FASHION WEEK, C’EST CHIC!
In preparation for Paris Fashion Week, we enlisted StyleStoryboard.com editor Jordan Porter to take us through all her fashionable favourites from the City of Lights. Merci, Ms. Porter!
Hermès, Chanel, Lanvin oh my! Paris Fashion Week starts September 28th and I’m already dreaming of the perfect, Carine-worthy look to wear, shopping Stella and YSL for a cause (all profits from this chic boutique go to charity) at Merci, rubbing shoulders with Karl at Cafe de Flore and dining next to Marc Jacobs at the beautiful Christian Liagre designed La Societe Restaurant (another hot spot from the owners of Hotel Costes), sipping cocktails among the fashion eds at the quirky and oh-so Parisian Derriere, and taking in the views of Sacre Coeur from my gorgeous suite at Hotel Le Particulier. Am I going to Paris Fashion Week? Nope, but I’ve got a seriously chic imagination.
