Have you ever noticed that European women have a unique ability to look chic despite bad weather? Consider the Brits and their trenchcoats or the Swedes and their beautiful winter wools. Parisian women in particular are effortlessly put together no matter what the forecast has in mind. The city streets are their stage, so cue the wind machine!
We took inspiration from the locals in Paris when the rain started and decided to make it a backdrop instead of a burden. If you’re going to be stuck in the rain, there are worse places to do it than Paris. In fact, the overcast gives the city a beautifully muted color story and quietly romantic feel. It was a perfect neutral canvas for deep reds and blush pinks in our looks. We had a packed schedule, so out came the fall maroons, lush suedes, and, of course, umbrellas, as we took to the streets of one of the most fashionable cities in the world.
Ashley paired her striped maroon and pink dress with the English Bazaar and Edinburgh earrings, the Brussels bracelet, the Russia ring, and the Rio del Mar ring. Paige paired her maroon suede outfit with the Czech checkered cuff, the Year 2052 bracelet, the Rio de Janeiro Rings. We both wore outfits from ASOS with Schutz shoes.
Part of our trip to Paris included meeting with some of our fellow fashion designers and bloggers, including the lovely ladies at Fabulous Muses. We took advantage of the city to do more shoots for the blog (stay tuned!) and get inspiration for future collections. Check back next week for more of our Paris Fashion Week recap, including our Spring 2016 collection presentation and the CFDA / Vogue cocktail party!
Lots of Love,
Ashley and Paige
