Tuesday Inspiration

While Paris is not a perfect city (read: yucky smells) it is undeniably inspirational as even the most common of things have an ideal aesthetic. This city's original beauty is a constant reminder that even the simplest of things, like lacey banners, magazine covers or a cup of tea have a certain charm. Especially as Paris embraces the changing of seasons.

A Monday in Paris

Mondays in the states are not nearly as rad as Mondays in Paris. For some reason I just love this day of the week. Today was a day of cozy sweaters, French film watching, wine drinking along the Seine with my sweet roommate and hair dying! That's right, I'm seriously brunette again and I totally dig it. Now, Qianjin, Taryn, Jane and I are off to salsa at the neighborhood bar. But before we go anywhere, Classixx is ringing throughout our halls. Dig it.

Getting ready to salsa makes me miss you,  Robbie.
The best dance partner I could ask for. 

And like this... I miss you Santa Barabara (but only a little bit ;) )

Dancing 'till Mornin': No Joke

Each night that I have been less than motivated to go out have ended up being some of the best nights, with some my favorite people. Talk about rallying paying off. Here is a weekend sum up (thus far) via Taryn's camera. 

She makes me giggle

The Best of Paris

My luck is at an all time high. Between fashion week runway shows and events, finding ten euro on the ground at a bar, and running around Paris with a group of local Parisians until five in the morning, Paris is surely winning over my heart. I really do love this city. Here are some of my favorite moments captured in photos over the course of the last week.

The ASVOFF4 venue.

Fashion Week Events: ASVOFF4 Cocktail Preview

While Fashion Week is coming to an end, the excitement of all things la mode are hardly wearing off. Tonight Jane and I will be heading over to L'Eclaireur for the ASVOFF4 Cocktail event, which is a Fashion Week event previewing Diane Prenet's film "A Shaded View of Fashion." Diane Pernet has many titles, including designer, blogger and fashion editor for Elle.com and VogueParis.com. Needless to say, tonight holds many opportunities for fantastic photo-ops and endless inspiration for costumery! I'll be sure to post pictures here as soon as possible. And make sure to check Society805.com for more details on Paris Fashion Week as the runway shows come to an end.

Viktor & Rolf Show: Paris Fashion Week 2011

Le Jardin de Tuileries is one of my favorite places to relax in the sun and read a book on weekend mornings or lazy afternoons. Today however, my tranquil spot became quite energetic, as the Viktor & Rolf fashion show was taking place in the Espace Ephemere Tuileries at one 1:30. I hurried over to photograph the decadently dressed and admire the creative ensembles on the attendees. Here are some of my favorite photographs. Enjoy!

THE Bill Cunningham snapped a picture of me. Squeal!

Lutz Runway Show, Paris Fashion Week 2011

This has to be the best week to be living in Paris, as fall Fashion Week has consumed every inch of the city. After attending the Lutz runway show last night, I literally saw one of the models on the metro. And she was just as stunning off the runway. The designer created an energetic line that combined geometric structure with playful details and pops of color. Quite perfect for a glamorous girl in Paris.
