Spring in Paris

While abroad in Paris, I have been fortunate enough to bear witness to a vast range of distinct and tasteful fashion trends on a daily basis.  Quite recently, the Parisian sun decided to make a very fashionable and much welcomed entrance, signaling that spring has sprung in the City of Amour. On the more sunnier days, I spend my afternoons in the various parcs around the city. I was in Jardin des Tuileries the other afternoon enjoying the soleil after class and caught up with a friend by the pond. 

I kept my outfit simple by pairing my favorite forest green military inspired jacket from Banana Republic with a classic très French black and white striped top from H&M. For the bottoms, I went with some high-waisted Zara shorts with black tights to keep my legs warm. As for the footwear, I sported my new Zara flats with gold metal detail on the tip. Since school had just gotten out, I had my school supplies in my black LongChamp bag and my Linda Farrow sunnies.

Artsy Fartsy Day

Bonjour mes amis!! (Hello, my friends) As you can probably tell from the title of the post, my day was filled with super "artsy fartsy"activities. First task of the day was to finish my International Economics paper. Then for the rest of the day, I just caught up on journaling and started to cut out things I liked from my old magazines and made collages. Oh you know... just another Saturday evening, exercising the right side of my brain.

The Little Bit of Inspiration I Needed...

I really do need to apologize for not posting but studying abroad, in Paris, is a major distraction. I want to blog more often and document the fashion I get to witness everyday just walking back from school or my local boulangerie. Thank you Mr. Wang for reminding what I love the most and what my true passion is, fashion. Enjoy mes amis!! xx

Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week has officially ended and the city was filled with must see editors from all over the world, beautiful models and crazed photographers and fans. Everyone who's everyone has been planning their outfits months in advance. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to witness all the fashion madness and to be a spectator of the iconic attendees like Anna Dello Russo, André Leon Talley, Franca Sozzani, Bill Cunningham and many more. This week is also another busy week for me because it is mid-terms week, but soon after it will be spring break!! I will try to post more often on my blog because this is something I enjoy doing unlike studying for my International Economics or American Business Law mid-terms but of course schooling is important.

Here are pictures from the first day I went out to see what Paris Fashion Week was all about. These pictures are from the Nina Ricci Show in the Jardin des Tuileries (which was by far my favorite venue).  Since it was the first day, I just wanted to see how fashion week was set up, so I do apologize for the terrible pictures but I do promise that it progressively gets better as the week went on.
