How to celebrate Canada Day in Paris....

With a trip to Garance's fave - La Jolie Garde-Robe! This vintage beauty was in an amaaazing shopping district and the experience was improved tenfold by the fact that none of the clothes I tried on came with that funny, 'oh right this beautiful thing really IS used clothing' smell. Maybe it was their fabulous discernment when it comes to picking pieces, which meant the store wasn't packed with junk and everything was cleaned properly. Or maybe it was just another fashionable perfection that seems to be a part of these Parisians everyday lives....

The ladies who worked there were so wonderful and french I could hardly contain myself (one was wearing a leopard romper, another opted for an all-denim ensemble....I DREAM of pulling off looks like that). I came out of the visit with a blouse that I totally adore and I cannot wait to post photos of it sometime soon!

LIKE ZOOOMIIIGAWWWD YOU GUYS I leave for Paris in (almost precisely) one week!! And my facial expression right now is basically a perfect replica of what you are seeing in this photo. But there is a never ending list between me and my arrival. I have a camera. I have a phone. I have a 50% black wardrobe. I have an enormous shoe collection....now all I need to figure out is like, oh y'knoooow, what to pack, my budget, places to visit, places to SHOP (dammit. my budget just doubled). So I'm doing some serious searching above and beyond what my Lonely  Planet guide has to offer. First stop? The first lady blogger of Paris...Garance DorĂ©.

The vintage store she talks about already has me drooling. CAN.NOT.WAIT.
