Rue Saint-Honoré

That's right, kiddies: We're not in Manhattan anymore. Welcome to Paris.

The weather is unseasonably cold, but the French remain unruffled. On the Rue Saint-Honoré in the 1er arrondissement, the women wear trench coats with belts artfully tied. The mysterious French artful-tying gene, first noted with the advent of Hermes scarves, has yet to be pinpointed. In men this translates into an ability to toss a scarf over one's shoulder just so. The look is very debonair, and as for the men of New York, well... let's hope you're watching.

Are you coming back with a Goyard? I think the price is still lower even with the exchange rate.
