Yes that's right folks I am in love with Paris. Mind you was I ever not going to be? It has been four days and already the city has exceeded all of my expectations.
Firstly, I literally bumped into Karl Lagerfeld on the street. Okay, granted it was Rue Cambon where I knew the Chanel head office was located and I might have been walking up and down it one or two (thousand!!) times just in case I caught him on the way in but still what are the odds? He was as short and powdered as I had imagined but was scooped up so quickly by his security that I didn't manage a pic.
Secondly I was lucky enough to catch the end of fashion week. Obvi there would be no show viewing for little old assistant me but since fashion simply flows so freely around the streets here I stumbled upon two major shows by accident. Firstly, Giambattista Valli and the second Chanel itself. Its so surreal how close you can get to such major events here. I got some great pictures of all the fashionistas and the celebs. Unfortunately my camera isn't connecting to my laptop though so you will have to wait in anticipation for photographic evidence. But, look forward to Alexa Chung, Carine Roitfield, Julia Restoin-Roitfield, Olivia Pallermo, Lily Cole etc So inspiring!
Retail therapy wise I have already burnt a major hole in my budget thanks to Printemps and an amazing vintage store I found in the Marais. I got some great vintage Moschino there tres exciting! Zara is so addictive too, I cant wait for it to hit our shores. I am however zoning in on one main purchase in particular but I want to evaluate all other options before I take the plunge. I feel the exchange is imminent. In other words that means I need to sell my kidney on the side walk near the Bastille first then I can hop on the metro line one and drop the bomb at YSL.
Any who just a quick note, I'm off to walk the walk and talk the talk
