So, yesterday i had the chauffeur drop me to the ‘flea market’. I figured I’d get some cool ass vintage finds (which I did)…. But of course, while clenching my handbag very tightly under my arm. It’s called port something…. Maybe port northern Africa because its tots full of northern Africans but the really really really bad ones who will rape u, rob you and yes that…. That type. All i need to say is: don’t go sans transportation prive’!!!!
Anyways that was a scary fun experience but tots worth the trip because I came home w a Hermes blouse, a Pucci leotard, a Leonard dress and a no name amazing thing that when the BF saw it he hated it and when he saw it on this tight figure he nearly melted…. Into his bubble bath of Molton Brown eucalyptus, because that’s where he was @ the time of the modeling runway show ala moi!
So last night after the northern african marketsito, I got my baby from work and we went for dinner to the Plaza Athenee restaurant on the side of the hotel. Very non renovated since 1970 but divine, pianist and all. I must say: BEST STEAK TARTARRRR ever…. Ask for serge to make it for you as its prepared table side! Yummyyy!
Nothing is better than a romantic date in Paris with the man you love, so many laughs, and the sparkling, gleaming Eiffel tower in your face!
So today we went to the countryside, was interesting i guess…. Kind of booring, but it was a lazy Sunday, the kind I dream of just lazy with the love…. Anyhow pardon the relatively boring post I’m kinda just nauseous…..
3 more days here than off to Miami! Yey excited!
Signin off, oxo
Miss Sanz replied and said I can blog for the publication…. I’m a bruja witch! Love her, love Glenn, love it!
So, I missed the Marais so much, i ventured back today…. And of course with a purpose! I got my YSL and my LEONARD or what i wanted to pay! Such a good shopper. This shop is amazing, selection of Courreges, Pierre Cardan and beyond. Better clothes than accessories…. Incase you follow my shopping hide, here is the name of the gem
SHOP:
Studio W
21 rue du Pont aux Choux
+33 06 10 66 14 66
I also discovered a incredible British based designer: MALENE ODDERSHEDE BACH. I stumbled into a showroom and my jaw dropped, I would wear every piece out of her fall collection….. Check her out… After all I was wearing Alex Wang when he was just doing cashmeres 8 years ago… Sometimes i know what I’m talkin bout friends!
I’m currently so tired and even after a revival style bath i just soaked in full of Molton Brown products, I can’t snap out of it! I need a Starbucks ASAP. I addicted to this f’n whipped cream!
So it’s fashion week here as you know and finally the beauty is everywhere in this city. I wish Paris was always like this, but unfortunately the glam goes and comes as fashion week goes and comes…. So I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. For the moment, go figure, I emailed Jilian from Haute Living to cover the week for the publication considering I don’t think shell be here and she never replied to me, go figure. HOWEVER with my wonderful luck and witchy-ness, Glenn Albin wrote me, the genius behind many successes in Miami Media including Ocean Drive, Plum Miami and now Fisher Island Mag. After my feature on cobbler Nicholas Kirkwood ran, he just emailed me to see what I can do for next issue! GO figure I’m here, so if the credentials work out, may have a job in Paris! I would love that…. Fingers crossed.
Anyways, after my shower no 2 today, i reluctantly stepped out of LULU Lems and into Prada and YSL high waisted pants and it feels good to feel glam, after all it is fashion week so I’m in the mood….
Off to see my prince! Xo
Destiny Child: NO NO NO
After seeing Alek Weks legs yesterday, I think I’ll shake it to this song all day…
I moved to the 8th yesterday and miss l’isle saint Louis! I m going to walk back like now! off to la Marais. I found a vintage YSL blouse and a Leonard dress that I’m negotiating and I’ve disappeared for like 2 days so maybe I’ll be able to pay what I offered now? AS IF IT WERE BLUE CHIP ART, ugh, well it is my art…. After all, art is life and my life is fashion…
Off on my Starbucks journey, drink of the week: iced cafe Americano with liquid simple syrup, milk and whipped cream. God save my double chin!
There’s a forecast of some major fogginess up in my head….
Some occasional emotional showers….
UGH were all human. YES I CRY, I have feelings and when someone hurts them enough times, we get a weather forecast that is mentioned above…. So like 3000 things runnin’ thru zis mind…. So last night I hiked over to the Pompidou to see their exhibit on dance, which was very sentimental for me. Of course, I cried hahahah, aye guvult! So my superstar love of my life grandma took me to Miami’s MoCA to see the Merce Cunningham exhibit approx 5 years ago…. And i love my Bho so much and miss her (she’s chilling in Miami now)…. That i cried! Anyways, the Pompidou. Ismy favorite museum in the world…. Sorry Bonnie, but the curation is genius, beyond…. And as always, i walked to the back of the 5th floor to have my breath taken away by an Yves Klein … I can just take that piece, put it in a white room with a bed and a huge closet space and move on in!
Sorry i disappeared for a few days, just been preoccupied with my own self. I t is bad news to get lost up in my cabezaa!
Well, the good news is i found some great new spots…. For you!
On Saturday, the gorgeous man love of my life took me to:
Bread and Rose
On the side street where Hermes is off of he St Honore. Very chic, great food, amazing prosciutto and bread toffee desert which i ate for lunch
We had a greatttttttt day together. And I also met his ex girlfriend Moada who is a doll, despite the nasty messages i sent her from his phone, very happy I. Humbled myself and got over it… We became Facebook friends, met while he was napping and woke him up with her in my apt. He probably thought he was getting lucky,hahahha, sorry paps!
Anyways, we went to the Plaza Athenee sexy bar for drinks, then to l’arc for dinner w some of is clients. The place was horrific : NOT EN approved! I repeat: L’ARC is NOT EN approved. Hookers omg ew SO many hookers in the Parisian nightlife scene. Drunk blonde things, infact, when the boyfriend moves his CC from the back pocket to the front, it is time to say bye bye.
FOOD ALERT:
Sunday, my friend Tarek took us to Comptoir du Relais off the ST Germain. OMG t his is EN approved, local people, great vibe, excellent food, and just wow… Not expensive either!
I went back today because I was craving escargot, but ended up with the Tuna, heavennnnnn…..
SHOPPING ALERT:

LOBATO
6 rue Malher

A hidden jewel, carrying select pieces from Pierre Hardy, Balenciaga, Margiella, Lanvin… I got greatttttttt sale boots of le maison MM and a bag from a designer I’ve never heard of, she’s new but her leather feels like Rick Owens deliciousness. The name is Ellen Truijen. Understated elegance. That’s the latest theme in my world….
Cool a$$ Artisan Jeweler
Valerie Sloan
10 rue du Perche
09 62 16 75 96
She had a ring with a big twist on it, looked like a breast cancer logo…. Just wow…

And last but not least, on the playlist: Wilson Philips & Erykah Badu

Ohhh Saturday, it’s here! The only benefit of a Sat versus a Wed to me, is I get to spend the day with my love…. And believe it nor not, I think I’ll meet his ex lover today too. Not with him, but Solo. Kinda crazy, yes, but we actually became acquaintances after i went into full force bitch mode and wrote her from his phone to stay away (in much more harsh terms)… Anyways, it was handled kindly, as one should be if possible, and she’s in Paris and I’m in Paris, so why not i guess!?
Anyways, in a Lanvin Chanel YSL and Caldezonia tights mode today. Sexy midnight blue black just simply nighttttt shine chic! Glitz glitz gliz! I’ll post pix and on a final note, I’ve noticed in the past year, some major major major grey hair appearing, it started with 2 and now it’s 100+! What to do????
