They aren’t Miu Miu…

Posted on April 16th, 2010 in Fashion

but these are my new Repettos! The only platforms I had been coveting the last couple months are the Miu Miu satin platforms in the beautiful rainbow of colors for the Spring Summer 2010 collection. Sadly for me though, I am no celebrity blogger like Sea of Shoes or The Cherry Blossom girl so I can’t score that lute for free, or well even at all for that matter as the ones I want are sold out everywhere! So in desperate need of some practical and pretty platforms I got these Repettos. At first I wasn’t too excited but when I put them on and walked around I was downright amazed, they are the most comfortable heels ever! They we’re definitely made for walking so I am sure I will get lots of mileage out of these classics. Every Parisian girl needs a pair of Repettos! Enjoy my little video of my shoes coming to life.

Playing at Palais Royal

Posted on April 7th, 2010 in Fashion, Paris

After seven days of rain on Monday the sun finally came out in Paris! Even though I still had homework to finish, Samantha and I decided it was just too pretty to keep ourselves cooped up inside. We thought it would be fun to take some pics for the blog at the Palais Royal and Sam impressed with me her photography skills. She took to my SLR like a natural and is now considering purchasing the same one. Don’t forget to press play…

Here is my BEAUTIFUL photographer! We actually went to the Palais Royal to take pictures of her for my upcoming Bardot Boutique as she is my official model. You can see why! No photoshopping required! I can’t wait to share all the adorable pictures I took of her for the launch of the online shop soon!

It was one of the first warmer days but Parisians haven’t realized yet so we were one of the two only people wearing spring time attire! I find many Parisians don’t remove their black wool coats until June 1st despite the temperature.

Sitting was the easy part…

Standing up on the pillars in these shoes without falling was a bit more difficult. I also debuted some new Tabio tights I have been saving for spring. They have little blue and coral polka dots.

This is another wardrobe item that stays inside all winter as the light color doesn’t work well with winter soot and moisture. I saved up and took the plunge last year and bought this bag. It is the most expensive thing I have ever bought yet completely free of buyers remorse as I know it is a classic I will care for so I can wear it for years. I knew that the usual black Chanel bag was just not for me, nor some fun but hard to wear color, so the season they released this beautiful pinky nude I knew my time had come.

I matched my platforms to my purse.

These are made by Cosmo, one of my favorite shoe brands and sections in Printemps shoes as I know I can always find something trendy but affordable and good quality from them.

I bought this little one-sie last year in the West Village of New York with my sister. The label is Fremont. I almost walked away and didn’t get it but I am so glad I did!

These Max Mara over the knee socks kept my legs warm all winter but now they get a bit more fashion forward look for spring.

Some people were staring at us the whole time wondering what we were doing…clearly they don’t understand blogging.

I always want to share more outfit posts with my readers but being such a busy girl it’s hard to find the time to pin down someone to take some pictures for me! Sam is so nice though and has offered to lend her skills to the blogging cause in the future so I suspect you will be seeing some more of what I am wearing around Paris. That’s all for today but before I go I want to say a special thank you to one of my favorite blogging fashionistas Silje for the Beautiful Blogger Award she gave me over on her incredibly stylish blog! Silje travels the world working in fashion and her style is a must see. À bientôt mes cheries!
