I hope everyone in NYC is reveling in NYFW and all its glory! Over across the pond en France, "soldes" has captured the country. I had no idea that sales in Europe were so tightly regulated! They only happen twice a year, and during those times, the stores become utter mayhem. But not without cause :) </span><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I've ventured to Galleries Lafayette, Printemps, and finally this past weekend, Le Bon Marché. I can't tell you how much I despise shopping at Galleries Lafayette. It's a crush of humanity-- imagine Macy's and make it as full as Macy's + Century 21 on Saturday. I was so exhausted by the time I made it to the escalators!! The only upside: instant VAT rebates. Galleries Lafayette is the only shop in town to do cash rebates, which is great when you don't want to haul your goodies to the customs office in CDG. That could be HUGE if you are planning on making some large LV purchases.</span> <br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Printemps is probably my favorite. It's a good mix of Saks and Neiman Marcus. The layout is quite nice, the brand portfolio is great, and they have a decent selection from each designer. I managed to get a really classy not-</span><i style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">too</i><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">-funky Kenzo dress for 60% off, which I'm going to wear to a company presentation.</span><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Le Bon Marché to me is overhyped as a department store. True it's the highest end of all, but each designer's section is just so small! (Although I did score a pair of Balenciaga ballet flats for a mere €130.) The real gem is in the basement: Le Grande Épicerie, a huge luxury supermarket which reminds me a lot of City Super in Hong Kong (which I adore!). The fruit and produce display was gorgeous--it made me want to buy everything. The leafy greens are verdant, covered with a rolling misty fog.</span><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Going on now in the US</span><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.barneys.com/Barneys-New-York-Warehouse-Sale/WAREHOUSE_SALE,default,pg.html" target="_blank">- Barney's Warehouse Sale is winding down</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">. You better believe I'm going to hit that up when I'm in town!</span><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=RvYsSfWUSo8&offerid=119970.10000614&type=3&subid=0" target="_blank">- YOOX.com's sample sale</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> is going on. I've been ordering stuff like crazy to pick up when I head back. If you have stuff in your Dream Box, try using code "LOVEMYDREAMBOX" for an extra 10% off (ends Feb 19).</span><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Random learning points</span><br style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">- Cosmetics in Europe-- I learned, to my dismay, that many products available in the US are not yet available in France! Even fairly established products like La Mer's powder foundation or even </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.chantecaille.com/" target="_blank">Chantecaille</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">'s (which to my knowledge is a French brand) Real Skin foundation. I was told both these items are available in the UK, but not yet in continental Europe. So if you're planning to come over for an extended trip, you better stock up. Overall the cosmetics are slightly-to-much more expensive than in the US (depending on the brand), and La Prairie products are truly incrementally less expensive in the Zurich airport. The big exception to luxury skincare: Sisley Paris is </span><i style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">considerably</i><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> cheaper here.</span><br /><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">- Staying warm-- A couple of weekends ago, I went skiing in the gorgeous Zermatt, Switzerland. With a view of the Matterhorn everywhere you go, it's really not difficult to say that skiing here is unlike anywhere else. What's also unlike anywhere else: the bitter, bitter cold! When we were there, it was -20C (-4F) at the top of the mountain </span><i style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">during the day</i><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> and -30C (-22F) at night. I am happy to report that I stayed warm the entire time while my peers were freezing. This is going to sound like a shill, but I have to share this: wear </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.icebreaker.com/" target="_blank">Icebreaker</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">. 3 layers of their 260 bodywear, and I felt nary a chill. My companions wore their high-tech Patagonia and whatnot, but they were complaining whereas me and my friend (who was borrowing my extra clothes) were not.</span><br style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br face="trebuchet ms"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So apologies for my absence, but my MBA really has me under water.

I have to say it's been a lot of fun (so far) living here, and there are lots of things I have totally embraced-- the 3x a week farmer's market with the absolute best fruit, drinking all the time, and living a little more simply. But maybe they do it too simply... did you know the French take siestas!?! No joke, most stores are closed from noon-2PM (something a New Yorker found outrageously frustrating). Given that they open at 9AM, or even 10, and close at 5:30, it gives new meaning to the term "banker's hours".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">One one hand, I am getting a seriously good education (or so I hope) and meeting lots of great people. On the other hand, </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I miss having time to do online shopping, blogging (!), and participate in things like Fashion's Night Out. </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm missing the my favorite sample sale and the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and Derek Lam is there. Just typing that makes me want to bang my head against a wall.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm trying to figure out this whole shopping-in-France thing. For one, everything is just more expensive. Really, given how affordable everything is in the US, I'd hate Americans too. Monoprix, which I liken to Target-level clothes, sells tops at 40-90€ ($56-126 USD), which I am just not used to. I can make $125 go a long way in New York! I guess I'm totally spoiled, because walking around, I think to myself, I can get Burberry pants for 200€ back home rather than some random boutique brand. So needless to say, I am not doing much shopping here. </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=RvYsSfWUSo8&offerid=119970.10000178&type=4&subid=0" target="_blank">YOOX.com</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> for the US is infinitesimally better for Americans too, which makes me scratch my head. After all, most of those goods are European labels, so how is it cheaper for goods made here to sell there? So what I've learned: if you live in the US, don't feel guilty about buying. Lots. :) I am definitely shopping online and sending things to New York, for my hubby to bring in October.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This brings me to what I'm missing now: the James Perse sample sale in Chelsea Market. I really wish I was there to stock up on cold weather tops :(</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-style: italic;">What: </span>James Perse sample sale, Chelsea Market</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Where: </span>Chelsea Market, </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=75+ninth+avenue&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&z=16&vpsrc=0" target="_blank">75 9th Ave</a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-style: italic;">When: </span>Friday, Sep 16 - Sunday, Sep 18;<span style="font-style: italic;"> times unknown</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3212541-10640781" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px;" src="http://contenta.mkt709.com/ra/2011/4423/09/4976612/CHELSEASAVETHEDATE.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Not sure when I will post again.
