…so one thing seems to be quite clear : the favourites of this season are clearly shoes made out of wood as the clog-trend shows. But it’s not only clogs that are walking around in Paris but wood platform sandals as well ! I’ve got to admit that in the beginning it was not that easy to walk on them for they are not elastic at all – but since I figured out how to deal with them I hardly want to wear anything else than those pair of shoes ! read more…

One of the places I like most in Paris is definitely the ‘quartier Oberkampf’ in the east of the city. There are a lot of stylish little bars, clubs and theatres and at no other place you will find that much creative young people like you do there. Of course you’ll find at Oberkampf also a lot of really talented young musicians who are playing for free in a lot of clubs – like for example last week in ‘The International’. read more…

Yesterday, there was a big event taking place in Paris – the famous ‘Fête de la Musique’  which exists already for 29 years. Everywhere all over the city there were musicians and bands playing different styles of music – from dj’s with house and electro to bands, playing alternative, latino, pop or typical French music.

All night long ! read more…

At the end of may I went to the concert I was waiting for with a lot of impatience – Snow Patrol was supposed to play in the famous concert hall ‘Olympia’ in the center of Paris.

Ok, Snow Patrol isn’t really a French thing since it’s a typical British band but nevertheless they have a huge fan crowd in France, as I recognized during the event. read more…

So as I posted last time, this summer is going to be colourful – even in Paris, the capital of clean chic !

But wandering around the city you don’t only see flowers-girls – you also see a lot of ethno-hippy-girls. read more…

It seems like now that it is really really warm in Paris, every mademoiselle wants to be a little flower-girl ! Wherever you cross the boulevards and avenues, you see a lot of flowers on jumpsuits, shirts, bags and even on trousers – I really like this trend because it’s a big contrast to the clean Paris-chic of autumn and winter when you saw rarely anything else than black and grey ! read more…

In a city like Paris there are a lot of places to go if it comes to the week end – you can find nearly everywhere a stylish bar in the whole city. Unfortunately most of the bars are closing at 2 a.m. so if you want to have a so called ‘nuit blanche’, what means party all night long you have to find some other place. read more…

I really appreciate living in a big city like Paris. You get a lot of inspiration when you enter the streets because you see so many stylish people outside. But all in all mostly the Paris’ style includes something elegant and it’s never too freaky or colourful – black and nude colours dominate even in the summer. read more…
