Casual Friday

Posted on April 9th, 2010 in Fashion

Thank goodness it’s Friday. Best of all I got a cute cute new shirt to wear and some good plans! Two classes, then a free afternoon hopefully on the Champ de Mars because it is very sunny right now, and then seeing Mélanie Laurent in a play with my petit copin tonight. It’s going to be a good day. If you want to get pumped up for the weekend this is the anthem…

My new shirt is from none other than my favorite Suncoo that I talk about all the time! I’m also rocking this retro side swept hair lately, what do you think?

These jeans are by The Kooples and they are a light wash with a pretty slightly pink tint to them. The comfy and airy boyfriend fit and the color is perfect for spring.

It has a pretty woven pattern and then drapes down the arm.

I got this clutch for my birthday from my mom It’s vintage 60’s and comes from a very very very cool and accomplished friend of ours. I hope all her success will carry on to me through this bag!

I’ve got some spring time polish on, Miami Peach by Chanel.

This shirt is so soft you have no idea. I am a sucker for soft materials, which is why my place is filled with faux fur pillows and blankets.

Sofia got a bunch of studs which we have been miscellaneously placing on items including my jeans here.

These shoes are by LF and studded in gold and silver. So cool and super comfortable they were a great buy and are on their last leg now…no pun intended.

Yes, I really am that excited it is finally the weekend. Some weeks are just harder than others…

Bardot in Pink

The sun and warmer weather have finally arrived in Paris. It was like one day we just woke up, and winter was over. Cafe terraces are alive again during these milder evenings and spring wardrobes are slowly but surely seeing daylight again. I recently got a few new things to freshen up my style for the weather. It seems like this year’s spring fashion trends are right up my alley, with lots of feminine pieces and soft beautiful colors as well as platform shoes. I recently found the cutest new store in the Marais called Suncoo where I got this dress and a few other adorable things I can’t wait to share with you. I will be sure to add Suncoo to My Paris guide. I am also adding a new feature to my posts, music! Click play, listen, read, relax…

My favorite part of the dress is the back. The tiered layers drape and flow in the breeze, and at the top there is an adorable scalloped detail.

It  has these pretty layers in the front as well.

The  front is adorned with this opaque ivory colored jewel collar. Here I am wearing an antique ivory bow I found at the Port de Vanves flea market for five euros. I strung a silver chain through it to wear it as a necklace.

Admiring my new shoes here…

I was beginning to worry that all my blog readers might think I only owned one pair of shoes! All my outfit posts thus far I have been wearing my favorite Chie Mahari russian doll booties (a name I gave them). Those booties were a life saver this winter, however I do own more than one pair of shoes! These are a new pair I got last week by one of my favorite brands Cosmo Paris. They make adorable and affordable shoes and each season have tons of styles you can find at Printemps. I love the patten leather because I don’t have to worry about wearing them out in spring showers.

The wedge heel is also very comfortable.

The dress has the pretty detail around the bottom as well. You can see the cute but subtle little hearts on my favorite Tabio stockings.

The wood heel on the new platforms are quite loud when I walk though!

What are your favorite trends for spring fashion this year? Happy spring time!
