I was wearing this dress when I was spotted by French blogger P; unfortunately I didn't see her and she was on her way somewhere so she didn't have time to stop and chat anyway. It's a shame because I would have enjoyed meeting her. Either way, it's always funny to hear you've been "spotted" because I tend to forget people read my blog.
As you can tell from the super, cozy Elizabeth Lau knit dress I'm wearing: it got quite brisk here in Paris. The weather forecast is similar for Italy, so my bright sunshine days of summer might be behind me and I show no signs of the slightest tan yet...perhaps I'll get some more sun and heat in NYC when I go up for fashion week?
As much as I have been bemoaning the change in the weather to my sister, I have to say this is how I always pictured Paris. I tend to form rather hazy ideas of how I think places ought to be; I try not to be too exact since that often leads to disappointment. Still, from all my stereotyped cognitions of Paris from vintage films and a few Edith Piaf songs, grey skies and a cool wind come to mind...

Your hair colour is looking fab, have you put a wash/toner on it? Love the length to!

Your hair color against the simple black with the contrast of you tights is quite eye catching. Beautiful!

I love the play of red and wine colors in this outfit-- perfect for la vie en rose. And it's so odd that you'd forget that people read your blog, because clearly so many of us do!

I just came back to paris from holidays, i would love to see you in the streets!

like it a lot.
Aaaah it's really sad that I couldn't stop and come to talk to you, but I was running to my appointment and I was already late ... ;_; What a pity! =(
Actually, since my return from vacation in Poland, I was so busy at work that I had no time to read many blogs... And because of that, I didn't know that you were traveling in Europe these days ...
I recognize this beautiful black dress now!! ^^
Very very nice! And I must say that I've particularly noticed you from far thanks to your hair, what a gorgeous color! It suits you perfectly! ^^
And yes, it's really freezing these last days, but usually, we have nice summer weather here till the end of september... I don't understand what's happening, I have to wear my winter coat because of this cold wind =(
I hope we can meet one day, if you ever come back to Paris, don't hesitate to let me know by mail! ;)
Kisses from Paris! ;)

This is a lovely look Rebecca. As someone else said, the contrast of your hair and the tights is great with simple black. And I hope we see lots more of this dress!

Oh you lucky, lucky girl! I would so LOVE to visit Paris. You look insanely lovely..adore the outfit..tres magnifique! :)
Love the romantic look! Perfect touch for Paris :)
I love this! It does seem very Parisian. As does your red hair, for some reason... I'm not sure if there are many French redheads, I'm thinking not but I'm sure there's some rousses la, non? :p
Have you picked up any French? Or have you already spoken it at all?
wow your hair is awesome! Did you get it done recently.
love your hair color!! I've been seeing your blog since I read about it at Elee's article. I think you always create looks that are really according to you and really show of your hair and skin tone.
