Stalking bottes/boots in Paris requires some work...
Hanging out in le Grand Epicerie is an awfully good way...
To catch up...
On what boots THEY are wearing...
Another option is go to a hot exhibit like Basquiat at the musee d'Art Moderne de la ville de Paris...
Get on the very long line and just watch the latest Paris boots walze by...
Sometimes the boots get fed up with standing on line and sit down to wait. I got fed up waiting after an hour, but I saw a lot of fashion...
A bit of leche-vitrine/window shopping is required for trend following...
The riding style boots, L'Aigle are very hot now in Paris...
Carrying around their signature bag is de rigeur...
'Uggish' boots have made a comeback - these in Sonia's vitrine...
Added multi-straps update them...
One could get away with wearing one's old Uggs I suppose...
But when Galerie Lafayettes has a special promotion of Uggs + Jimmy Choo...
Offering jazzed up versions...
Who can resist?
A careful inspection is essential...
The prix - 740 euros, could help one curb ones impulsivity I suppose...hmmm
One does wonder how French Girls...
Eat all these divine desserts and yet fit into the skin-tight boots seen dans la rue...
True some Frenchies are quite busy working off those tartes...
I alone, was not wearing boots in Paris, but your friendly stalker-in-the-street must think of comfort 1st and be able to stalk another day...BONJOUR PARIS BOOTS!

THEY are wearing CAT!
Well OK 'wild' cat patterns...
Really any animal pattern will do...
But mostly catty patterns are preferred...
Tell me the name of this famous highend stocking brand?
It begins with a 'W'. They have cat patterns up the whazoo...
Combine the trend for faux furs with cat patterns plus a shorty jacket and you're set.
These are all very neutral, but then Paris does go in for grey/gris in a big way. You'll find animal prints at all price points and for the kids too.
Here's what I can't figure out...
With all the perfectly nice flat surfaces...
On these Paris pastries I find it deeply troubling...
That the tres au courant and very fashionable Parisien pastry chefs...
...Have not added a touch of cat patterns on top of these tartes. All that's required is a stencil and a sprinkling of cocoa powdre et voila! You have a tarte to match your scarf or leggings etc.
Me, I'm dressed in layers, none of them catty. But ever prepared for Paris' changing weather...
Meanwhile BEAR is busy browsing Paris bears and anything stripey...

BONJOUR PBers!
We made it (BEAR and I) and this was the first poster we saw in the Metro.I really wanted to go to this but....
French Girl went off and left us to our own devices...
She left the internet code (25 numbers and letters!) in Euro scrawl - nearly impossible to deceifer without consulting the UN. Enfin we figured it out!
Evidently there are TWO ways of writing a 1 in France and they look a lot like an upside down M (if two 1s are together as they are twice in FG's code :( or an L or I or a 1.
%$#@!
There has been an unexpected bout of Jetlag...
But now we're back on track - up today at 4ish am :)
I wanted to do different things this trip so I've been going to museums that aren't really supermarches! REAL museums.
Old habits die hard.
Old habits die hard. My first lunch was at Fauchon - same old, same old...
The first 2 days in Paris I've been test-tasting eclairs chocolat - more to come on the results... 
I will never give up...
Gazing at Paris pastries. Jamais!
Nor Eiffel...
Towers.
Nor towers of macarons!
More flowers as you requested...
