On saturday we took our son to the Park and he had the biggest temper tantrum I’ve ever seen. He didn’t want to walk, but he didn’t want to go in his stroller either. I wanted to be like Tamar Braxton* and send him to time-the-heck-out.com

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.

Madame Statue of Liberty.

We went to the Library this morning in the 3rd Arronsidsmet and on our way we spotted The Statue of Liberty!

I’m back home, to our apartment in Paris, and I can’t tell you guys how happy I feel to be back in my love shack, and to see my shoes!

We had a good time at the in-laws but I was starting to feel a bit paranoid, like Debra in Everybody Loves Raymond, if you know what I mean.

Another good news, is that I’ve made it through my 30 day shopping challenge!

So I took the opportunity to escape from my hubby and kid to hop on over to H&M Les Halles, and I forgot that the Conscious Collection was in store.

But its was a pleasant surprise, because I ended up walking away with this LWD, little white dress, for 19 euros!

I mean I was looking around like a bandit – thinking ” Did they make a pricing error?”…

Anyways, the collection is perfect for summer, lots of white, recyclable and organic fabrics and reasonable prices ( after all it is H&M we’re talking about here).

I also bought these cute colorful mix of neon yellow, pink and black socks. Thank God socks and sandals are trendy right now, because let me tell you all a little secret; I hate my toes! Yes, I said it. So I’ll be mixing these up this summer a bit.

And this little make-up pouch was too cute not to get- I can never have enough.

When I got back from shopping, I found out there’s a party tonight downstairs in my building for a L’Ecole de Re-Looking ( Make-Over / Styling School) that just opened on the 1st floor. The woman who invited me was like ” We’re having a party, we’ll be making some noise, but feel free to stop by!”  In my head I was thinking “OMG I hope they don’t get a live band”.

Anyways, out of boredom and shear curiosity ( and partially I was feeling in the mood to dress up) I forced my son into being my chaperon and we took an elevator ride downstairs.

So I was reading K is for Kinky yesterday, and I was totally feeling her post about how she dresses “around” her hair, basically its the pivotal point in her entire “look”. I feel the same way because I have locks and my hair is a bit “untamed” which I love, so to neaten my look, I’m always ( well most times) impeccably dressed in some killer heels. They lift your ass, force you to stand straight and also makes people look “up to you”! haha

I think it was Coco Chanel who said  ”A woman with good shoes is never ugly. They are the last touch of elegance”

I can’t agree more!

My entire hallway is dedicated to two bookshelf worth of shoes ( thnx to IKEA) – most of them are not designer shoes, just stuff I’ve found along the way in honing my own personal style. Many are from discount retailers like Marshalls, Daffys, H&M and Neimans Rack.  Very few are Lanvin, YSL and Pierre Hardy.

I am my shoes and my shoes are me. I love to mix high end with vintage, trends with classics and designer with retail brands.

I simply could no live like my husband does with less than 10 pairs of shoes!

I would die!

Yes that might sound superficial, but I don’t care. I’m careful with my money, I take care of my financial responsibilities, I work hard and I do not live above my means.

I’m a reasonable shoe addict, and every woman deserves a guilty pleasure.

HERE ARE a few OF MY FAVE WOMEN WITH A SICK SHOE GAME:

Actually, I think a big part of my love for shoes came from my mother who loves fashion and is still one of the best dressed women I know.

Another part of my shoe love psychoanalysis goes back to my childhood when I would wear my sister’s shoes, because I would always destroy mines so quickly, and my parents budget couldn’t keep up with my speed of destruction.

WHO ARE YOUR SHOE ICONS?
