NYC –> Paris | SS13

Over the past month we’ve been busy planning our (yours + ours) spring wardrobes! We took a quick trip to New York followed by and even quicker stop to Paris. We always look forward to buying the Spring/Summer collections and we must say that the 2013 collections may be our favorites to date! Here’s a little peek into our travels. Hope you enjoy!

1. “The City Of Dreams” – NYC

From our quaint LES apartment! Loved staying in this neighborhood.

Perfect start to the day – dream breakfast: Eggs, avocado, stewed tomatoes + basil, and some peaches + cream. Thank you, Dudley’s.

The beautiful Helmut Lang showroom rivals the Helmut Lang clothing!

10 Crosby Derek Lam never disappoints(Big FW12 delivery coming in next week)

More than hot weather, lakes, & BBQs, Raquel Allegra makes us pine for Spring/Summer like nothing else.

Quite possibly one of our favorite meals – ever. Sasabune Omakase is a MUST. We were obsessing over the food too much to take a photo. Go now.

We knew we loved Dannijo but we fell in love even more when browsing through their showroom. Truly amazing.

2. “The City of Lights” – Paris

Our view for the week from our great little pad in the fabulous Marais district. Loved this neighborhood.

First things first, Ignore the jet lag and head to the Sophie Hulme SS13 presentation + cocktail party. A great first night.

Our first time seeing the beloved Carven in it’s Motherland, Paris! Fabulous.(Click the image to see a little interview featuring Carven designer Guillaume Henry + Garance Dore)

Garden Courtyard Oasis at Zero + Maria Cornejo (ALL of the appointments were in such beautiful settings – such a contrast to the high-rises of NYC)

 We ate in Paris too – but forgot to take photos (next time ;))

Aux Deux Amis (on Oberkampf) – a great random find ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the trip. Can’t wait to go back.

There isn’t enough room to post everything so see some of our favorite collections coming for Spring (luckily we only have to wait 3 more months until these collections start rolling in). Here are the highlights :
