Vintage Trade Show Paris

The 6th Edition of the Vintage Trade show is under way in The Marais today. I stopped by to snap up some photos but soon found out that cameras where strictly prohibited – but I took some quick shots with my I-phone, you know Super Secret Agent Style.

It’s mostly a display of vintage clothes – I saw some really old Hermes and YSL bags and shoes. Many of the footwear items ( non-brand names ) where ranging from 20 to 90 Euros. I tried on a pair of army/camouflage Christian Louboutins for 600 Euros! But I also saw pair of Loubotins for 120 Euros ( was a size 37 though).

If you’re around or planning on doing something fun and some shopping in Paris this is the place to go.

Not to mention you’ll be in the neighborhood of the Marais, with many Parisian boutiques and hot spots.

A night out with Kristina

Yanique Francis Lalin

I just saw these photos from hanging out with Kristina and the girls at a great Italian Resto (Restaurant Le Coryllis – 85 Rue des Martyrs, 750018) – I was scrolling on her blog and found this shot of me.

I like it. You can tell I’ve been drinking and pigging out – even though I had the vegetable lasagna – this was me winding down.

I forgot to take my camera, but next time I’m taking tons of photos. The food was delicious and I met such nice girls!

Throwback Thursday: Loving You by Minnie Riperton

What a beautiful voice. Minni Riperton performing live – no lip-syncing!  And Baby’s Breath was the Fashion back then, I love how she’s worn it in her hair.

One of my favorite songs from a beautiful woman, Minni died at the age of 31 from Breast Cancer in 1979.  RIP.

Melanie Fiona and Trey Songz- Rocawear ads

Singers Melanie Fiona and Trey Songz shot the Rocawear ads a while back. Here are two of my favorite shots. I love the rich details of the images, the interior deco is sick!
