Yesterday’s Louis Vuitton show [Read the review] attracted a bevy of French actresses-chief among them, Catherine Deneuve–as well as Sophie Dahl, Freida Pinto, Camilla Belle and Gossip Girl‘s Leighton Meester and Amanda Setton.

I forgot Marc Jacobs was making timeliness happen: apparently, his last two NY shows have begun promptly, and today I nearly missed his Louis Vuitton spectacular because I decided to walk over from Colette Dinnigan. Funny thing: when you ask someone at Paris Fashion Week how long it takes to get somewhere, they give you two times: “weeth heels” and “without.”
I should’ve gone without. But I did skitter in right as the show began, and how lucky I did! Because this show was fun–girlish, giddy fun–which is something I’d no idea I was missing, til 2:30 p.m. (sharp) today. There’s lots of drama in Paris (did you watch McQueen live? I’m still amazed), and there’s beige restraint, and there’s beauty, of course–but not a lot of fun. And what else could you call this bonbon assortment of plaid and prints, pinafores and pockets, and–wholly amazing–poodle hair? The girls looked like Marie Antoinettes on acid. Tassels swung wildly from messenger bags and trussed up shoes–sometimes they were white fur, like funny moustaches. Read more »

We love this origami-inspired folded smock, which has the look of torn up tapestry.

These matching Lovelies pull off perfect purple accents against black ensembles. A classic bowler and animal print scarf are the ideal accessories.

We can’t decide which we like better here: The sophisticated mix of colours, the softly draped layers or her perfectly worn elfin boots. Do we really have to choose?

Black and white are paired perfectly on this lovely’s classic white frock, with minimal accents of puffed sleeves and–our favourite–knee-high spats.

These dove-grey, gently storming mornings in Paris feel softened by the rain. Trench coats replace leathers, standoffish editors lend umbrella cover, and when I get out of the damp and into a show, the place feels tingly with shared relief. I liked it–til I woke up today and found I had fallen way down the weather. Okay, a confession: the causes might not be all natural. I could be blamed, too, for living on macaroons & menthol lights in between vegetable-free meals. In a word, I feel ick. And if it were any other day, I’d have stayed under the covers and ordered in curry.
But today was Chanel day, and maybe I’m sick in more ways than one, but I genuinely felt I didn’t have a choice. Had to gloss over my head cold, put on major heels and a little gilt, and cab out to Le Grand Palais by 10:30 in the morning. Worth it? Beyond. Read more »

In a time when default style tends toward slick leggings and studded leathers, we love a bit of rumpled chic. And this Lovely’s slouchy boots prove you don’t need Uggs to have comfortable shoes.
