These photos are from weeks ago (before Paris fashion week) , but I should put it up – will post more looks in the days to come.

Hopefully my outfit can inspire you to rock something that’s just been hanging in your closet.

You want a piece of me? You talkin to me? ( Taxi Driver voice) lol

I’ve had this bag for 3 years, bought it on sale at Bel Air Paris, and it has never failed me yet. You can expand it too and it goes with just about everything – or I make it go with every thing.

Stop playing Mommy, let’s go.

These old Levi’s are so freaking comfortable, they have now taken the spot in my heart ( and closet) usually reserved for my 10 years old Diesels.  These denim Lanvin heels are from back here, but I don’t really wear them at all.

My look  on this day was all about comfort (movie and brunch with son). I usually come off looking like a homeless person if I don’t wear some killer heels with these ripped jeans, you know gotta dress em up a bit.

I’m still on the 30 day shopping cleanse, and I feel like a crack head in rehab, the first couple of days was rough, but now I feel lighter, and yes I still get tempted every time I ride pass a Zara and I itch like a mofo when I ride on Rue St.Honore, but then  I think simplicity is the sweetest form of sophistication sometimes, I don’t need to buy stuff that’s going to be out of trend next season anyways.

Sometimes, believe it or not I get really tired with fashion!  It’s like my man ( I like to think that in another life we were best buds) Yves Saint Laurent said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

Do you guys have a favorite pair of jeans and if so what are they and what do you wear them with?

Wishing you a productive and fulfilled week!

Taking photos of the wonderful “everyday” Parisian women is so much fun and inspiring, take this shot for example.

She was on the Quai de la seine I had just parked my bicycle, and saw her from across the street; running over I said “Hi! You look gorgeous, may I take your photo?” she looked puzzled, then I said “just push the bike back a bit in the sunlight”, she smiled.

et voila

Low Rider Honda Bike (don’t see a lot of these here, mostly Vespas), Leather Leggings, Fur coat and low boots.

I’ve created a blogpost for my photos that I took during Paris Fashion Week, You can see them here. I still need to post all of them!

Not sure If I’ll be taking photos again next year, I will be back to working full time. Even though it was challenging in the cold, it was lots of fun, met really cool and interesting people; good folks well dressed.

Also I’ve started a tumblr for TC Mag, it’s like a place where I put a lot of leftover thoughts, ideas, photos and just about anything that’s too tangential to put on toocutemagazine.com. OH YEA, and it’s kinda funny!

I got Chanel, Keiko’s Chanel.

This woman was in a crowd of fashionable people on the streets of Paris and her Fafi customized Chanel handbag did its duty; it stood out.

I’m still in a mental coma from all the fashion and fabulousness of Paris Fashion Week 2011 / 2012 Collections. I went to many shows and took so many photos its seems almost ridiculous to write a short summary now.

Until I get over being “si fatiguée” I will write a lovely trend round-up (I did for work anyways) and perhaps even create a new site for all the lovely streetstyle photos that just seem to take on a life of their own.

Everyday, I was falling more and more in love with my camera. I’m not a professional photographer, but as a writer I see no harm in multitasking, especially when you get to meet and interview some of the most stylish people in the world!

Until then here are two of my outfits, shot by two very darling photogrpahers Phil Oh from Streetpeeper for Metro paper and Guerre from Swagger360 for Vogue Italia.

This is the outfit that Anna Dello Russo liked. I’m wearing mostly vintage (shades, top & kilt skirt) , and the Zara Coat and Boots I wore here. I had so much this day because I’ve been dying to wear my kilt and this top again. I just love how bright the green is and it has some tiny gold buttons on the details that were so cute.

I was telling Phil that he always shoots me when I’m wearing vintage, and so now everyone will think that’s all I wear!

Here I am wearing my Lanvin red pumps and my Lanvin for H&M red earrings, YSL ring, Mango Clutch, Vintage scarf, African bracelets from NY and H&M Coat.

I have to tell you guys that if you see other photos of me during PFW, I will probably look like I’m wearing a big Indian blanket, because when it gets so cold, I’m less concerned about dressing stylish and more so about having to get emergency treatment from frostbite.

Bare legs and killer heels were the order of the day outside Chloe Fall 2011 – 2012 collection at Espace Ephemere Jardin Tuileries, Paris.

Even though it was zero degrees. Where is the  line between pain, pleasure and fashion?
