In celebration of my 200th post, I thought that perhaps you should meet my P a r i s i a n alter ego. You met her here, stamping her Blahnik-clad feet, whining in her soft French accent about how much she wanted that tee. Quite the first impression, non?
Her name is C o q u e t t e . A petite girl with dark locks cut in an edgy bob (much like Ashley Olsen’s longer version of the style), whose name is hardly misleading in telling a bit about herself. But petite is not synonymous to tiny—her curvy figure only adds to her coquettish-ness. She is never caught without sunnies, whether they be oversized Guccis or (her personal favorite) vintage Chanel rounds. That, and a new bag every week (this week happens to be a chocolate leather Hermès Birkin). Coquette’s wardrobe consists of plenty of Wolford tights, bandage minis and dresses, heels, boots, black, Yves Saint Laurent, and an enviable amount of denim. [You can’t tell I’m jealous, can you?] All of which compromise a great majority of her work-drobe as a fashion director in Vogue Paris.
Anway.
At the moment, we are both quite head over heels (no pun intended) for Yves Saint Laurent Cage ankle booties. Patent black with silver heels, in size 35/35.5. Ah oui, I am quite lucky and unlucky; the former because Coquette has the same shoe size comme moi, and the latter because dearest Coquette is never willing to share. Le sigh.
And if you happen to be interested, Coquette is currently wearing a sheer, loose-cut tank by T by Alexander Wang tucked into a studded, high-waisted Balmain skirt with patent flats. [Parisian at its best] To break up the black, she totes around a white Balenciaga around her arm, fingers well manicured in Chanel Madness (a gorgeous maroon) as they fly away on her Blackberry Curve checking her email. Of course she looks up occasionally, her coquettish self batting her lashes at any Frenchman worthy of her infamously pouty glances. Maintenant, she is headed to pick up a few garment bags of Dior gowns for Carine Roitfeld’s editorial in Vogue Paris.
We do share a love for all things black, embellished, knit bandage skirts, Balenciaga, and patent. And MAC Viva Glam lipsticks, black liner, and Chanel nail polish in dark colours. ‘Tis a pity Coquette acquisitive about her wardrobe. Le sign no. 2. Ah well, I do empathize; if I had such fabulous a wardrobe, I would indeed keep it to myself.
Bisous,
La C.

Happy 2ooth!!!!
Words are not enough for those YSL booties… I loved them from the first moment I saw them!
Coquette may just be my alter ego. Love this post, darling! That Balenciaga bag. The Chanel nail polish. The MAC liquid eyeliner. The Dolce & Gabbana Patent Ballerina Flats. Swoon…
Mmmm, I adore Balmain and Balenciaga motorcycle bags! Fabulous – it does seem as though your alter Parisian ego has flawless style, my dear 🙂 And congrats on your 200 posts!
congrats on the 200th post darling!
we adore coquette 🙂
Congratulations, darling one! To get to post 200 is a big accomplishment 🙂 And Coquette is even more fun to read about than those mini-stories you used to do on various outfits (but I still miss them, by the way…). One day I’ll introduce her to Music-Airam – they do seem to have a lot in common!
mm I love Coquette and her wardrobe choices as well.
can you stop making me want things already. :
Congratulations! and want all these thing you posted!! 🙂
Love Coquette, we could be bffs! 200 posts, thats insane, congrats!
XOXOXO

You know I love your stories, they are always fascinating! Brillant post for 200!
And Coquette’s wardrobe, hmm, I’m sure I’d make a huge impact if I would buy them as gifts. Especially with the skirt (who wouldn’t love to wear a Balmain skirt?), the bag (Balenciaga is always welcome) and the heels (YSL is always there for the shoe-addicts).
200 posts???
Congratulations dear!!!
i loveee the balmain skirt and those gorgeous gorgeous ysl shoes!!
She indeed has a wardrobe any gal will envy. : )
Congratulations!! Haha, definitely loving your alter ego 🙂 Those cage shoes are SO amazing, and that Balmain skirt has me swooooning! Hope you had a beautiful weekend 🙂

Hello La C. Congrats on hitting your 200th post. That’s great news. I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Cheers!
Those shoes are to die for. I just want to photograph them on an incredibly fabulous model. Yay for you 200th post! You haven’t heard from me in a while so i thought i’d come by and say hi. Also I’m actually starting up my photo blog again and it’s going to be a fusion of Crimson Cream and Death by Coffee, do take a look when you have the time! Oh and I like Coquette very much, she sounds utterly fabulous 😉
The shoes are epic. I love that Mac lipstick, it’s the perfect city pink.
Your friend sounds cool.

Glad to be "on board" 😉
And – wow to your alter ego's styling – coquette is une enroyable mademoiselle 😉 sorry for poor french 😀
I heart both of you ladies. Mademoiselle Coquette does seem to have a rather enviable wardrobe. Impeccably chic all the time, I presume. 🙂
So do tell, where I can find her so that I may try and coax her to let me sneak a peek (and possibly borrow) some of her lovely clothing.
But Id probably get chased out of her apartment by burly footmen. hehe.
Missed your blog, La C! Havent been here in quite a while.

I am loving the heels and congrats on the post but I’ll need to go to heel walking school before I buy them = ) I am so sad…
I found lacouturiernyc.wordpress.com very informative. The article is professionally written and I feel like the author knows the subject very well. lacouturiernyc.wordpress.com keep it that way.
I think I am completely and utterly jealous of Coquette.
