My friend Chloe recently cleared her closet and gave me this stunning Balenciaga jacket, actually part of a suit (with friends like that, who needs stylists....). Its lines are very simple, the fabric is exquisitely warm and thin, and I adore the collar.The weather has indeed become pretty cold in Paris, around 60 degrees F (16 degrees Celsius) during the afternoon... Brrrrr... To tell you the truth I have caught a kind of flu and am in bed with lots of tea, honey, and vitamin C.
The girls of Paris too have started wearing tights and jackets (a lot of velvet around!), as well as boots, and I thought I'd share with you the amazing look of this red-loving gal, whom I spied on the subway yesterday...

J'aurais certainement photographié la demoiselle aussi. La veste a l'air très belle. Repose toi bien et prompt rétablissement.

I love the high collar neck...Jil Sander Fall/winter is so-so amazing with that look...($$$etchink! hee!!)
Hope to hear more from you!

Necesito una Chloe en mi vida,Ja ja!!!
Espero que te mejores pronto.
Me quede pensando en tu post de ayer, porque yo me sentí como una extraterrestre pero venia del mismo lugar que mis compañeros,igual era distinta, y no encajaba, era la única que leía y pensaba distinto al resto,me vestía diferente y aun tratando de parecerme no me parecía, la escuela me ahogaba,mis compañeros me asfixiaban con sus mentes estrechas todos tan pre juiciosos.
El ultimo año me cambie a la noche a un colegio de adultos, pase del privado a la nocturna, fue muy divertido y aprendi mas que en el privado, en ambos habia buenos profesores pero las clases fluian mas en la escuela nocturna, y ahi todos eramos extraterrestres todos distintos, con historias diferentes,uy que comentario tan largo..
besos
oh you lucky thing! That coat is stunning. And I love the mystery red girl.
I've given your blog an award - see my latest post :)
stay cozy inside yourself; i hear it will frost in Boston tonight, almost. :)
What will you read? hmm.
I adore that collar, too...
Thank you for visiting my blog the other day, I appreciate it!
Your blog is quite lovely and I really hope you feel better soon!
Those boots make me want some as well!
I love your grey flannel jacket - the other girl in the picture has style too!
Such simple elegance. The rest of the world could learn so much from you French ladies.
Nice friend, eh?
Oh, sorry, and get well soon.
If you caught cold i have here some secrets for you:
- Aconite 5ch or 9 ch
- During very cold winter time: Echinacea
And the real miracle is this:

It's working like a natural antibiotic. Put 30 drops, in the water and you will fight the cold.
it has been chilly! ive gotten out my tights, and am looking for some boots :)
MISS GLITZY - comme toi, je commence a oser prendre des photos des gens!
LENORENEVERMORE - yes, it totally reminded me of Sander's sleek and gray silhouettes, which I loved this season.
KARINA - que suerte que pudiste cambiar de liceo, yo ni sabia que existian liceos nocturnos asi.
Pienso que cuando una es sensible, y cuando le gusta leer a uno, y tener su personalidad propria, es muy dificil caber en una escuela "normal"...
HILA - aaaawwwww, thank you Hila! Coming from such a super-smart gal as you, and coming from so far away, it means a lot to me, really.
MANSUETUDE - what am I reading... I'll feature the book I'm delighting in in a few days, you'll see!
And you, my dear, what are you reading?
CHLOE - merci ma punkie, tu as toujours les meilleures recettes. J'espere que tu aimes ta veste sur moi...?
MARIE - boots? oh not YET, please!
My god, she knows how to dress, and know how about natural cures,She is fantastic, and I need a Chloe in my life for sure.
ok...and i have decided that chloé can be my friend too....especially when it comes to closet-clearing time.:) gorgeous jacket...just gorgeous....and it seems so flattering with your do...
and i think i might start wearing tights today...it is around 8c now...and i could blow some smoke in the air about 30 minutes ago....l'hiver est proche!!!

Beautiful jacket & lovely friend you got! I'm sipping hot Rooibos here, too (having a flu). Let's get well soon!
I love dressing for cold weather, but I live in the wrong climate for such things! Your new jacket is lovely. :)

STARDUST - I see the flu extends from Finland to France...
MELANCHOLYSMILE - oh but I for my part ENVY you for living in a warm place. The cold makes me sad and anxious.

the most wonderful friend you have! this is beautiful...I love the tights too.
Oh yummy. I love a grey coat (I have one too) and that collar is awesome! Glad to hear that fall has arrived. That's my favorite season.
Oh lucky you for having such generous & stylish friends! It's a fab coat! I hope you're feeling better now. Take care!
i love this post. that coat. and that photo of the woman wearing red. all so lovely...
I am mighty jealous, I need a generous friend like that!
love the girl in red! but is it chilly there yet? i am packing for october..raincoat, light sweater, jeans...is it right?
BONBON OISEAU - yes, it's already quite cold... Many people are already wearing tights, boots and winter coats. Make sure to pack plenty of warm clothes...
And contact me when you're in town, we could get together!
I love the style of the girl in red! quite british.
the last time i was in paris was in the fall - such a great time to go! i don't mind being cold, it's easier to walk around all day when it's cool versus when it's hot!
i love that jacket, the collar is great!
