Have Bloggers Replaced Fashion Journalists?

Bonjour mes amies! Are fashion journalists a thing of the past? There was a space in time when many thought that bloggers were replacing the coveted fashion journalist. But before answering this question, do you know the difference between the two professions? It is pretty safe to say that fashion journalists and fashion blogging serve different purposes and cater to…

FOMO : The Fear of Missing Out…Because of What?

Bonjour mes amies! FOMO is REAL. While this term is mainly associated avec social media #hashtags, the concept predates Wi-Fi (for my Gen Zers.) FOMO typically resonates when scrolling and a photo (or video) of a group of friends or loved ones are out celebrating, beachside/poolside (vintage mes amies know this would NEVER evoke FOMO avec moi), shopping on Rue…

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE DUPES

Bonjour mes amies! I recently shared a piece of luggage that I had been SWOONING over! Not my Louis Vuitton Horizon that I am absolutely obsessed avec but a (clutch your pearls) CHECK-IN luggage. Vintage mes amies know that I am the carry-on QUEEN! I pride myself on being able to travel the world for any amount of days avec…

KID SUPER x LOUIS VUITTON | Are You Feeling Lucky?

Bonjour mes amies! As you read this, I am á Paris. As I was minding my business browsing in Louis Vuitton, I was halted in my footsteps by what appeared to be my definition of fine art (I have an Art History Degree, so I feel that my definition of art is legitimate.) Words can barely express how magnifique this…

Thrifting | Vintage | Consignment | Is There A Difference?

Bonjour mes amies! Once upon a time, I hosted in-person shopping experiences. I would organize a group of mes amies, and we would go shopping at vintage and consignment stores. Upon arrival, one of the most popular questions I received was, “why is this consignment shop so expensive?” There is a common misconception that vintage, thrifting, and consignment are synonymous;…

Spotted. The History of Leopard Skin & Print.

Bonjour mes amies! It would be a grave disservice if I did not lead by first noting the common misuse of the term "leopard print." The term leopard is more often used to encompass all printed cats. Not solely the leopard. From the pictures below, I'd like for you to guess, which print is leopard. Now, to l'historie! Wearing the…

Walk the Walk.

I walked by the entrance of the boutique, pretending to be en route to somewhere else. Note, during that time, there weren’t any other shops in the neighborhood.  “I wonder if she saw me looking through the window?” I thought to myself. I did one more lap around the block and finally said, “I’m going in.” I walked into the…

I “Need” a Getaway. But Will That Solve Your Problems?

I hear this statement so often. And when I do, I simply smile and nod at the speaker. That statement is often made in the midst of a mental or emotional meltdown. I’m guilty of it myself.  But after I allow myself to sulk for an allotted period (oui, I now set a timer for how long I can be…
