Room With A View: Paris

I have a courtyard view this time. Not as exciting as a boulevard, but it’s lovely and very quiet.

It’s so nice to be back in Paris! I arrived late yesterday afternoon, did a bit of exploring around the immediate area, and had a light dinner en terrasse at a nearby café. The weather is still pleasantly warm, though it’s supposed to cool off tomorrow.

The light yesterday wasn’t great, so I popped out early this morning to snap a few shots in the Jardin du Luxembourg. It never disappoints!

I’ve already made a quick pass through City Pharma, and will go back later with a list.

Paris Style Notes

I’ll be taking copious notes this week on what I’ve observed here style-wise. What did stand out immediately though, were a couple of ubiquitous footwear choices.

Stan Smith style sneakers are popular in Paris.

Sneakers are still everywhere. Solid colors (white or black) and sleeker styles predominate. Lots of Stan Smiths. No age limit.

Tan and black cap-toe ballet flat

The other type of shoe that I spotted on women of all ages is the cap-toe ballet flat. Whether contrasting like this one or solid, flat or with a low heel, the cap toe detail seems popular.

Once the cooler, wetter weather arrives, my guess is that I’ll be seeing more boots.

Paris is calling, and I’m heading out the door. More soon!
