Jumping on the band wagon for Street Style: Paris Fashion week.

I have all of your faves from Paris Fashion Week, Christine Centenera, Susie Bubble, Lily Donaldson, Alexa Chung, Olivia Pallermo etc just to name a few but do treat this as a lesson in Paparazzi 101. It is hard to hustle the paps at these events I have learnt so please excuse the fact that these simply aren't very good photos. At least you know that I haven't ripped them right of the Sartorialist right?

  Charlotte Dellal looks so elegant in this look. It really suits a fiery red head. Meow!

 Anna Dello Russo's pins are in mint condition. I love her crazy braids with this leopard print wizz bang of a dress. If you have it flaunt it!

Hot tomale!  Leather is everywhere and on everything in Europe. The belt and harness confuse me here  but that doesn't mean I don't like it.

 More leather but put together in two opposing tones. Divine! Christine always gets it right. I must admit I had a hard time getting passed all of the Japanese bloggers to get her pic. They love her!

 This girl's blouse was so pretty and was made with lace and pearls. I thought it was vintage but she had made it herself. If only she had picked better shoes this outfit would score a nine out of ten.

 This chick from Philadelphia was a shape shifter and a half. I saw her three days in a row and she looked so different everytime. This look suits her much better than the grunge look she wore the day before. She belongs on the seventies show!

 This chick was decked out in American Apparel from head to toe. Its so different in Paris as it has so much more vintage than here in Sydney. They also don't merchandise the store  like a its a Supre store just between you and I.

 Susie Bubble! One of my favourite bloggers.  Love the big pockets on your blue coat.

 I loved this girl's large orange clutch. So daring!

 Sooooooooooooo Euro but, in a good way. I noticed fur was everywhere tooin Europe. This particular type was of the Mongolian variety. Not bad at all.

 OMC! So much Chanello. L.O.V.E!

 Lily Donaldson is heaven! She is never without her denim cut offs. I now see why as she makes them look so great with just about anything, even a boring old pussy bow blouse.

 This look is so on trend. I think it is especially well  executed here with the edgy shoes. 10 points!

 Could you be prettier?

No words for this one! Too perfect for words.

Its all in the detail.

I love Tommy Ton from JakandJil.com and obviously so does style.com. They had him on the streets and at the shows in Paris. Here are some of my favourite up close and personal pics from him.

Take notes, these gals know how to accessorize.

Boom!

Voila! My new petite amie!

Paris, J'taime

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
