Sezane Black Friday: It doesn’t exist. Not really. [Update, 11/29: We have an answer to the question of if at the last minute this would finally be the year that Sézane gave in and did some sort of major Black Friday promotion — and no! The answer is here, and....
Polène! I went home for three months came back and there were 1000 Polène boutiques in my neighborhood (actually: one, where a Comptoir des Cotonniers used to be — a downgrade, in my opinion.) But: Is Polene cheaper in Paris? Let’s do some math! First, of course, we need to....
I remember, extremely clearly so I cannot gaslight myself on this, going to Franglish and being told that there was no easier way to spot a Russian tourist in Paris than leopard print. And yet. And yet! Leopard print is all over the city this season, to the extent that....
The new collection d’hiver from Sézane came out this morning, and these are my very coat-heavy selections. Disappointed in: the dresses and blouses (only one of which, from the two categories, is below) — but the coats! The coats. Divine. 1. Armando coat in rust blue check I literally stopped....
Ba&sh is a great French brand, even if it’s annoying to type and too expensive. I do have a solid fix for the second issue, even if there’s no addressing the first: Ba&sh Second/e Main, used Ba&sh pieces that have been authenticated, thoroughly cleaned and repaired, and re-presented for sale....
The Sézane outlet! Now open on at 12 rue d’Uzès, in the second arrondissement, around the corner from the Conciergerie and the main store on rue St-Fiacre — this is the official Sezane outlet, offering substantial discounts on pieces from older collections. Here’s the scoop on the shop — officially....
Our Diptyque Feu de Bois Diptyque review: A+. Buy it here. Feu de Bois is the best of all the Diptyque candles, and it is the best-ever fall luxury candle. Forget the pumpkin spice latte candles, the pumpkin pie candles, the sweater-weather super-comfy candles: They always get it slightly wrong....
I recently entered a season of life focused on lists of French fashion essentials — and I did not always like what I saw. I have seen more trench coats on these lists than on the streets of Paris. I don’t think that many people are walking around Paris in....
I think it might be! I pass Plaisir Palace on my way to and from the gym, and it is perfection. I have never seen such a large collection of A+-condition Corrèges sweater tops, nor Valentino dresses, nor Saint Laurent skirts. The shop itself is pristine. There are a zillion....
I really like Simone Perele, which sits between the rah-rah ease of Princesse Tam Tam and the pricy luxury of Eres. Enter Simone Perele, founded in 1948 by the Mlle herself, following the receipt of her diploma in corsetry making. She handled the design work, her husband Wolf took care....
