Summer dress

I hope that the sun will stay with us until late September !!




Yes the blue one ... is the same than this one ...


Story of the dress blue and black dress :

Few days before my birthday, we were in Paris, for what I don't remember.
Anyway.
We were walking in the Marais, where a lot of good fashion store are. In the middle of a little street, a little store. I saw a wonderful skirt (my golden skirt). Mum and I decided to walk in. And, few seconds after, I saw THE dress ! The blue one. The lady of the store (a lovely british woman) told me it was the only one she had ... Size 6 ... Too small, I need a 8 ... She only had this one.
"Fortunately" the skirt was ok.

Before leaving the store, I check the brand of the dress "French Connection". Back home, I check on the Internet : no French Connection store in Paris, or France (so WHY did they call it FRENCH Connection ????). I only found a little corner at the Galeries Lafayette.

After a job interview, I met my Mum in Paris for a little bit of shopping. We went to the G.L and I found the dress, in black. The 8 was perfect, but the girl had the dress only in black ... Too bad (but I bought the dress and love it !)

Before leaving for Ireland, I'd been weak and check the new collection, and found another perfect dress (here) ... Google, and F.C.U.K website : there are stores in Dublin ! I will check the dress there !

We went to the store. No dress ! F.U.C.K ! But there are some sales ... Let me check !

OH MY GOD !!! THIS IS MY BLUE DRESS IN 8 !!!!

Mum looked at me and told me
" - You already have this one in black ..."
" - (crying yes) but it's not the sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee " (the kind of thing that ONLY a girl can say with false tears)

I also found the green one, that I tried in Paris and didn't bought.
Because it was -70%, I took them both !

Maybe I'm gonna change my name in Becky Bloomwood ... ...

I love/hate French Connection !!

Now, I need to find those shoes !

I saw them in Biarritz. And guess what, when I asked them to the lady, she told me that, it was the last one ...
The one in the window were 37 (size UK's 4, US' 6) and I'm 39 (UK's 6, US' 8) ... Ouch !
I tried another one in 39 : too big, 38 : not so bad but ... 37 : give me my feet back please !!! It's dying !!!!

And, as usual, United Nude has NO STORE in Paris, just a corner at ... Galeries Lafayette !

I hate shopping ! ;-)
