un nouveau magasin à paris

april 77 (whose jeans I so dearly love if only I had more money) just opened a new store in paris and I want to go like whoa

this is what refinery29.com says:

Designer Brice Partouche tapped interiors guru Steven Thomas after reading a book on Biba, the '70s retail monolith that Thomas also designed. The circular space recalls a turntable with its dark vinyl'esque floors and gleaming steel beams, a choice that complements Partouche's rock-n-roll-inspired, super-skinny unisex denim styles and fitted double-breasted blazers. Vintage radios are stashed throughout the crannied displays to further address the line's affinity for the chicest beats.

I feel sad b/c I suck at french now and had to google how to say "a new store in paris" b/c I couldn't remember if "store" was masculine or feminine. sucky.


here's the address if you are lucky enough to be en france:
April 77, 49, Rue de Saintonge, 75003 Paris, France; +33 (0)1 4029 0730.

oui oui!

Mr. Fantasy and I were just visiting our other home (ha) in paris and we came across this amazing shop called colette. Unfortunately, we weren't able to visit, but based on their site the shop seems very promising. The overall feel of the shop is meant to be home-y yet eclectic. There is a good selection of things online, including some cool comme items. but why are their t's so expensive? it makes me sad. oh, and these are amazing:
