I’ve finished packing up my room here at the Bristol, and I’m off to St. Tropez for my annual summer holiday. It’s been a wonderful few weeks in Paris! I hope you enjoyed my Haute Couture Fall 2009 show reviews, my Chic in Paris shopping reports and my personal updates via twitter.
You’ve read about my visits to René Caovilla, Lydia Courteille, Colette and Azzedine Alaïa — now watch the video! Click above to see highlights from my Chic in Paris shopping adventures over the past week.
Colette is known the world-over for carrying the best that fashion has to offer. It’s a well-edited mix of luxury, street-style, design, art and beauty products that is constantly changing.
There are many jewelry companies I admire — Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier are all superb. But if you are seeking something extraordinary — something totally unique and wildly spectacular — then there is only Lydia Courteille. Just as I make sure to visit René Caovilla for shoes here in Paris, I never miss an opportunity to stop by Lydia Courteille for jewelry. Except that Lydia has only one location worldwide, on a quiet stretch of rue Saint-Honoré, making her hand-crafted, limited edition products all the more rarefied.
The past few days, I’ve enjoyed shopping the streets of Paris. I love seeing the clever window displays, browsing my favorite stores and discovering what’s new around the city. One stop I always look forward to is René Caovilla.
