the return

after two weeks in paris, i'm finally back. new york seems much colder than i remember and its hard getting back into the swing of things (speaking english, what time do i leave for work in the morning, what do you mean i don't have a concierge?) but it was nice having thanksgiving with friends. hope you all enjoyed yours. 

t-1 day

i've spent a fair amount of time in paris, but this particular visit is exciting for two reasons. 1. the euro has relaxed a bit (i can shop again) and 2. obama is the president elect (so i don't have to listen to every pierre, jean et auguste tell me about how ridiculous american politics are, cool nymag article on that). however unbeknownst to me when i was making these plans i'm missing out on some serious activities in the u.s.a.
-banana/gap friends and family coupon

-bloomingdales friends and family coupon

-twilight comes to theatres

-sample sales up the ying yang

-opening of union square holiday market (boo, i always go on the first day, its my tradish).

so for those of you that aren't joining me on this trip to paris, please enjoy these for me. i will shop cheaply vicariously through you. {above photo via}

ps. no time to waste. off to the airport. bises!

les shoes

I picked up two new shoes for mon vacance. i tried on so many this weekend but i ended up getting them both (!?) at urban and they are both (!?) comfortable. that is punctuation of disbelief btw. i hope they encourage wild behavior. un, deux.

bon weekend mes amis

i hope everyone has a nice weekend. i'm staying in the city and shopping (maybe some samples?) for my upcoming trip to paris (this thursday!)

lady time

i got my hair cut last night, and my bangs have me feeling rather ladylike. for me and my wardrobe these whims typically manifest into ruffles.
