aesop's fables.

not just a conditioner, aesop's rose hair and moisturizing masque is a weekly botanical hair treatment to restore vitality and shine. containing hydrating rose petal extraction with grapefruit seed and lavender, it's mild enough for gentle hair but also packs a punch for damaged locks. and this is no fable, it's true. 20 rue bonaparte. near rue visconti, 6e. 01.44.41.02.19.

knot bad.

summer will be over in a blink of the eye and then you'll be pining for the "it" fall accessory to jump start your fall look. chanel is a good place to start with their black evening clutch with a big dramatic satin knotted bow. and it wouldn't be the classic french brand without with a little rhinestone double "C" pin. 31 rue cambon. near rue st. honore, 1er. 01.42.86.28.00.

hardly sneakers.

you love this designer's glam sneakers, but sometimes all you want is some height. lucky for you, pierre hardy has added a feminine rubber spike heel to his famed sneaker. avail in either black crinkle patent or a crazy op-art black and white pattern in calf, these are the sexiest sneaks around. 9-11 place du palais bourbon. near rue saint-dominique, 7e. 01.45.55.00.67.
