Those darlings are my new selfish gift to myself. I’ve been searching the perfect boots for a while. The unique pair of them that combines elegance and comfort and suit all my dresses and pants… Ok ok! those don’t really. They are ok with slim jeans and leggings. But, honestly, which ones do?

One of the perks of having 2 hours commuting everyday (it has to be at least one) is I have resumed on reading.  In Paris, my commuting time was only 20 minutes twice a day most of them walking. I was more comfortable listening to podcasts on my iPhone than bumping hard my forehead in a post while watching toward my feet …

You remember that my getting Italian boots was the top of my shopping list in Roma.

I started browsing the web for fall shopping as I’m yet freezing out in Paris. September is hardly there and it’s 70°F out there. Can you believe it? Paris sucks.

I’ve been into hats a lot lately. I’m fairly classic and hats lifts up my look. But, before being a fashion accessory it protects my ears and hairscalp from the biting cold. I love beanies’ shapes. It keeps my hair done better than hats do. And I like hats with large crowns. 

I’m in love with those boots’ collection ever since Balenciaga introduced them at SS RTW 2010 runway.

I can’t afford them unfortunately. And even if I could, I’ve not the appropriate runway … hem  … job to show them off. White collar …  ”we work here … no place for fashion … we do not throw our money into expensive useless shoes”.

Yeah, I agree it’s the weapon of people that do not want to understand fashion. It’s stupid. But that’s my life…

Anyway. November I’m off to Rome to buy some serious shoes and boots. Not those. But Rome get such gorgeous shoes at a ridiculously low price compared to Paris.

I guess anyone has missed that the Costume Institute Gala Benefit held its 2010 edition last Monday at the MET.
Here is my review of the outfits.

I couldn’t wait Barbie to unveil her last doll by Christian Louboutin.

Here she is. At least
