Paris in the Fall

Doesn’t wandering the streets of Paris on a beautiful fall day just sound divine? Breakfast and people watching from a favorite cafe, then a day spent roaming the halls of museums, and hunting for treasures at local flea markets and bookstores. How about ending the day with plenty of champagne, cheeses and baguettes? Don’t mind if I do!

This mix of casually chic high and low items are just the right combination to keep you warm, comfy and cozy, while fulfilling all your Parisian dreams. Some of the investment pieces such as a classic Burberry trench coat, an Hermes scarf or a YSL leather purse will become timeless staple pieces in your wardrobe and last you forever if they are properly cared for. Treat yourself to one at a time. Maybe even invest in some vintage ones if you happen to find them, (always incorporate some more vintage pieces in there somewhere if possible, with some jewelry or accessories?).

Oh. And as always don’t forget the red lipstick, or an umbrella just in case it rains!

Summer in Paris

While seriously itching for spring and sundresses to arrive, I can’t help but daydream of spending a summer in Paris. 

Aren’t these Charlotte Olympia sandals just yummy? Where do you have plans to travel to this summer?

cozy days in paris….

Lately, I have been feeling fond of bundling up in a cozy sweater and flats and walking the streets in search of inspiration. Maybe to a bookstore, flea market or just planning my days and people watching from a cozy coffee shop. Ultimately, I am wishing I was doing all of the above mentioned in actual Paris. In light of my day dreaming, I found a few things that might help make me feel chic and close enough to Paris, to pretend I was. I often dream of the day I can go to that happy place and watch through the windows of a Paris cafe. Soon, very soon!

go for the gold

Well.... it's just a perfect coincidence that while I was busy finding pretty gold things to compile for this post, the olympics just happened to end..... hence the title go for the gold!
