These photos were taking in Paris during last Fashion Week, and to be honest, I wouldn’t think they would apply anymore to the – usual warmer – weather this time of year in New York… However, I was wrong! Today, on a beautiful Saturday morning, one which the sun is shining, kids are playing baseball in the park, and outdoor spaces are officially open, it’s so freaking cold!! I literally want to wear nothing else than hip and comfy leggings, oversized knits, and big BIG coats – like this Saks Potts one for example – that keep me warm! So we now just have to find the right coats for the season and pretend we’re not freezing cold, because after all, it is Spring!
One of the true highlights of Paris Haute Couture week is – since two years – the Bonpoint fashion. And you’ve heard me saying this before, but it is truly the happiest show, every season again. Obviously they have the cutest lineup, and smiles are 100% guaranteed. Although, each season there’s one sweet pea who decides – just when stepping on the runway – that this is NOT HAPPENING!! This, again “obviously”, makes for the sweetest moments. Free to run back to their spot backstage, they go. Understandable, because walking in a fashion show is not for every kid. Sometimes starting at the age of 2, they have to walk down a runway with countless people on both sides smiling at you, but most impressively; looking at YOU! James and Stella walked the show for the second time, and here I’m sharing some of the most memorable moments – plus, of course, all my favorite looks of the Bonpoint Fall-Winter 2018 show! Be prepared for MANY photos to come…
Four times per year – I still can’t believe it’s that many times actually – I’m in Paris for Fashion Week. Twice for ready-to-wear and twice for Haute Couture, which in fact, was just over week a week ago! I’m sure you’ve seen some of my instagram coverage of the adventures Couture brought, but it’s mostly focussed on the highlights, with the exception of some day-to-day activities on my stories. But, as you know, too, I like to make it “picture perfect” so even there it’s always “real, but with a beautiful filter”. However, what I didn’t really share are the moment in-between; a quick croissant run to the bakery next door, a fitting around the corner from my hotel, or the lunch meeting in my favorite restaurant… I am, quite obviously, not doing that in the outfits I wear to the Haute Couture shows! So here’s my guide to the ultimate day-to-night “Parisian” look, even though I’m not a Parisian by blood.
You can’t imagine how proud I am seeing this video. Obviously I experienced this same feeling a few days back, while I was looking at my two cute babies walking down the Bonpoint runway for the second time, but being away from home – in Palm Spring for a press trip, which I can’t complain about – the feeling get EXTRA.
It’s Valentino Sunday, and I couldn’t be more excited! Always as one of the highlights of my Paris Fashion Week, the Valentino show – and of course my look to the show, which is not the one shown above – promises to be amazing. I say… Apple green… does that make you excited yet? Well, make sure to tune in to watch the show, the people, and everything else that comes with this fairytale. See you there!
