somehow the monday blahs manage to get you even when you don't have class.

thunderstorms and jasmine tea are the perfect antidote to a not so fun day.

spring rain smells delicious.

off to dinner at Le Rubis.

a plus tard.

score

Maison Martin Margiela is having a private sale on April 15th.

It starts at 10am, meaning any fashionista worth her louboutins will be there before sunrise.

If you want to go - and I know you do - then print off the invitation below.

chez moi

(Sarkozy's pied-à-terre)

I generally like to think of my home as a big closet that I occasionally sleep in. I don't really spend much time chez moi but there are certain things I love about my appart:

Location: really the only thing that matters in real estate. I live on the edge of the 1st and 8th arrondissement, on a street with the world's most ye olde pretentious French name! Hurraaay!

My "huge" bathroom: I put huge in quotations because in Canada it would be considered a glorified water closet but in Paris it's immense.

Storage: there really isn't any in most paris apartments. I have 4 closets at my disposal and a huge chest of drawers. Jealous?

Cleaning: can't really take that long because ummmm it's about the size of an American walk in closet.

My fridge: which is stocked only with the essentials: milk, eggs, and Perrier (occasionally yogurt as well!).

Location 2: I live down the street from Colette, Lanvin, and every other designer store imaginable, and around the corner from my beloved Laduree and Palais de l'Élysée. My neighborhood has 3 Chanels and only one grocery store. Convenience where it counts.

If it's good enough from Carla and Sarko it's good enough for me!

fantasy footwear

These Miu Miu's border on kitsch but I think they're fantastic.

lovin' you more every day Obama.

impossibly trendy

One of my favorite restaurants in Paris is housed in one of the best museums, Palais Tokyo. Tokyo Eat is where I go when I’m sick of French food and nothing else seems right. The chocolate and banana milkshakes are impossibly wonderful as is the ever-changing seasonal menu. The restaurant was designed by a multitude of contemporary artists including the ever-fabulous Mr. Andre, who also curates the museum store, Black Block. In the warmer months you can eat on the patio, which boasts on the best views of the Eiffel Tower in the city. Along with ridiculously delicious dinners, you can often find us grabbing a quick drink here before we wander down the street to Baron. LOVE THIS PLACE.

She writes the most fantastic music blog you can find here.

Vacation haze

Sorry for the slowdown in posts but I simply haven't had the time. Fashion week consumed my life and I've been running around like the Energy Bunny on speed.

Yesterday we closed out fashion week in style by attending a wonderful party thrown by the lovely Spike Jonze (no one will admit it but sometimes the parties are better then the shows....). Everyone you could ever want to see was there. Terry Richardson, Kate Lanphear, Anna Dello Russo, to name a few. Our antics on the dance floor where punctuated by laps around the party to spot celebrities and shoes!

Now let's get down to serious business and recap the best of the week.

Louis Vuitton

Channeling Betty Draper at Louis Vuitton. For every straight man who's ever watched a fashion show and thought "No woman would look good in that," this collection's for you.

Alexander McQueen

McQueen's legacy in feathers and lace takes my breath away.

Miu Miu

Girlie provocation courtesy of Miuccia. Very lolita-esque

Lanvin

Lanvin. Swoon.

I'll post the rest of my favorite collections plus tard.
