What I wore: Chloe jewelled mariniere, Celine Trio and Rivieras Espadrilles

Yesterday was a beautifully sunny day...

Coffee and macarons...what a way to start my day!  Coffee deflated by the time I snapped it...it looked like a souffle before! 

 I think I've had this Chloe top for almost 10 years! My favourite part are the jewelled details...Even though I have 1001 striped tops, this is one of my favourites...

Rivieras espadrilles in the Jimmy Fairly store in Paris - multicoloured leather version available here, I found my colourway here, and similar color combinations at net-a-porter, here and here

We went to our favourite playground, couldn't help 'hopscotching'

 Lil' Brigs #1 had a ball at the playground, especially in the sand pit and on the swing...

Lunch at Burgastronomy: Hot bacon bird - fried chicken, lettuce and tomato with bbq sauce, mayonnaise and chipotle with the most AMAZING sweet potato fries with an extra side of crispy fried chicken for good measure...

Top: Chloe, Sunglasses: Tiffany aviators (I had the Ray Ban folding wayfarer sunglasses earlier), Jeans: Chloe, Bag: Celine, Shoes: Rivieras - multicoloured leather version available here, I found my colourway here, and similar color combinations at net-a-porter, here and here

I cannot tell you how much I love popcorn!

My favourite way to make it: kettle popcorn with cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt and coconut sugar

And the best drink to have it with? Yes, milk...

Hope you are having a fabulous Sunday! 

Mine was lovely! Look forward to sharing about it!

New in: Isabel Marant Dicker boots in Gris

Greetings from Paris! After a couple of days in London, I have arrived in the city of Light. Still exhausted but oh so excited! I brought these boots with me, which arrived a few days before I left, and they are so comfy they haven't required any breaking in, just like my anthracite pair. It's going to be a busy week, with quite a few shows on my schedule, and even an interview with one of my favourite haute couture designers! Hope to share more this week here and on Instagram, so watch this space!

Bisons from Paris!

Shop my closet: Shoes!

I started adding some shoes (Lanvin, Dries Van Noten, Yves Saint Laurent, Marni, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs and Topshop) to my store, if any of you would like to check it out (you can click on the image or here to take you to the store).  I also reduced the prices of most of the items previously there:

Recent Buy: Isabel Marant Dicker boots in Anthracite

For years I dismissed the Isabel Marant Dicker boots for myself because they were suede. Having owned an off-white Paco Rabanne suede bag, I know how impossible it is to keep it clean.  After that bag, I practically never bought suede again, that is, until my Isabel Marant Bobby sneakers...I had read how very comfortable the Dicker boots were, and when they were released in leather, I thought: woo hoo! But somehow, they don't quite look the same in leather, I think something about the different shades of suede, and the matte finish, make the suede boots more versatile.  So, in my pursuit for a grey/gris pair (or even taupe maybe), I came across the anthracite, and caved...

Now that they've arrived, my pursuit for a grey/gris pair is stronger than ever, I tried these on with a big pile of clothes, and it goes with practically everything! And, it's most likely certainly the way my mirror is angled (it's a full-size mirror which leans against my wall, so at a slight angle), but my legs didn't look as short and stumpy as I thought it would.

I tracked down a grey pair in London (boo hoo, still very sad about Matches Fashion selling out), but the store wants to charge me the full amount (VAT inclusive), and said they could send me the VAT form to try to claim my VAT back.  Has anyone done this before? I've always had stores remove the VAT, and would love to hear anyone's experience regarding this!

TIA!

Perspexing Weekend Pt 2.

Following on from my previous post about my Maison Martin Margiela for H&M perspex wedges, the black ankle bootie version has already been used a couple of times. Most recently, last Friday when I went out for dinners with 'the girls'.   I liked its clean design teamed with the girlishness of the rosettes on my 3.1 Phillip Lim t-shirt dress. Remember this post of mine on Phillip Lim and Koi Suwannagate's collaborative rosette pieces a few years ago? Well, since then, I obsessively patiently searched for the t-shirt dresses, and managed to nab them in both white and black. I'm so happy I persisted with my search! The casual silhouette of the t-shirt in soft cotton jersey teams so well with the 3D rosettes, making the dresses so easy to wear...and they have side pockets! Win! I had to add a pop of colour to my outfit with 'snake' (my nickname for it) Chloe Python Paraty bag:

You can add a pop of colour with a Python Chloe Paraty here, or go for black here, or if you can't have python shipped over to your country and/or prefer it in leather, you can find it in several stores, such as Nordstrom, Forward by Elyse Walker, in a gorgeous periwinkle at Ssense, Barneys,and Net-a-Porter (where mine was from).

Perspexing weekend Pt 1.

I still have not unpacked my shoes. Yes, it's been two months since I've moved in, and they are still packed away in my boxes.  That is, with the exception of a handful of shoes I use on a regular basis, which I packed in the suitcase for immediate use. These are: my trusty Havaianas slim sandals, my Dries Van Noten flat sandals, and both my red and black Chloe Susanna boots.  I recently added a pair of Nike Roshe Run sneakers to the mix (so happy with this purchase!), as I can now walk Lil J #1 to child care with Lil J #2 checking out his neighborhood from my Ergo carrier.  

Just after I moved into my new house, a box arrived from London from my lovely sister J, filled with the Maison Martin Margiela for H&M goodies I asked her to buy for me (and a gorgeous Erdem silk scarf thrown in for good measure).  Up until two weeks ago my MMM for H&M Perspex wedges sat patiently in their box as I traipsed around exclusively in flats (well, if the Chloe boots count as flat - they are just as comfy).  

I am so happy with how versatile the two pairs of MMM for H&M shoes are (had some misgivings about purchasing them full-priced), they go with a myriad of outfits and colours, and both pairs went for a spin this weekend.    The nude wedges went perfectly with the Willow Sunset Weave Tweed dress I bought a while ago, and I brought them along to my beautiful friend Kate's wedding (I wore my trusty Dries Van Noten sandals on the 1hr drive):

Sadly, I had to leave the wedding halfway when Mr Brigs decided to 'spin' Lil J #1 around between entrée and main course, resulting in a 'pulled (dislocated)' elbow (Lil J #1's), and a trip to the emergency department...She was having an absolute ball until that point!

Congratulations again, Kate & Simon!

Ciao carissimi! perdonate l'assenza, sono ricorsa a Polyvore, oggi ho avuto da

fare…ad ogni modo, adesso, ho 2 minuti liberi, per cui ecco qualche idea per

capodanno, così un pò casuale. Non metto gli abiti ma mi piacciono e sotto 

l'albero vorrei trovare delle belle scarpe rosse, ed una borsa laminata, tanto quelli 

posso metterli pure coi jeans. Se poi ho altre ispirazioni ve lo faccio sapere…

e magari vi dico come mi vestirò io…sarò la più sportiva della festa…credo…

Ci vediamo domani con un post di idee per chi sta partendo, ed uno

autocelebrativo …

I link dei brand li trovate sotto le immagini in didascalia ;)

un kiss, Amy
