I Love Collette:

I knew from the beginning that Collette would be my favourite part of Paris. I must admit though, even I had underestimated it's retail magnificence. I went there four times in my first week alone.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Balmain, Christopher Kane, Hermes, Burberry, Proenza Schouler, Lanvin etc were all housed in the one room. I was salivating to the point that I thought that they might ask me to step away from the expensive leather pieces. Maybe they should start water proofing them just in case I visit again.

Even without all of those labels it is still so cool. There is a great collection of art books and cool cds as well as a super beauty department downstairs. Also the cafe downstairs was really only one of the two places that actually served a decent coffee in France.  The second being Cafe Ruc but that cost an arm and a leg, literally its worked out to be $25 for two flat whites. Ouch!

Why dont we have stores like this in Sydney.

Anywho the point is I could live there, honestly.
