So yes, a few of you pointed out Altamira’s pic of me (finally got to meet the guy!) and yes, I am here in Paris for fashion week and yes, I am doing the whole hog. What with Gareth Pugh’s show being on the first day and Miu Miu and Lanvin on the last, there are crucial consequences here…a) I’m going to be missing episodes of The Restaurant on the BBC and b) I had to lug a quarter of my wardrobe here because staying for nine days in Paris during fashion week and NOT having everything at my disposal frankly scares the bejesus out of me…
I will be checking in on the blog as often as I can but everyday will be pretty jampacked with a combination of mass image editing/uploading, tradeshows, appointments and of course the shows…what shows… I don’t even know as invitations are being delivered as each day comes it seems… there’s some good uns’ coming up though…
I’ve enlisted Tommy of Jak and Jil to be my unofficial outfit photographer because a) the boyf is at home pondering why Arsenal lost to Hull and b) my hotel room is so titch that a tripod would not have been any use and frankly c) if I can’t labour over posts each day then a lazy outfit post will have to do…. so apologies in advance…. at least the backgrounds of the pics are nice though, eh?
Boudicca white pleated dress, Robert Cary Williams dusky pink zipper dress, American Apparel black leggings, Bronx cut-out shoes, Outsapop’s zipper collar
did your boyfriend stay home because of arsenal? gasp! but… i can understand. haha! you must be terribly busy. hope to read up on a lot of your reviews!!
Good luck in Paris.
Can’t wait to read your post especially about the Lanvin show, which I am dying to see.
Oh, and as a fellow Arsenal fan, I share your boyfriend pain.
hey susie, have a great stay and looking forward to your posts. oh, and can’t wait to see your outfits…xo
Yo Susie, as I wrote earlier, I absolutely LOVE that outfit! You look absolutely smashing! I am seriously lemming that zipper necklace too, love love love!
Well done on the outfit, you look perfectly Parisienne Susie!
I can’t wait to see what you show you, so lucky to be there in person.

Wow I’m so jealous, have fun in Paris!
Suzy you look great!
you do neutrals so well! paris… ah, i’m glad you’re there!
That dress looks so tactile. Like you could float away on a silken breeze. And the pleats on the white dress are perfection, they have such a Georgian quality to them.
indeed. I love your necklace is that a part of your dress or just a necklace? Cool I wonder if you met a guy.. named ‘mr. style’ at the Gareth Pugh show. he is a blogger as well. he just posted this today. http://wherethelightsend.blogspot.com/2008/09/u-cheated-on-me-why-do-u-act-like-that.html
anyway.. enjoy the shows~ wish I was there as well. dang. 🙂
I have been a lurker of your for nearly a year, I love this blog
I just wanted to say you’ve outdone yourself with this outfit – color palette, zipper joy, but mostly that collar. Celebrities should be taking tips from you.
you look great!!
really like the layering of the two dresses, especially with those shoes.
This combo is really cool. All the elements work perfectly together.
Very cool outfit and photos. I hope you’re having fun in Paris!
have fun, susie! make sure to take tons of pictures for us people trapped in not-paris this week (seriously, of anything– city, other street fashion, shows)
What a great outfit! Can’t wait to see your looks for the rest of the week. Hope you left room in your luggage for possible purchases!
cool outfit….very chic!!!
Craig of Altamira is a very nice guy, he always wanted to photograph you ^_^
Wow, a whole 9 days? Hope you manage to squeeze in time for a tasty macaroon or two! Lovely photos!
Fab pics and I’m with you on the take the wardrobe to Paris – how stressful and how you need it all!

Cool shoes.
I do agree that that is rather scary not having all your clothes with you especiaLLy during something most crucial like Paris Fashion Week!
sounds hectic! have fun in paris! the city of luuuurve. that sentence is irrelevant but meh.
So cool outfit! Even a bit Charles Anastase. Is paris already influencing you?

your mastery of proportion and the right amount of layering is fabulous! and I LOOOOOOVE that zipper collar.
