Sézane

The Mini Fashionista goes to a French school, so it's only fitting that I should start having a greater affinity for all things French. The French brand Sézane is certainly worth of my affection. We walked by the store in Paris, but unfortunately I didn't do any shopping...which was probably for the best. 

I could pretty much wear the entire collection. The silhouettes are classic yet modern. The colors are rich. And the prices are relatively reasonable. 

I want everything in this post....

This jumpsuit is to die for!

This sweater is on my Christmas list. It's a reasobale $125

Navy pinstripe...yes please!

I am in love with this sweater....navy + ruffle= perfection!

One can never have too many animal print shoes.

C&C on the Move

The second part of our European Vacation took us to Chamonix, France...a mountain lover's paradise.  Everywhere we turned there were snow capped peaks, glaciers, mountain lakes, trams, gondolas and most importantly trails to explore! I took so many incredible pictures that there are too many to share, but here are a few from our adventures.

We spent nearly everyday hiking in the mountains. My husband and I even celebrate our 9th anniversary with an incredible 5 hour 23K hike.

This was the view from our deck. That is Mt. Blanc in the snow capped distance.

This is the center of Chamonix and the race finish of the Ultra Trail Mt. Blanc, the largest trail race in the world, that took place while we were there.

We mostly "cooked-in", but we did find the local "American" hang-out that is NOT TO MISS if you are in Chamonix.

It's owned/run by a American team of a mother and her kids. The food is awesome and the entire staff was so friendly and welcoming.

If you love hiking/running in the mountains than Chamonix would be your paradise. We are already planning our next trip back. 

French Foot Forward

We are planning a trip to France next summer. I can't wait to take the Mini Fashionista to Paris and for her to see the Eiffel Tower. You may ask, "why the Eiffel Tower?"

Well, because of Madeline, of course!

One of the other things I can't wait to indulge in is all the incredible children's fashion. I recently came across a French brand Called Aigle (Eagle). They have the cutest kids rain boots.

They also have cute sweaters, jackets and rain coats! And women's and men's products as well. I might just be adding this store to my Paris shopping list.
