Anti-Aging Moisturizer from Skeen: Things I Have

While in Paris, I was able to stop by a favorite shop of mine... skincare brand Skeen. Launched in 2006, I discovered their shop in the Marais a few years ago and tried out a number of their products.

The anti-aging masque and eye gel are favorites, but since I'm currently well stocked on both of those, I decided to try a new product.

I've been looking for a nighttime moisturizer, and their anti-aging version seemed like a good bet. Tried it out last night for the first time + was happy with how my skin felt this morning!

Go to the Skeen site to learn more... and while the brand was launched with men in mind, a lot of women are now fans, so it's really a unisex offering.

Supra Hightops: Things I Want

Bring on the hightops! I just keep finding pairs I love and until my budget allows me to stock up on Pierre Hardy and Lanvin, I think Supra may just be the perfect thing.

While in Paris (I'm now sadly en route back Stateside) I ran across a shop called Black Rainbow, in the Marais. It was totally my kind of space: minimal, stocked with Bathing Ape, decks, and some great high tops.

These babies from their holiday collection totally caught my eye. I really like Supra's back panel around the heel and the side detail. And all of their shoes were around 100 EUR. Can't go wrong!

So now I love Supra (check them out here) but I also had to investigate this Black Rainbow. Turns out their shop on Rue des Archives is just one facet of the company... they are also a creative agency, design their own collections, and operate an online store and blog. Boom!

Stay tuned for more on Supra, and if you can tell me more about Black Rainbow, I'd love to hear it.

Leather Espadrilles: Things I Have

Okay so it may be cold and rainy in Paris, but I now cannot wait for summer. I just bought some leather espadrilles!

Two summers ago, in the South of France, I bought a pair of espadrilles for 5 EUR. I've worn them constantly since then and as a result have worn them out. So I knew I'd need to pick up a new pair before warm weather arrives...

Then today I was walking through the Marais and saw a shoe repair shop with espadrilles stacked in the window. I went in and of course bought a new pair of canvas ones, but they also had some in leather.

They are amazing! Can't wait to rock them out on the beach!
