Something Blue

It's finally warm enough here that skirts and dresses can be taken out of the closet! Normally, the blue tweed skirt I would wear with darker colors for fall and winter, but the white sweater is refreshing for spring or summer. Geometric lines are very "in" right now, but I wanted to make the style my own with a nice tied cinched belt and ballerinas.

Christian Dior Resort 2014

I love that Raf Simons brought the classic "lady" back to Dior. In the resort 2014 collection, he restructured the classic silhouettes into asymmetrical forms and played beautifully with sheers stripes, lace, and lots of color. I love the way he put lace, layered over striped bandeaus or gently place a stripe of it on a white dress with other printed fabrics. My favorite little detail is the crossed scarf on a v-neck blouse or dress.

Celebrating May at Monet's

Today is the the first day of May, and I for one, could not be happier! I love May, not only because it is my birthday month, but also I really feel the beautiful weather of spring going into summer! Unfortunately, it has been a cold spring here in Paris and we still have to wear  tights with our colorful spring skirts. Monet's gardens are so beautiful! There must have been every type of flower throughout and the colors were so vibrant! It was the perfect day trip to bring in the new month. Happy May to everyone!

Best friends

There is nothing more fabulous than two fashionistas laughing it up. 

Last weekend, I went to Madrid to visit my best friend. It's so lovely there; sun, flowers, and that amazing iberico jamon! I added a nice pop of color with the new Repetto orange flats and something cool with the clear glasses from a glasses maker called See in United States. My coat is Club Monaco. My friend is wearing a Claudie Pierlot jacket with a cute bow belt and Claudie Pierlot booties with the ever so classic Chanel 2.55.

Miss Wu

Jason Wu created a great new contemporary collection called Miss Wu, inspired by my favorite era - the '60s! I love the shift dresses, full skirts, and great prints! I'm so happy for comeback of the '60s! The collection is sold exclusively at Nordstrom. 

Classic black wool trench

The trench coat never goes out of style. This one I'm wearing is a wool and cashmere blend from the original trenchmaker Burberry, great for cold weather. Now living in Paris, I need a coat from October to April and this one goes with almost anything. It's also great from day to night. This coat has prooven to be a great investment.

I'm wearing it with grey suede booties from Elizabeth Stuart, an YSL bag, and a scarf from Nordstrom. 

Ladylike in Place des Vosges

Place des Vosges is probably the prettiest square in Paris with wonderful little secrets hidden in ever corner. The architecture here is beautiful with pink bricks, and even in the cold, the grass is still very green. Here I am wearing a tweed grey chain-lined jacket, which I found at a boutique in the Marais, over a white shirtdress with a flouncy skirt. For accessories, I paired my Chanel classic quilted black bag and black patent Repetto flats, keeping it "ladylike."
