chez Vanessa Bruno

this is what the office and workshop of Vanessa Bruno looks like , its huge ! offices are on top , the collection presentation is in the center and both left and right ,and the models are built up in the bottom of the building.
when you come to make an order there is always a cook to make you some fresh food and after you finish with your meal and coffe they start a mini show where you see all the collection on models , its only then that you can start putting down an order , the whole things last for four hours !
tomorrow i will put here some of my favorite ones .. now its night time for me :)

a bag full of it !






i was walking in the Marais were it has flourished with many new cool shop when i saw this explosion of colors ... imagine , i could put my hands in those bags down to my elbows ..mhhh



a wall at the Merci cafe

book tower and..
at the merci cafe you can enjoy your daily cup few meters away from that wall of books , it is so cosy as you can pick up any of them and read a bit .

a pile of boxes.

the bar decoration at the accessoire fair , a pile of white box and black ribbons . who wouldn´t feel like opening one of those ?

Mon Chanel

I went to Ludo but he did not had any Chanel bags i fell for , so i went a little further in the jardins du palais Royal and there was my bag chez gabrielle Geppert ( www.gabriellegeppert.com) , she had a lot of very fancy models but my hearth went for this little beige and gold model , it was owned by an old lady for many years and it was all i wished for, gabrielle had a lot of beautifull things in her shop , some marvelous pieces from Louis Vuiton witch i know were produced in very small quantity , some great jewels from Hermes and many many more treasures .

jardin du palais royal

anyone who wants a second hand Chanel bag witch is a certified one, knows that you can go safely to Didier Ludo in the jardin du palais royal , monsieur Ludo has wrotte a book about the little black dress and is a renown fashion person in Paris, so there i went ..

my life before chanel


As we sat with my best friend to see the movie, Before Chanel , she turned to me and asked : how often do you dream of owning a Chanel bag ? - i answered quickly : everyday !
she laughed and said me too !
so there i went to Chanel , rue Cambon on the day after The Chanel fashion show ; to be very honest it felt like there was a lot of woman in that street wishing to enter the shop so i gathered my strengh and passed the entrance door and the huge bodygard and inside the Chanel temple i was .
once i was inside i stayed ! i studied each models and over-heard some crazy stories ,like this one woman who was obviously very known by the sellers and told that the last bunch of bags she had bought was for a friend that lost them all before she even had time to unpack them !
there was no way i could afford any of the models in the shop so i went on a hunt for the perfect second hand Chanel bag .

paris la nuit


i was running around a lot today and suddenly the night came and with it the sweetness of the paris life when it is still over 20 degrees and most people eat outdoor ..mhhh lovely ...
tomorrow i will show you my private shopping of the day , lots of funny things , maybe not what you expect !


i will show you later all the pieces from Phillip Lim , but for now i have to let you know were i went next , to merci ( thank you in french :)



Merci is the talk of the day in Paris , its a concept store made by the Bonpoint familly and the idea behind is to ask designers to give some vintage pieces for free and some personnal belongings to Merci who sell them and give all the profits to a caritative organisation .
its a clothes shop , a cafe , a parfumery , a jewel shop , bref a bit of everything and its placed 111 rue du beaumarchais in the 3rd quater . its really a must see .



more more !

As soon as i arrive at Phillip Lim showroom i am ended a bottle of water , coffe and then come the cruel job of mine , picking up among beautifull things some pieces , its hard because i want everything , each piece is more beautifull than the next , and it pure torture to have to let go some of them but this one we will have - i choose to ignore the price , we must have some piece of dream -
