Paris you beauty

photos by me 

It's not often I fall in love with a city that I have been to a million times but this time Paris was different. For starters,  I did not use the metro at all, which, looking back, thank God I did not have to. Who wants to see a grown man pissing along the wall and a French rat giving you that ' qu'est ce que tu regardes connard ' look ? Non, merci. So yeah, this is the part whereby I give you a visual diary and a half-ass outfit post because who wants to see pictures of me when Paris and French wine are in the background, am I right ? Thought so. 

This is not a Canadian Tuxedo

I don't know what this is because even though it's double denim, it does not qualify as a Canadian tuxedo. There is something midwest prairie about the skirt, yet the top saves me from looking like my middle school Social Studies teacher who was from the midwest and wore full-length denim skirts and buttoned up shirts, on top of carrying a massive mobile phone which she must have had since before we were born. Yeah, let me not go into her hairstyle. 

So I found this skirt and bustier at H&M the other day and decided to give this look a go. Maybe at some point I will pair the top with jeans to give a Balmain-ish look or use the skirt as a picnic blanket ; either way I will get my money's worth out of this. 

Boodles Diamonds & Pancakes Breakfast

It's not everyday that I get to eat pancakes decked in £1.5 million pounds worth of jewelry. So when we were invited by Boodles to a Diamonds and Pancakes breakfast at The Wolseley yesterday, naturally, I said yes ! If you are not already familiar with Boodles they are a British brand that specializes in fine jewelry. Although I'm not at a stage in my life where I can afford jewelry in the thousands of pounds, I do keep my eye on what's out there. When I lived in Chelsea, I used to walk down Bond Street in order to take a scenic bus route from Picadilly to my house and I frequently passed Boodles, amongst other jewelry brands, admiring all their shiny, beautiful peices. Until that day comes, I shall cherish moments like these when a girl gets to spend an hour or two with her best friend - diamonds of course !

London Fashion Week

It does not feel like Monday today, if anything it should be Sunday. There is something about London Fashion Week that just messes up my sense of time. You see, I worked on Saturday (yes, I know I'm not the first human to have to work on a Saturday) so it still feels like the weekend to me. Cue in lack of sympathy for the whining model who does not have a regular 9 to 5. What I'm tryign to say is I have a lot of stuff to do by Wednesday and I need one more day please !
