Je t'aime Paris (not the skanky one, the city)
July 16th 2008 11:09
Well, its been a while since I last had a rant, but today will just be a gush I'm afraid - about Paris.
Paris, the city not that skanky trashy beeeatch, oops I digress...
Oh magical city of the Eiffel Tower, L'arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, Rodin, Musee d'Orsay..I could bang on forever but I won't.
I will, however have a bit of a blab about how fabulous the clothes and style of Parisians are.
I recently spent many a happy afternoon sipping a cafe au lait (albeit completely arsey coffee - the French may have baguettes, desserts and clothes down, but I am sorry, their coffee is piew!) watching the fashion parade of sophisticated, elegant, uncomplicated and beautifully dressed Parisians walking past. The most common look was a great pair of skinny jeans with ballet flats and a swanky scarf - and it looked lovely. I want!
So I have set my mind to gathering a wardrobe of classic, timeless pieces - and thanks to Christine in Flinders Lane, Melbourne, I am well on my way.
She is a legend in Melbourne for stocking all types brands from Lanvin, Vivienne Westwood, Longchamps and Sonia Rykiel to other lesser known but high quality brands - and she is having a sale right now. I bought some fabulous patent and satin black Lanvin ballet flats at under half price, and a few other beautiful pieces - an Anya Hindmarch brown suede clutch to name one of my treasures. The range of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories is amazing and addictive to look at. My advice? Get in quick because the sale ends on Saturday.
My next quest is a tuxedo style jacket and a smart blazer - for both work and play..ooh la la!
