paris | fashion + beauty picks.

contributed by richard nahem

it's been gray and chilly in the city of lights, but that's not stopping you from looking your best. get on some razzle dazzle, be the reigning empress and have a meeting of minds with this list of pretty picks:

heating up.

already having trouble staying warm this coming winter? uniqlo has come up with a surefire rescue remedy: its new heattech technology. the patented thermal fabric is lightweight and toasty at the same time. a multi-color line of 32 pieces includes T's, leggings, camisoles and turtlenecks. and for the men? there are super soft and comf long johns. as if you weren't hot enough already. 17 rue scribe. near rue de mathurins, 9e. 01.58.18.30.55.

the empress reigns.

known for pushing the envelope, dolce & gabbana doesn't disappoint with the ambitious launch of D&G anthology. this latest launch includes five new scents and your soon-to-be fave just might be "l'impeatrice" (meaning empress in french). and who better to embrace the title than naomi campbell in the ad campaign. fresh and sweet, it has notes of watermelon, kiwi, pink cyclamen and musk. available at sephora. 70 avenue champs-élysées. near rue de la boetie, 8e. 01.53.93.22.50.

razzle dazzle.

the dior spa at the plaza athénée wants to dazzle you with the celebration of their first anniversary, so what better way to do that than with a new facial? "the dazzling complexion” is a whopping 50 minutes, and the exclusive dior institut technique will re-oxygenate, relax and smooth your worn out skin. and when you're being pampered in a sumptuous treatment room with lavender silk-tufted panels, there's a whole lot of reasons to act like a queen. plaza athénée. 25 avenue montaigne. near rue boccador, 8e. 01.53.67.66.65.

     

meeting of minds.

le mont st. michel is known for their vintage knits. so what are they doing dappling in music? they‘re teaming up with the musical sensation das pop, whose songs and re-mixes top european clubs can't get enough of. expect 50's-style tartan vests, graphic 80's-style graphic pullovers, and chunky knitted workmen's style jackets in this funky, retro collection. 20 rue du jour. near rue montmartre, 1er.
