oui oui.

here’s to a brand that makes me feel so parisian. it’s a french brand and i am always a fan of their designs. the brand remains very consistent and they’re pieces that will stay timeless. and since there won’t be any travels to paris anytime soon, i’ll take this. it’s hard to believe that one year ago, @sezane had a pop-up in ATX and it was the last event i attended before the world shut down. they graciously gifted me a gift card which i finally spent a year later. 🤣 like everyone else, the pandemic really changed my wardrobe, hence the delay. i knew i wanted this piece because i’ve seen it styled a couple ways and tried to replicate it in this post. the cardigan (french people call it a jumper) features some luxe pearl buttons and can be worn:

as a top by itself,
layered & unbuttoned,
and what’s actually cool is that you can wear it backwards too — hello back details. it’s not common you can flip something around to wear it and it actually looks normal.

the gaspard jumper is pretty lightweight and comes in SO.MANY.COLORS. good luck deciding! of course i picked red & paired it with my fave white wide leg pants. also goes great with (white) skinny jeans. the red + white combo is always #sofresh, so you can’t go wrong. prob not the softest since it is made of mohair and alpaca. another item i picked up with the giftcard is the florence shirt — a white silk button down. SO. CLASSIC.

side ramblings: i finally checked out @beardpapas and it was so good! i loveeee cream puffs. any dessert actually. i tried a little bit of everything but def going back for the honey butter shell + vanilla filling. i’m pretty basic in that sense. kinda like donuts. i like em classic glazed. no toppings. nada. my fam and i also had @sevenspice! i enjoyed this place and will be coming back for the beef tendons with chilantro in chili oil, pan fried rice cake with picked mustard greens, and i wanna try the texas okra! well, apparently this rambling is going to be completely food related. bc y’all know the way to my heart is through my stomach. LOL. i met my quota this week and ATE ON A PATIO for the first time in one year. my my. idk who i am anymore! slowly working on those anxiety issues. it was such a great feeling as food is a huge part of my social life. my foodie PIC @wanderlustania and i checked out @joiatx and i was pleasantly surprised! i’ll be back for dinner fo sho! tip: make patio reservation at a non-peak time to avoid crowds! my friend and i had the patio to ourselves :)
