When it comes to shoes I am very picky: I like simplicity, quality and comfort and prefer to have a few pieces to choose from, but in summer it is not always easy. I walk a lot in Paris (27K steps a day) and there are no better shoes than sneakers to help me get through the day ...
Wearing statement pieces over and over again mean one thing: timeless trends. The classic pieces that people can wear on repeat are not only refreshing and show style, but also create an even bigger desire to be purchased.

Have been going to the same places for the past few days: coffee at Kitsune, strolling on the Collete alley, window shopping around the galleries. I find there is magic in Palais-Royal and I get so disconnected while being there.

IT IS A LONG WEEKEND here in Spain, as it is in Canada and some parts of the US. Here, there were fireworks last night and parades and marching bands this afternoon. As for us, well we had the most perfectly leisurely and lovely morning, coffee and autumn sunlight and the streets below all quiet. We’re in planning mode this week, for Friday’s early morning flight, as well as a few last-minute deadlines.
