I’m into loose coats that are light enough for spring and summer winds. Nothing too fancy, to take away from the outfit itself, just a little cover up that I can tuck over my handbag handles if it gets too warms and something I can easily throw on when it gets too cold. And I think I’ve found it, at Zara!
139 Euros online.
Very Simple, clean cut minimalism.
And it has pockets!
What I wore today.
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!

I’ve been meaning to post this outfit for the last 5 days now! But I’ve been so busy freelancing. So please bear with me, pretty please.
Last week was still cold and a bit wet here in Paris, but I’m starting to feel the sunshine ( even if it was for only 1 hour today 
) I know, I’m the eternal optimist, I can’t help myself!
We went to see Black Swan and I loved Natalie’s acting – you could tell she must have really immersed herself in the role – so yes, I think she deserve an award, Mila Kunis was great and Vinent Cassel was sexy. But I saw it on an afternoon – when I really wanted to watch something “light” and so I left the theatre feeling like ” that was a bit melodramatic”. Terrible I know! Go see it for yourself and let me know what you think.
Last week started off great with a bit of vintage shopping with friends - I bought this Celine belt and a small Dior purse – in sort of like an 1950 themed warehouse, with antique furniture, vintage jewelry and clothes, musicians and even a proper barber giving men haircut reminiscent of John Travolta in Grease. It was so cool! I’ll be back in March and I’ll share some photos then.
Here ladies and gentlemen is one of my lovely vintage finds: Black and Gold Celine belt ( a la Hermes Collier de Chien, non?)
I usually wear my hair loose and out, but this “chignon” hair bun thing is starting to grow on me.
Do you see what’s below my heels? It says in french, ” Do you want some bread?”

Thats all folks, ’til next time.

Colors were everywhere at the Christian Dior Fashion week show on and off the catwalk, here we have a young lady being interviewed about her outfit. From memory I think she said her Blazer was from Zara and the bag is Balenciaga.
The color mix of such a bright yellow and red could have been an outfit disaster but here she has managed to make it work!
Zara’s parent group Inditex will be taking it’s europen websites
towards new e-commerce levels with the announcement of the launch of a
e-shop for the UK, France, Italy and other european versions.
We’ll have to wait a while for the American site to start selling
clothes.
But judging from the instore collection thats a force to be reckoned
with in term of copying the styles of runway designers like Balmain
and Isabel Marant – at these prices even the frugalist of fashionistas
keep going back for more!
