No one does effortless chic better then the Parisian Woman. They always seem so perfectly undone and done at the same. Classic mixed with stylish edge. What women wouldn’t want to embody that? This weekend while shopping in Soho, I decided to stop into the IRO store. This stripped t-shirt was on my spring wish list and I wanted to try it on. It’s better than I could have imagined, the perfect boyish fit. In typical MRAE fashion, I went in for one thing and ended up falling in love with everything. This brand is my new obsession, I can’t wait to add more pieces to my closet. I ended up pulling the trigger on a cream, tweed jacket. I’m preparing my wardrobe for the warmer months, and really want to add lighter pieces to my closet. I know this jacket will get incredible use. It’s an instant chic-a-fier. What does that mean you ask? A piece that you put on that instantly makes you look chicer. I might have a slight shopping problem, but I am a good shopper. I always make sure to buy things that I know I will wear time and time again. I go in with a mindset of building my closet with quality things that will last, over having a bunch of junk that I will give away next year. The second you realize that, the less you will complain about having nothing to wear. Whenever I buy something new, the excitement overwhelms me and I need to wear it ASAP. My new purchases came together perfectly to create a “Parisian Style” inspired Easter outfit. Jim and I ended up spending Easter Day with our good friends Stacie and Phil. We had brunch at Marea uptown, and headed to Central Park to walk around. We finished the night off stuffing our faces with our favorite Chinese food, Red Farm. It was the perfect outfit, for a perfect day, with perfect people, in a perfect city. I may never be as cool as a French girl, but I’m okay with that. I’d rather be a New Yorker anyway.
