Friday Friday...you are here. I am excited for a quick trip to New York next
week and some crisp, Fall air. Kind of bummed I missed the Matisse show at
the MOMA, but sigh. I'll take what I can get. Didn't want you to think I'd leave out les hommes when talking about Paris.
Paris boys are adorable with simply the greatest bedheaded hair I have ever
seen. I did see some hipster types, but not nearly as Erkeled out as here in
the States (a look whose appeal is lost on me). French guys know how to
dress, infusing a bit of the rock and roll sexy in their swagger. Sure there
are those much more dandified in say, a pinstriped suit with a great scarf
combo kind of way as they whiz around the Arc De Triomphe, but I found a
shop I really loved while I was out on a marathon shopping session around
the St. Germain that had a bit more of an edge and street vibe. (Note to the
ladies: the genius of Paris is the ability to plop said husband in a café
while you shop or at least try to. He loved watching the people and drinking
coffee and wine while I frantically tried to find things that either fit or
were in my budget). Without further adieu, I give you a store called "Eleven". There are a few
branches in the city, but the one I checked out was in the 6th. There's some
pieces for girls too, but the menswear is cooler and has the above mentioned
rock and roll goodness mixed with a streetwear vibe. Great tee shirts and
button downs and some very lovely sweaters, all at prices that are not heart
attack worthy. A great spot for hip French basics. If you are in Paris and you are looking for cool men's stuff, this shop is
super cute, as are all the peeps that work there. In other words, it's
typically Parisian. Link below to check for yourself if a trip to the pretty
city is not on your dance card in the near future: http://elevenparis.com/ Cause that's what's en l'air this cute Friday in the MIA. Have a great
weekend you sexy things. A bientot. XO
