photo by the Cherry Blossom Girl

Oh lala, another Fashion Blogger Top 10!

And today its all about my Favorite French Bloggers! and yes! Most of them are from Paris (and what's not to love about Paris!)

Best would be if you "parle francais" but if you ~like me~ don't, you will be fine as well because luckily for us the French are amongst the best in capturing the most lush images in the blogsphere so even when not able to read, the photos are often enough to dream away! 

Check out Today's Top 10 Fashion Bloggers ~ The French ~

New York through Instagram

With only so little time I still managed to take some snaps!

I arrived Thursday early evening (staying at Hotel Six Columbus @ Columbus Circle) and went that same evening downtown to the meatpacking district to ProfeshStyle's Birthday Bash hosted by Socialyte and Otrera! I was a bit tired yes haha but it was amazing to see everyone!

Friday morning I spent time with the Manhattan Cosmetics Contest winners and shopped till dropped! The rest of the day I happily hanged out with Nadia, Claire, Bonnie and Natalie for a rooftop event at Le Bain (Steve Madden Mag Launch) and eating slices of pizza on the High-line, So good!


And yes, Saturday became a whole day shopping spree only to leave back to the Netherlands early Sunday afternoon (def too soon!)

New York Shopping ~ Part 2

More of my Shopping Haul!

Normally when in New York, I always shop around Williamsburg Brooklyn (vintage), the East Village (more vintage and consignment), Nolita and Soho and not so much in the whole 5th avenue area but this time I actually spend time nosing around the avenues of the riches!

I went to Henri Bendel where I bought the freeze 24/7 products (yes! skincare!) I had used these products before (when still living in new York) and although it promises to reduce your wrinkles, it does something else! It actually really reduces blemishes, really! On me that is! and the cleanser which is also a facial mask is just heavenly! Plus these products are really good for overly sensitive skin!  

I have to say that I was kind of annoyed by the sales-people at Bendel! They were so pushy that it actually became kind of rude and It was almost hard to get out of the store (they seemed to really want to make sure you would empty out your bank account right then and there)

The Columbus Circle Sephora is nice and less crowded then the Soho store which might be a nice change! I bought Bobbi Brown concealer and Bare Essentials foundation.

The shoes are from Zara! (5th ave, 52nd street) I really liked this Zara (yes, all Zara's in New York seem to be very different) I bought the cream/powder floaty pants there as well!

Ahhh and the rest of the soft tones and creamy whites on the rack! I guess I have to show them properly in outfit posts!

New York Shopping ~ Part 1

 

1st part of my New York Shopping haul! I was so lucky that I was not only flown into New York City by Manhattan Cosmetics and Joy Magazine to host 2 lucky contest winners on a personal shopping spree but I got a shopping budget myself as well ^_^ Oh boy Oh boy!

I already felt so spoiled by staying in a lush Hotel so the Shopping Spree was as icing on the cake!

As you can imagine I went like quite the tornado through Manhattan to visit all my favorite stores in 2 days!

On my way to Chinatown for the Bunny Iphone case I passed the Aldo store where I saw these lace espadrilles in the Window! Not quite the Valentino ones but close enough for $45! Another close fit would be the see-through lace espadrilles from Jeffrey Campbell (at shopbop and freepeople) but those are more of a natural-yellow collor and not as white!

And then back up on Broadway making stops at TopShop and a few other stores before going to Urban Outfitters where I found the Daisy Sunglasses and the ~OMG~ Shark duffle bag! Maybe "Jaws" needs some sequin pimpin' but even without the pimpin' it's one of my favorite new pets!
