Paris, meet London.

It may be my addiction to shopping talking (it's definitely my addiction to shopping talking), but isn't everything made better with a new pair of shoes?

Take, for instance, Paris. 

Who'd-a-thunk that the City of Lights could be made even brighter with the simple addition of a cute little pair of heeled-oxfords from Author in London.

True, their motherland hails of slightly grayer skies - 

but something about their shiny splendor more than makes up for their dreary origins.

And, in my humble opinion, take my plane jane black dress to Rue Saint-Honoré worthy wardrobe. 

wearing: dress: UO, belt: J.Crew, shoes: Author

My personality, however, it did not. 

Cheers.
