So as promised to all my Tweeties (http://twitter.com/toocutemag) on Monday, here is the photo that was taken on me for Public Magazine.
I was walking home from work on Rue Montorgueil – one good thing about my job is that I get to dress up or down as much I like.
I had a pretty rough day at work so I was listening to some relaxing music, when out of nowhere jumped the photographer asking for my photo. That made my day 
This cotton dress I found at FreepStar (My favorite vintage store in Le Marais) in mint condition, wish I had shown the amazing details on the shoulders but I was freezing!
and the belt is also vintage from Episode (Rue Tiquetonne). Boots Jonak, Coat Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair
And there was the lovely Andrea too from Paris Most Wanted. Be sure to check out their blog!
Off I go to bake my hubby a Banana Chocolate cake for his birthday…yummy!

Yes We Cancan…
Spent the afternoon yesterday with the wonderful Kristina at Cancan in the Pigalle area of Paris- I’m still processing the images from my little dress-up session / visit to the store.
They have the most amazingly selected hotness in all of Paris! Brands and designers that are sought after by the discerning shopper who cares about quality and personal style.
I’ll be posting more photos of the boutique and the clothes, shoes, jewelry and such that can be found in this treasure box of style…please come back later for more photos of the story.
Sitting by the entrance of the store. I love this gold headband it’s so Woodstock!
Kristina is making me crack up as I say “Not too close, I have no makeup on, and my camera is crap”…lol
Visit Kristina’s site here.
Hope you all have a great week!
xoxo

Who says you can’t be in two places at once?
I’m doing a writing collaboration with the new fashion and style website AnywearGirl as their Paris Style Contributor.
Like Rihanna says “Life’s a game but it’s not fair. I break the rules so I don’t care”
So you can check me out here on Toocute!Magazine and over there too!
I’ll still be dishing on the latest fashion, style, shopping, trends on the Parisian scene.
My last post was on the Parisian fashion brand Zadig and Voltaire

I went to Colette on my lunch break Friday, because I heard they were going to have a photo exhibition up about crowds / people from concerts – anyways the setting up and installation wasn’t finished so I was moesy-ing around trying to find a book or a magazine when I finally had the chance to flip through the new The Selby in your Place by Todd Selby.
There it was in between “Booze, BBQ & Blues” and some forgettable pop sketch book on everyday buys ( this last one really had me thinking maybe I too can make money writing about interesting but forgettable stuff? You know like “Life in Paris- Frustrations of a Foreigner” it’ll be about daily observations and funny frustrations.What do you think?
Anyways back to The Selby. Gawd! that book made me really interested about the way that real creative interesting type people live and made me feel great about my decorating abilities , which by the way is just about zero. Even though i drool at deco blogs and miss my monthly Domino Mag, let’s just say which all my efforts, at best I keep a clean apartment and not trying to trip over my kids toys and my husband’s camera equipment!

Where the heck do these people get they’re obsessive collections from?
Seriously I’m now going to become a hermit and start collecting things ( other than shoes which doesn’t really count because everybody’s got those!).
I think I’m now addicted to stuff like The Selby, because it just makes me feel good that even though I’ll probably never make it in AD nor Elle Decor there’s always hope for me in The Selby!
Coincidentally, I just found out my fave NYC blog Refinery29 did an amazing funny post on getting shot by The Selby.
Despite how cold its been here in Paris, the Fashionistas were out and about with Fierceness all over the place in this seasons trends: ripped jeans, peep toe booties, jeans jackets,khaki cropped pants and it bags.
