Whenever I immerse myself in Chanel, a beret or in decadent perfume; I feel a need for some pain au chocolate (chocolate pastries) while strolling the streets of Paris. One of the necklaces I am wearing, the one with the black satin bow, is from the house of Lanvin and one of my most prized possessions.
On another note, I'm thrilled to share news of a brand new Ice Skating rink opening in Raleigh, one to rival the Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center in New York City. I'm a dancer and skater at heart, so this news greatly excites me!! One step closer, Lissa. Now, if only I had access to the Met steps, too. ;)
The Scarlet Room Chanel graphic tee. Lanvin necklace. Vintage beret, bag and skirt. Urban Outfitters tights. Calvin Klein oxfords.

Erika!!! I love your smiling pic! Cute outfit xo
You're so lucky to have such lovely posessions! I would kill for a necklace from Lanvin - I'm soooooooooooooo jealous!
Chanel. I die.
Anyways, as you know (or at least, you should!), you're awesome at putting things together and that shiny necklace is perfect.
Loving the song you have playing right now. You're blog is so fun it comes with like theme music, haha, that's a good thing!
I yearn for something Chanel because those criss crossed Cs make me go crazy because they're my initials. Christian Castillo. Ahhh I want.

Hi, I been following your blog for sometime now this one really caught my attention what a great way to incorporate a french look with menswear, the chocolate brown oxfords are great. THEY ADD the je ne sais quoi to your look and are the frosting on top of the cake.. or the pain au chocolat. ;)
amazing look! perfect for fall and so eclectic but chic!

the chanel shirt and the beret are just too cute!
Love the Chanel tee, Lanvin necklace, and brogues! My mom used to dress me up in berets all the time when I was a kid. I hated them back then, but now I wish I could pull off the look. Very cute outfit!

Love these photos, Erika! The high heel oxfords are really "in" for Fall...and the beret just adds the extra "chic" to this great outfit. Again you show us how we can take ordinary pieces from our closets and take them to the next "Oh so chic"level!

Aw, that first photo is the cutest ever. I've bought a bag very similar to that Chanel one in Italy! And I also bought a similar skirt on Friday (only mine is fake leather) and I have similar shoes, only without the high heel :D
You indeed look very French/Parisian in this look, and of course the clothes being by French brands such as Chanel or Lanvin only adds to the Parisian glamour! Talking of Parisian, I adore the ads for YSL's newest fragrance, Parisienne. Do you know it?
love.
i live for chanel
:p
i love this outfit!
xoxo
i looove yor outfit! so chic!

Cute outfit as always.
Thank goodness for La Farm in Cary, that's where I get mon pain au chocolat. I'm from Paris and believe me, they make a very good one there.

very retro, I love it. I'm especially in love with the necklace, it's one of those that I could use all week and not tire of it.
loving your oxfords and graphic tee so much <3
have you ever considered doing a question and answer sessions with your readers before?
I'm really admire this look for you and the smile is super nice. Share more with us :D

This is oh so French chic, my darling! Love it to bits. Those brogue heels are killer. Gah, jealous. I look like an arse in anything similar.
p.s. insanely jealous of your Madden McQueen booties. Seriously hot, hot, hot. Be warned, if I ever visit...I'll be attempting to steal :)
I'm glad you're loving the new place. From the blog posts, it seems like it loves you too. Wierd thing to say? Don't know, you just look so serene and content.
Mwah.
Have a fab week, gorgeous girl

I love your pictures! The outfits is beautiful!
There's something French but also English in your outfit. The French side would be the black and well-thought details... for the Brit side, I'd account the shoulder bag and the shoes. A very interesting combination!
i looove your oxfords lady! hope the move went well! all the best of luck honey! xxx BEL
you look always fabolous!
well done, girl!
Yup, the YSL ads with Kate Moss were what I meant. My very favoutizr YSL campaign so far :)
you look so chic here :D I love your first photo where you're smiling, you look so pretty!
P.S : you're a dancer?
The first photo is so pretty, smile=priceless! I love the post and where do you live in NC, Im from Raleigh but the neighborhood looks so nice and quiet. You miss Miami? lol

Love your beret.
Just lovely. You really rock those shoes. Not everyone looks good in oxfords, but you really do! I love the mixture of classic chanel and a hint of menswear. Looks stunning!

Really cute outfit! Love it all x Sushi
ARRGH JEALOUSY!
I wish I could visit you and go ice skating. But I'd fall because I'm not that graceful. Ah well, it would still be fun with you Feathers :]
Looking very fierce!! I'm loving that top and it's about time I get myself some sheer tights like yours!
the shoes are my favorite part of the look!
you're so stunning dear .
glistersandblisters.blogspot.com
Wow!!!!!nice smile, you have to do more often! :)smile!!!!!!
Love it. My mom has a very similar black bag - for the longest time she told me it was real Chanel (she knows nothing about fashion btw) and finally I was like MOM it's like plastic haha. Not Chanel, but still very old and very cool. I should bust it out!
PS I totaly get dressed and feel like I'm elsewhere...loves
I LOVE this outfit to bits!! That's the best Chanel logo look I've seen to date. And your shoes... I had the same ones, with a slightly lower heel, from Barney's.. where are they?? I think I lost them in the move to London!
Love the backdrop: so different from that gorgeous tropical Miami turquoise, but you're embracing your new home in all it's Raleigh woodsyness.
T H A N K! Y O U!!
And yes, Lissa we have to meet & skate.

Waw, j'adore
Adorable! one of my favorite outfits ever I think!
Oh la la, you look so french and chic! But that is no surprise, because you usually are extremely chic anyways :D
ooh this outfit is totally awesome!!! I'm in love with your gorgeous shoes lady:)
Olivia
i adore sheer tights
