Paris, Je t'aime

I was supposed to write this post yesterday on Bastille Day, alas life got in the way. Please forgive me.

I love Paris. I love it's food (real butter in everything!). I love its architecture. I love the history. I love the Parisian attitude. And I love the fashion. Its the fashion capital of the world, and while many other cities are in competition for the same title from London to Tokyo, Paris, in my opinion will always wear the crown.

Parisians have a certain, je ne sais quoi. They are very laissez faire. And that's why their style is so effortless. They are chic without trying. Their casual is always put together. When I was last in Paris, I don't think i ever saw a girl wearing a pair of jeans.Men rarely wore a t-shirt unless it was under a blazer or with a scarf.

For many of us in the US our go to weekend, casual outfit is a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. In Paris, they put a little more effort, seemingly without even trying. I am in awe of their style, their ease of life. A simple shrug of their shoulders seems to do away with all of life's problems.

One of my favorite fashion blogs Refinery29 had a great street style slide show this weekend. I thought I would share. The below pic is one of my favorites from the site.
