CUTE FIND: THE OVERCOAT

I’m into loose coats that are light enough for spring and summer winds. Nothing too fancy, to take away from the outfit itself, just a little cover up that I can tuck over my handbag handles if it gets too warms and something I can easily throw on when it gets too cold. And I think I’ve found it, at Zara!

The STUDIO OVERCOAT

139 Euros online.

KOOPLES PARIS

The view from the window of The Kooples Paris in the Marais

I’m in a Smokie Robinson kinda mood lately. These photos were taken last Friday while Cruising around the Marais. Truth be told I went to grab a falafel and L’as Du Falafel was closed, so I just made use of my time while there and went to snapping with Cleo, my camera.
