While in search of a decent book to read in Paris, I came across these amazing book covers.  These classics are published by Penguin as part of their ‘Great Loves’ series.

Love it or Hate it??? Furry Vests…

Isabel Marant is my all time favorite designer. Every time I go to Paris, I schedule my first day around making a trip to her store. The above image is an Isabel Marant ad from a French magazine. The most common high-street trend I saw was the furry vest. It’s kind of a weird trapper-chic look. I’m not a fur person (I only wear it if it’s vintage), what do you think? Love it or Hate it?

Shopping at Colette…

I spied these gun rulers while shopping at Colette, (these rulers can also be purchased at Atypyk) Colette is an awesome concept shop near the Louvre which is known for having a very high profile clientelle, but us average fashionistas can always find something there too!
PS-I ran into Karl Lagerfeld while trying to get up the stairwell.

Latest Obsession…riding boots

Although I’m typically I heel sort of girl, I’m totally obsessed with riding boots.  I’m not sure if it’s from growing up on a farm, but I love the near practicality of these boots.  I just picked up a pair at a second hand shop in Paris that has a similar shape.  These are by Frye, and are available at Anthropologie.
