Paris Street Style...Blue Dayz

I shot this fairly early on a Saturday morning in Paris as this girl and her boyfriend were out strolling and shopping. I really like the little white leather lace-up's she is wearing with her leggings and oversized shirt-I guess, predictably, I would have teamed the outfit with some sneakers...but the flat menswear-influenced lace-up's works so much better right now.

p.s. About 3 secs after I took this shot, her very cute Chow Chow pup (you know the very fluffy dogs with the purple-black tongue) started to howl and we all burst into laughter. I think she (her name was either Coco or Cleo, I think) was protesting at my Zoolander-ish photographic efforts :)

  1. this shot is very inspirational, i'm looking for some interesting ways to wear leggings (not as pants, but as additions to an outfit) and this is perfect... Now i just have to look for a great shirtdress haha. i love how her sunglasses match her dress too.

  2. Thanks hrose :) I think the thing that astounds me about French women is that even on a weekend morning (after possibly a late night out) they consistently just pull a look together and it WORKS- they manage to look fresh and chic and so "together". And don't even get me started on heels. Seriously. I have watched and studied them and am still AMAZED at how they walk so effortlessly in sky-high heels around Paris!

  3. Stunning lady with effortless poise but a pity you didn't get one of Coco too, she is so cute!

  4. Hey Anon! I know! I am an idiot- I only thought afterwards that I should have got a shot of Coco (thank you for the name clarification!)- it would have been very sweet to have both of them together :)
