Shoppable observations

I’ve still yet to make it to the Carven flagship, but I did stop into the brand’s shop-in-shop at Galeries Lafayette (the French make department stores everything they can be). I bought the boned tunic in mélange wool on sale for 30% off as the store makes way for new-in pieces I didn’t recognize from the runway, including a column dress with a boned underwire that cheekily frames the bust. Keep an eye out for that in white and forest green.
Also at Galeries Lafayette, I swung by the lingerie department to check out the oft-recommended-for-bog-boobs Simone Perele, of which they had a vast collection. What ended up catching my eye was actually another brand, Maison Lejaby—specifically this bra—part of the brand’s current 40% off price cuts.
We had a really funny interaction at the Evan Kinori showroom, wherein Louis mistook an offer from someone also visiting Evan and accidentally sent him off to buy me a coffee (I’d been complaining about needing caffeine all morning). The man kindly obliged, and it wound up being a good excuse for an intro. He was Oliver Church, a shirt maker based in Southern Paris producing “singular garments” from Italian poplin and Indian cotton. The coffee was great, the shirts even better!
Even though I am a perfect packer, I perhaps subconsciously forgot something on purpose so that I’d have to stop into one of Paris’ great pharmacies that dot the streets. The usually unremarkable formulas of daily life are just a little better across the board here, which I found to be the case with a sensitive-skin La Roche-Posay deodorant stick that glides on totally clear and smells like classic soap.

Architectural detail of the day — Acne Studios HQ

Acne Studios’ new showroom combines all of its Paris operations under one roof for the first time ever—originally a mansion in Paris’ 10th arrondissement, the space was partially converted into a laboratory for producing Niaouli essential oil, the operating family dramatically lofting the ceilings with glass brick for production on one side and preserving the rococo, gilded-molding interiors for living on the other.
