parisian street style.

When we were in Paris, I felt compelled to capture the absolutely effortless style of Parisian women. I may not be Vanessa Jackman or Bill Cunningham, but I did my best. It's a good thing I took a candid photography class at RISD to overcome the fear of random acts of photography. {cv} called me a stalker--and I'll admit that I felt a little like one. These photos aren't perfect, but they'll help me remember our Parisian adventure. Enjoy!

Chambray and cobalt blue. Need I say more?

Glittery Oxfords and hairbows on Rue Rivoli. 

Golden {from head to toe} down the street from Chanel. {I wish I hadn't taken this in motion. sigh.}

Black + Grey + Orange--without feeling even a bit Halloween-ish.

A bold print paired with neutral accessories--and yet another pair of Oxfords.

A quintessentially French ensemble. {I only wish that daggone van wasn't in the background.}

Sigh. Can we just go back now? I was absolutely inspired to polish my look after our visit, even when I'm just running errands. I also really want to try Oxfords, but I haven't made the leap just yet ;) There are a few more where these came from--and I'll share them with you next week! Have a fantastic Thursday and I'll see you all for some Labor Day Friday's Fancies at midnight...

P.S. An enormous thank you to those who entered my J.Crew giveaway. I was absolutely overwhelmed with your enthusiasm! Miss Allison {from In the Queen City} was the lucky lady this time--and I only wish all of you could win for everything you've given me. I hope you'll stick around {long distance loving}, even when I'm not giving away giftcards to everyone's favorite retailer ;)
