I have been taking some time over the past couple of days to catch up on my fashion and review the Milan and Paris Fashion Week shows all over the internet. It’s such a fun fantasy real-life break to watch all of the videos of the shows and pretend I’m there, like in New York….

take me to Paris
Altuzarra for J.Crew Patricia striped dress, Barney’s cashmere scarf, Ray Ban aviators, Marc by Marc Jacobs purse, Bottega Veneta wedges I admittedly have been listening to the ‘Midnight in Paris’ soundtrack a lot lately. On top of that there is the new Parisian Joseph Altuzarra for J. Crew collection inspired by “Brigitte Bardot in Saint-Tropez…
we'll always have paris
Anthropologie blazer, Opening Ceremony tee, Madewell jeans, Vince Camuto heels, America Apparel purple clutch, vintage and c/o Sears necklaces, Topshop earrings “But what about us?” “We’ll always have Paris….” -Casablanca (daily dose of Bogart and Bergman here, you must watch, for me)

Please note: their french onion soup was divine.
