Last weekend in Paris

Fashion
Sep 26, 2009155 Comments

There was a cold snap in the air when we reached Paris…felt very romantic.
 
Mom and I stopped in a park which I've forgotten the name of..
Wow!! Why don't trees look like that in Texas?
While we were in Paris, we bought an accessories magazine, and they had styled this Ann Demeulemeester boot with one shaft on, one shaft off. I couldn't resist trying it myself!
 
Mom's beautiful Dries van Noten pumps that I am soooo jealous of.
Just after we left NY…we saw this graffiti on the street!
Cool model of something in a window…
On the Rue de Archives
We passed this window with a billion jumpropes all tangled up in it..it was oddly compelling.
Saw this AMAZING vintage book store…it was closed, otherwise I would have gone in there and snatched up those Vogues.
Enjoyed a delicious veggie lasagna.
It's true..Paris has the cutest dogs in the world.
Sigh…this post is making me want to jump on a plane to Paris…but it's a beautiful aft
ernoon here in Texas..perfect for some lunch and shopping. My mom and my sister and I had a great time today at Northpark…and we brought home some incredible shoes!! We've waited on these shoes for quite some time. Can't wait to post them.
 I hope everyone everywhere is enjoying their weekends!
xo Jane

    I love the exposure an light in all of these photos, it always makes me miss autumn (although we are currently heading into spring here in Australia). Your outfit is very urban equestrian chic with your tan pants and those Ann D’s. Great styling wearing them like you did.

    Oh, the jealousy. I am dying to go to Paris. I am dying to go anywhere. Your pictures, as always, are fabulous and if I ever saw you in person, I think I would knock you over and steal your shoes. Except I wouldn’t actually knock you over (because I am a pacifist and, well, little and scrawny) but maybe I would give you a good poke in the ribs. AND THEN STEAL YOUR SHOES AS NICELY AS POSSIBLE. *sighs happily*

    Real Talk: the only reason why you are able to enjoy this fantasy life that you lead is because you are filthy stinking rich with parents who clearly aren’t looking for a lawyer or doctor out of you. You clearly aren’t attending school of any kind so I suppose the NYTimes article about you WAS spot on. I’m sure it also helps that your mother gets to live vicariously through ALL of your appearances and events. This isn’t an attempt to tear you down but to basically make sure you know that you need to own it. Own the fact that this blog is just a mass of narcissism that feeds the hungry little jealous readers that comment excessively and aggressively. it is their obsession with your blog that has created all of the opportunities that you have been so graciously afforded. I’m not even quite sure what it IS you do apart from wear insanely expensive couture and vintage clothing. Are you a stylist? Designer? I’m just confused, disturbed and completely put off. You’ll probably delete this because this comment is entirely too real for the likes of the mindless drones that write on and on about much they envy, love and adore you but I must say I’m afraid. Afraid that this is the future. Idol worship of a wealthy girl amid economic chaos.

I’d recommend reading the biography of Marie-Antoinette by Stefan Sweig, a masterpiece! This is it for the history class…

    I’ve been to that vintage magazine store on the rue des Archives. It’s called Les Archives de la Presse. I got some amazingly great vintage Paris Vogue magazines from the early 90’s (Hello, Tom Ford at Gucci!) I believe you can order from their website: http://www.journaux-collections.com – if you can speak French, of course (which I can’t… frowny face!) p.s. it took me about three weeks to find that shop! I saw these vintage Vogue magazines in a little boutique in the Marais and I asked her where she got them and she couldn’t remember but knew the general neighborhood. I went from shop to shop asking if anyone knew the place. I was so excited when I found it. Oh, and for Maria, the address is: 51, Rue des Archives 75003. It’s a few blocks down from the Hôtel de Ville.

    from the incline im thinking… by the artificial lac in the bois du boulogne? and btw you neednt have waited for the bookstore! there are TONS of vintage vogues in all languages in the metal stalls by the seine from the end of the louvre all the way to the notre dame(esp on weekends) starting from the morning all the way to 5 or 7. next time! oh and you have to eat the eggplant parmigiana in il giramondo on grenelle in the seventh for lunch sometime. my absolute favorite after school!
