Paris Boots Forever

So it's April 30th PBers. Like Summer and all Parisians are still wearing BOOTS!?

What's up with that? It's in the 50's and sunnyish so why all the boots Parisians?

U

If you just arrived in Paris and didn't bring your boots, turn around and go home. Get em!

I mean it. Parisians are dead-seriously dedicated to their boots.

Boots with tights. Boots under jeans. Over jeans. You name it.

Look! Galeries Lafayette wants you to buy Summer boots aerated with tiny holes.  Bet that makes them super cool..

I asked this woman if I could shoot her Fab boots. No problem.

I asked this Galeries Lafayette sales girl if I could shoot her bleu suede shoes?

She asked "why?"

I said, "Oh, you know... I have a blog..

I'm an American...I'm crazy".

Finally she agreed ;))

Uggs in April in Paris!??? Who knew?

 

Honestly fur-lined high suede boots? Come on

So what are Parisian girls gonna wear when the temperature rises besides skate boards?

These?

Or these?

I'm holding my breath. It could be Boots. Qui sait?

Ooopla This girl was wearing boots - check

But slurping her Starbucks on the Metro

A Big no-no. Definitely an outta-towner

When in Rome PBers...

Buon Giorno Venezia

 Bear is back from Venezia today and wants to share his adventuras with you!BEAR adoro San Marco. What's not to love?

And Italian gelato! Absolutemente perfecto! Ahhhh pistache Bronte... BEAR, being French (permesso Parisien) has expensive tastes.

So we go to Caffe Florian.

Perfecto!

BEAR is crazy for Italian fashion.

The 'wrinkled look' is perfect for the traveler.

Non e vero?

SUPER PERFETO!

:)

BEAR spots his first Venetian dog...

On the vaporetto #1 Bear spots his first true Venetian...

You can tell by the complicated boots.

Venezia te adoro!

BUON GIORNO VENEZIA!

Hatless in Paris

It's one of my observations that Parisien women don't wear hats no matter how frigid the weather (Feels like: 16°F)
Warm puffy coat, snazzy studded bag. ✅
Cosy furry boots. ✅ 
But hatless.
Giant posters of Kate Moss with supremely messy bedhead, advertising her new bag line for Longchamps is not helping.
Even my pictures have a blue cast, it's that cold 🥶 

Big puffy coat up over the ears - hair sticking out exposed to the elements.

Lots of exposed ponytails in Paris.

Another one. Both mother and child are hatless. Men too.

Me, I am wearing a hat 🧢 It's glued to my head.

I'm American so I can get away with murder.

Meanwhile shop windows are full of hats like these big blue cabbages 🥬 on top of the manequins...

At Sonia Rykiel's - a simple Kelley green plastic disk is popped on top.

More delicious disks at Gerard Mulot - tarte citron & tarte l'orange.

Why not add a touch of red to your bedhead?

Or go for the Carmen Miranda effect - totalmente fruity.

BONJOUR HATLESS PARISIENS!
