My Lunch Place Closed!!

Remember that great place where I had this salad during the Summer and Fall?

It closed!

I am so disappointed.

I just bet La Walmart is somehow connected with pushing this lunch place out.

I just wish the French were not so progressive and always throwing aside what is old in favor of what is new and shiny.

I cannot wait to get back to New York where we protect our cherished institutions.

For instance, the sun tanning place on my block has been there for over three years!

We New Yorkers know how to treat our small business owners with respect!

On the Street.......Palais Royal, Paris

In the past I have had a hard time finding great menswear style in Paris but maybe I was just looking in the wrong places.

I have been really inspired by the gentleman I found the last three days - I'm hitting my Paris groove.

Parka on Heels

I love a girl that can wear a parka with heels and mean it.

Dries Van Noten

So what did you think of Dries?
For me it begins and ends with his collection in Paris.
When looking at the photos on Style.com give each look an extra three points because the colors are even more perfect in person.
He is the one designer that can do a long show (60 something looks) and not have it seem repetitive because each look is its own study of color, shape and texture.

Also ,if you get a chance, take a look at the portraits (with the black background) that I did at the Dries show on Style.com.
They were very difficult to shoot but they turned out very good I think.
the shoe are the softess, pale lilac color that is so perfect with those shades of grey.
