paris perfection

 

As Audrey Hepburn famously said, "Paris is always a good idea." Even for a 96-hour trip! During my whirlwind visit there this past week, I packed in at least 12,000 steps a day, meandering around the Marais, St. Germain des Pres, Ile St. Louis, the Right Bank (and running in Parc Monceau!); popping into art exhibits, fashion presentations, several parties and, of course, shopping! Want to know what I bought? Pretty much what the chic Parisiens are wearing: these Prada kitten heels, the embellished Sandro jacket, below, that I belted with this, as well as this denim coatigan, and this Isabel Marant boucle jacket. (Thanks to the strongest dollar in two decades!) All of these new gems complemented what I had packed in my Rimowa carry-on: the Maison Mayle black corduroy suit, below, the Mayle top and skirt, above, the bronze corduroy Blaze Milano blazer, the black square-neck G.Label Goop dress (which garnered major praise from all the French fashionistas), these Sam Edelman velvet Mary Janes, this Dorsey lab-grown Riviere necklace, and Doen's ruffle-trimmed maxi, and these Chloe knee-high brown boots, all pictured below. You can check out all the highlights (and my outfits) in my Instagram Paris Highlights.
