Au Pied de Cochon Paris, Five Years Later
Au Pied de Cochon Paris, Five Years Later
Finding a decent, late-night eatery in Paris (or in Europe in general) is a pain because most kitchens close between 11PM-1AM. Where to go for onion soup and steak at 2AM? Au Pied de Cochon! This brasserie has been around since 1946.

I popped by Colette earlier this week to go to Derek Blasberg’s CLASSY cocktail event. It’s always a pleasure seeing him.

Chanel Haute Couture Fall 2010 – Sous Le Signe Du Lion
Here’s a video I took before the show. Look at the enormous lion, with one of its paws resting on top of a giant pearl, at the Grand Palais.
Only at Chanel haute couture…

Paris at Dawn
Thought I’d share a few hilarious photos from last week. I’m going to Berlin after Paris haute couture and I’m so glad I made new German acquaintances because I’ve never been to Berlin before.
This is Timmy.
You better WERQ that bitch face and pose like the rent is due tomorrow… even if your new friend is falling off a bike!

Kenzo Spring Summer 2011 Menswear Show Invite
Kenzo Spring Summer 2011 Menswear Show Invite
You know how the old saying goes… early to bed early to rise! I slept very early last night (10:30pm!!) and woke up today at 7AM. Kenzo celebrates 40 years this year and I'm very determined to go to their show later.
I'm thinking of having breakfast at Cafe de Flore (since I'm staying at St. Germain des Pres afterall) before heading out to the show venue. Good idea?
Meanwhile, look at the details of my beautiful Kenzo jacket that I picked up a few days ago.
Couturetastic, no?
I hope it won't be too hot today because that jacket weighs a ton!

Menswear on Hold
It's Christmas Day here in Manila and believe it or not, I've spent the entire night working on administrative tasks: answering emails, reworking on my site, wrapping up my year-end accounting, etc.
Some of you wanted to know whether or not I'm going to Milan and Paris for the upcoming fall/winter 2010-2011 menswear shows next month.
The answer, unfortunately, is no. Unless I win the lottery tomorrow or a miracle happens within the next two weeks, it's a "no can do" from my part. I can't afford it. I wanna save money for womenswear because it's much more exciting. I don't even know if I can do the trifecta (NY-Milan-Paris) like last season. I guess we'll see.
Oh Paris, I miss you so much. I took this really awful shot of the Eiffel Tower after the AF Vandevorst show in October.
Meanwhile, I only opened 8 presents this year. I think it's my karma not to get a lot of material presents this Christmas Day. I mean hello… 2009 has been incredible to me. With all the amazing and mind-blowing experiences that I've had, every day felt like Christmas!
If you were to make me choose between getting 5 designer handbags (or designer something something) as presents OR experiencing everything that has happened to me the past 12 months, what do you think will I pick? Well, it's a no brainer innit? Bleugh.
A big thank you to all my readers, supporters and friends who truly made 2009 the most memorable year of my life…. so far! HAHA. ;)

Marc Jacobs Advertising + Juergen Teller Book Signing
Marc Jacobs Advertising + Juergen Teller Book Signing
I’m a big fan of Juergen Teller’s work. When I was younger, I bought his spectacular model casting book “Go Sees”. So when the lovely folks at Marc Jacobs invited me to his book signing event at the Palais Royal Paris store, this time, it’s for the enormous coffee table Marc Jacobs Advertising book, I had to come visit and see him in flesh.

Cour Carrée Musée du Louvre Paris
Cour Carrée Musée du Louvre Paris
The lovely Fred of Easy Fashion, one of my favourite French streetstyle blogs, took this wonderful photo of me at the Cour Carrée Musée du Louvre where the Louis Vuitton show took place yesterday.
Jacket, leather pants and shoes from Rad Hourani, Chanel bag, Marc Jacobs sunglasses, Topshop t-shirt.
Between you and me, I'm shocked that I look nice (ok, presentable, but I could've WERQED the LOOQUE harder) in this photo. I was all sweaty, coughing, huffing and puffing when I got to the show venue because I sprinted (in five inch heels) from the wrong metro station. Not good.
But the result, well, voila, pas mal…
Thank you Fred!

After the Fendi Party en Route to Maxim's
It's interesting how I have thousands of photos of other people (and things) here in Paris but I barely have pictures of myself. I went to the Fendi Party with Hugo, Karen, Michelle and Dean who took these blurry yet absolutely hilarious photos of me prancing the streets to go back to Maxim's where Club Sandwich is held.
Thanks Dean!
