ca c'est quelle taille?

today ...  a miracle happened. 

out with my mom, we discovered (and pillaged ) a repetto sample sale. they had the classic bb ballet flat (name after french actress/style icon brigitte bardot), heels, mary-janes etc. all for $50 !!  ( they normally are sold for $180 - $350 ) it was quite a whirlwind and i got my self into a bit of a tizzy, but walking out the door with 10 pairs under my arms was well worth the french shoe induced frenzy. 

a very happy birthday to me.

"scents" of style

on tuesday i decided to treat myself to a bit of pre-birthday shopping. 

i started off at the apple store, where i purchased a new iPhone and a lovely coral colored case for it. 

from there, i walked to Greenwich Letterpress, where i picked up (another) MmMg 'Past Present Future' day planner. i chose the larger size, in anticipation of writing all of my spring semester class assignments etc in it. 

my final purchase of the day was at Aedes de Venustas. it was too cold out to walk to L'Artisan Perfumeur's Thompson Street store, so i tracked down this little shop. among other brands, A de V  sells the complete line L'Artisan eau de toilette as well as their lotions and candles. located at 9 Christopher St ( right off of Greenwich Ave) this shop is a hidden gem and i'm quite pleased to have found. 

what did i get there? a fresh new bottle of my scent Poivre Piquant by L'Artisan. I was also given a couple of sample vials of other scents. 

there's nothing better than a new shop discovery...
