FASHION FORECAST: Preview H&M Fall 2011

Sneak Peek of the H&M Fall 2011 to hit stores.

Tartans, florals, leather, biker, clean cut , minimalist, with a 60s vibe.

I just got this in an email today from the Paris press team, but I had to share right away. Je suis completement accro a H&M.

Stay tuned for my more in-depth review to come this week. I’m already dying for the off white women’s coat, the brown biker jacket and a few items like sneakers and accessories from the men’s department too!

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!

And don’t forget to follow us on FACEBOOK and TWITTER.

Patrizia Pepe Platform Wedge on sale on ASOS.com



I’m loving the sale going on over at ASOS.com, they have Patrizia Pepe shoes on sale and my poor heart be still!

The semi-annual Paris sale ends two days from now and I was kinda getting depressed that I didn’t see anything in my size that I liked on sale – but oh thank goodness for internet shopping and ASOS.
Oh and did I mention that they are leather (except for the second to last gladiator sandals, but who cares?)
Patrizia Pepe Platform Wedge 158 Eu ( but so worth it – don’t you think)
Jessica Simpson Blue Wedge 33Eu ( which also comes in black)
ASOS Lether Brogue Flat Laced shoes 29Eu
On the ASOS site you can convert the money into your respective currency, and I think they still ship to just about anywhere.
So what are you waiting for? Get your smart asses over there and rack in on this budget shopping, I can promise you with people like me stocking my shopping basket it won’t last :)

Just (hand)bag it!

It seems everywhere I turn more and more of my female companions are wearing smaller long strapped bags. Not that they have ditched their large designer totes and duffel, no these are just a compliment to the nouveau feminine wardrobe. they are versatile and practical. sometimes all we really need is something that carries a little, instead of a carryall. Take a look at what I*ve been stumbling upon:
