Mark your calendars: Isabel at H&M

Mark your calendars, ladies (I know I have!)- November 14th is the date of the launch of the Isabel Marant for H&M collection.  Mademoiselle Marant has had a cult-status following for years now in Paris, and many a New Yorker has scoured the Paris shops for larger collections of merchandise.  And now, as H&M does so well, some of the stylish Parisian looks can be yours for less.  On your marks.....

Love locks rock!

If you are a Paris lover, you've undoubtedly heard of the Love Locks tradition that has taken over the Pont des Arts.  And if you haven't- well, have a look if you are in town!  It is an impressive sight, especially if the sun is reflecting off the locks.  [And never mind if you've forgotten your own lock- plenty of enterprising salesmen on the bridge will help you out.]

We've also been spotting Love Lock themed cadeaux around town.  Check out the adorable pendant by Tournaire.  What a lovely souvenir!

And for the funky fashionistas out there- there is even a shirt printed with the locks!

& Other Stories

A few snaps of a recent trip to & Other Stories, the glam big sister of H&M, on rue St. Honore.  Interesting, architectural fashion and amazing jewelry- great stuff to take back home as it is not yet available stateside.
