I was like ” Listen,child, you are heavy, and mama has heels on!”…lol  He wasn’t amused, so we ended up spending an additional 30 minutes in the park waiting on him to calm the you know what down.

How are you all doing today? The sun is out here in Paris and so are the masses. I’m so thankful not to be freezing my tush off anymore!

At first I didint want to post these photos because I’m not very happy with them, as there wasnt enough lighting.We took them as a quick shot after I dropped Pierre off at school. This is a part of his courtyard.

But I hope they can still be a bit inspirational of how all you need is a pair of nice jeans, some sexy shoes and some killer accessories like my Marni-esque clutch and my oversized mens watch.

I’ve been getting more and more requests for outfit posts. And I’ve been meaning to, its just that I don’t feel I look “good” all the time to post all the time like some other bloggers do. I will wake up, put on some jeans and a t-shirt to drop my son off at school and go get coffee and spend the rest of the day just working, like that in some boring jeans and a tee.

Now, when I have on something else that’s a whole different story; I have to disrupt the hubby from his work schedule.  My methods of persuation gets tested each time. And it goes a bit like this

ME: ” sweety, can you take a pic of me please”

HUBBY – “well ( pause) je suis en plein travail la, je ne peut pas arrêter juste pour prendre ton photo”

ME:  ”pretty, please”

HUBBY: ” ok, but not with your shitty camera,bring mine” …

ME: “oh thanks sweety!”. *sigh. then *smile.

For the record, my camera happens to be a really good Nikon D3000 but he’s a pro and it just doesn’t match up to his Nikon D3S with a super huge (and expensive) lens. He’s so french!

Hey! Can you tell that I cut the waist off the pants – I kinda love that the rough edges were showing. I bought these maybe 2 years ago in the mens dept. at H&M.

I’m having so much fun with my 30 day clothing cleanse I twitted about here – I haven’t bought anything in 10 days! It’s forcing me to recycle my clothes more. It’s like the 80/20 rule (Pareto principle) but with your closet.  You guys should try it!

1. Full Figure or Hourglass

Dark color pallets minimize, but there are many other options a part from black, such as this little Navy one shoulder dress.  It’s flowy and hence more forgiving on our angles, like this HALSTON HERITAGE ONE-SHOULDER TRAPEZE DRESS at Neiman Marcus

2. Boy Shape

Try adding some flair to a Boy shape by choosing a dress that’s not fitted and adds volumes to your hips and top, like this violet dress from Rare One Shoulder Chiffon Ruffle Dress.

Style Tip – You can cinch your waist to create an hourglass illusion. Opt for a statement belt to this dress, like this double strap leather belt from ASOS

3. Petite Frame

Best to go form fitting and nothing below the knee to shorten your height. Create an illusion of length by opting for a mini, like its dress from Asos

4. Athletic Body

Try adding some femininity with a soft color palate and adding some curves with a ruched dress like this one Taupe dress from evening dress from ASOS.

All dresses except #2, available on ASOS.com

Chunky oversized cardigan coat + silk colorful dress + fur lined boots = sexy winter layering solution.

Many of us will know that even though this was a design that Azzedine Alaia mastered over 2 decades ago, the Max Azria line know’s a thing or two about doing a fabulous upgrade.

We’ve seen their skirts on dresses on everyone from Rihanna, Kim Kashardian to Kristin Bell.

Tips for wearing a bandage skirt:

1. keep everything else clean and tight to the body

2. dont be afraid to try bright colors – like the neon pink on, but keep the other peices either neutral or black.

3. they can go with any heels – booties,peet toes or sling backs. be prepared to show some leg.

4. a small clutch works better than a hobo or oversized bag.

5. you dont need to spend a lot of money to get the look – many stores like Forever21 and H&M offer well made versions.
