A couple days ago, my friend took me to see where his aunt works. To LANVIN. Just being in the boutique was amazing, but I also got to go upstairs and see some of the inner workings of Lanvin. It was amazing, I got to see all the spring pieces about to be put in the archives, the press office, and the rows of beautiful new fall clothes that were used in the fall ad shoot. I was too busy hyperventilating or drooling to take many pictures, but I did get myself a simple pair of seafoam green Lanvin ballet flats. I’m really not much of a classics person, but I can already tell these flats will be useful on the cobbled, shoe-destroying streets of Paris.

My friend’s aunt gave me a spring press book, which is pretty much absolutely useless to me, and quite bulky, but I’m just dorky enough to love it anyway.

I’m so obsessed with Lanvin’s packaging. The shoe boxes are beautiful in themselves, and it’s those small design details that really set great brands apart from the rest.

I’m still ridiculously jetlagged, and I’m now becoming sleep deprived (people in Paris stay up late!!), but I should have more pictures tomorrow.

Bisous!
