Early Mornings in Paris.

Alright alright, we’ve reached the end of the Paris outfit posts! Are you sick of them yet? I mean, I hope not… you kinda have to be a monster to hate on Paris, right?!ย I still have London and Ireland to tell you about though so that will be fun.

I shot this photo at the cutest little cafe with Hana. Hana was one of those people I just loved immediately and knew we’d work well together. If you are in Paris and looking for a photographer, she’s just wonderful!!! I also feel compelled to tell you that the latte and croissant were not props. I ate the croissant and actually had two lattes (the jet lag was still going strong, even after being in Europe a full week). I’m wearing my DIY earrings (seriously so easy to make), my favorite sweater in the world (now 40% off!) and the comfiest loafers. The perfect outfit for a day of site-seeing and shopping with Briony.

I hope you guys had a good weekend. Mine was fun. I got caught up on work (hooray), got to the gym (I finally broke down and re-joined Equinox as they opened up a new one down the street from me), went to a secret concert with Sofar Sounds, saw some somer cool art at Scope in Chelsea and had the most fun at my friend’s 40th birthday. It was a Gaultier/80’s theme and yessss, as you may have seen on my instagram story I wore this amazing costume and loved every.single.minute of it.

Outfit Details: J.Crew Chateau Parka // Free People All Mine Sweater (also here) // Rag & Bone Jeansย  // DIY Earrings // Everlane Loafers c/o // Hermes Bangles

Look for Less: Coat // Sweater // Jeans // Loafers // Bangles

Were you wondering about my Hermes enamel bangles? No? I’ll tell you anyway. I’ve been collecting them for a while. By collecting, I mean that I have three. I like to buy them when I travel. I bought the first one six years ago in Paris, the second three years ago in Barcelona, and then my little orange H bangle I bought in New York which was cheating but I really wanted it. I love how classic they are, and how I can just throw them on with a neutral outfit to add a little bit of color. I also love that they’re sized. I am by no means a tiny person, but I do have tiny wrists, so most bangles slide right off my hands… the smallest size is perfect on me.

    How do you like the Everlane loafers? Did you have to go up half a size? I’ve been eyeing these, they look cute on you!

      I love them! Definitely go up half a size though — I’m usually an 8.5 and the 9s are snug. The more I wear them though, the more comfy they get!! xo

    OMG, I’m a monster!!! For whatever reason, I don’t have a desire to go to Paris (at the moment). Maybe it’s because I have other places on the top of my travel list…but ahhhhh ๐Ÿ˜‰

    PS: LOVE the Hermes and those earrings are SO cool, can’t believe you made them!

      HA you aren’t a monster! I think Paris is a bit overrated if we are being totally honest, but I still love it. It’s fun alternating between cities I know and love (like London and Paris) and somewhere new like Copenhagen.

    Okay, you look so pretty in these pics! How on earth did you DIY your earrings?! they look amazing! I think you should start an Etsy shop, girl!
    I love that you actually ate the croissant and had two lattes. #realtalk loving your pictures from abroad because I did the exact same trip during my summer abroad during college! ๐Ÿ™‚
