Daydreaming About: Sandro

 

I am pretty sure that I have previously shown Sandro on this site, but since it's been awhile I figure none of you would remember anyways (I wonder how many more jokes about how much I have failed at being a blogger for the past year or so am I permitted to make?). But beyond your memory lapse, I am showing Sandro for many different reasons right now. First of all, Sandro was one of my favorite stores I found when I was in France. After school, I would often hop of the bus and look through all the clothing.

Sandro has a very clean look to it, chic and simple but still stylish (hmm that just sounds like the French especially Parisians doesn't it?) I presented the darker color palettes from the Fall here, because I am personally obsessed with anti-color (who says that? who is obsessed with NOT color? I'm a freak) but they do have some popping colors for their spring line. What Sandro does amazingly is the detail and fit, rather than anything very flashy. 

I regret not buying more from Sandro, but I am determined that the next time I go to one of their stores that I buy a couple of beautiful items. Previously, I thought that this would mean that I would have to wait until my next trip to France (a place I haven't gone back to since I moved back to the US about 3 years ago), but things have changed this year. In case you didn't hear, Bleeker street in NYC has experienced a French Invasion! Sandro opened it's New York doors this past fall! I am determined to make a trip to New York sometime and take a look. 

I also forgot to mention that the French Invasion on Bleeker street also includes Maje, which is the sister brand to Sandro (not in the way to Madewell is to Jcrew but like literally the owners are sisters!) Back in Rennes, the two stores were next to eachother and apparently they are on Bleeker too. I will definitely stop by there on this fictional trip to NYC, and probably do a review sometime soon.

Sandro Me Manque Trop

So I yesterday I bought the Vogue Magazine on all the main Spring Collections in Paris (mainly) but also London, New York, and Milan. It was rather inspiring, but I'm beginning to realize the average designers like D&G and even Marc Jacobs aren't really my style anymore. Nonetheless, I found some cool (and hideous ones) that'll I'll share with y'all later.

However, I was inspired to look up some of the websites of the brands I DO like. 

Let me introduce you to....SANDRO. My favorite store from last year. I literally went in there at LEAST once a week, every week after I finally got up the courage to go into such a chic looking french store. Sadly, they haven't put their Spring/Summer Collection pictures up yet...BUT I am a sucker for greys, blacks etc (the winter palate) and let's face it, although the spring collections are out and about, it's still freezing cold outside. 

want the dress

I love lace tops like this. I bought one at Aritzia but was too scared to wear it, so I lent it to my friend to wear to a dance first so that i HAD to keep it. Big Mistake after just one wear theres like hair like threads poking out so it looks like my armpits are like CRAZY HAIRY. Very embarrassing. 

I might have to go and buy the one at AA even though I already have one....dommage (Do you guys think its worth it? Does the AA have the same problem?)

want the dress for tomorrow

can't you just see me wearing this at school?

love the Blue

aren't shoulder detailing the coolest things ever? way better than wanna be a man shoulder pads

sequins make me think of Rachel Zoe.
