefavourite bloggers! She has an incredible talent to take pictures of girls, which underline their inner beauty. And Garance has a great sense of humour. We LOVE her stories about her newest style addictions, little fashion emergencies and all the other girl talk. So it has become one of our favourite daily routines, to check her blog in the morning! Garance has been doing some great work and has been rewarded for that: recently, she launched a limited collection of T-shirts with the GAP (which sadly sold out immediately) and is now working very closely with French Vogue (could there be a better match?) to do some behind the scenes coverage.
Taking our high appreciation for Garance’s work, you can certainly imagine that we had the most surreal moment ever, when we met herand the Sartorialist in the Metro on the way to the Chloe Show, during Fashion Week. Garance was stunning in person! So natural, and sweet and very chic wearing her short- sleeved Max Mara coat. So we talked to her – actually Garance did most of the talking, we were so taken by her charisma that we could merely sit there and listen. We were even too excited to ask for a picture (sooo stupid of us!!).
Well, I promise I stop obsessing now…but let me still show you some of my very favourite pictures by Garance…
I just love this picture of super hotEntourage star Adrian Grenier (you might also know him as the cute boyfriend in the Devil Wears Prada) riding a bike in Paris. When we were in Paris last week, we noticed bikes ALL over the place, they really seem to be the new ‘It’ accessory.
Note to myself: when I’m moving to Paris in January, I gotta get myself a bike asap, plus a cute guy to ride it with ;-)
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.
After a long long day of FACEHUNTING in front of the shows, endless walking, extreme shopping and few coffee breaks we somehow managed to go out for dinner and drinks in St. Germain. Here’s what we wore for a night out in PARIS:
We are off to PARIS for the next couple of days and so excited about Fashion Week! Voila, a small selection of the things we will be doing (sorted by probability of occurence!!)
