I’ll be your mirror

A few days from now, I’ll be a personal shopper. The Printemps, a famous department store in Paris, invited me to be their personal shopper for a day. Immediately, I said yes. It’s the kind of job I’ve always dreamt of.

Garance : Okay, so Mélinda, tell me… You are one of the best dressed women I know. You ALWAYS know where to get the best finds in Paris… Where the hell can you find those damned studded Chloé boots from last year? WHERE!?!!? I’m desperate. Two mojitos, please. 

Mélinda : Oh you just shutup. This topic is off limits. I DON’T KNOW. I was doing a little of my own detective work to find them. BUT I CAN’T FIND THEM ANYWHERE.

Cover me

Tennessee, the amazing drummer from the band, The Like

It looks like we’re all going to want fantasy tights this winter. Even Carine Roitfeld! She said so in the video that came with last month’s Paris Vogue. Yes, even her, who would rather freeze than cover her legs suddenly has a pressing need for a pair of plumetis spotty tights.

So we probably won’t be seeing her any time soon in tights with big hearts on ‘em, but I love people who are opened to changing their mind! Off we go, I gotta run! Bonne journée!
