Once upon a childless time, I bought myself new shoes on the semi-regular. Priorities change, disposable income changes, amount of free time able to be devoted to leisurely browsing the internets for fashunz changes. Next thing you know, you haven’t bought yourself new ankle boots in nearly three years and you realize you are wearing several pairs of boots that are almost 7 years old. The two boots in my regular rotation are my Acne Pistol boots and my Isabel Marant Dicker boots, both of which have a black leather upper and brown wood sole, so I had been wanting a pair of boots with black on black upper and sole.

In theory, and in my mind, this brought visions of Beet dressed completely in monochromatic-Scandinavian-minimal-organic-quirky-omg-wtf-instagram-worthy ensembles. IN REALITY, Beet rotates through the same 3 pairs of leggings every week – including this faded, pilly pair of blue ones from Baby Gap. Enter: Sailor Janes, purveyor and curator of cool kids clothes and kids fashion. I’ve partnered with Sailor Janes for a $50 gift card to their site!

In light of recent events in Paris, I started looking through my old photos of our trips to Paris and realized that I never posted the photos of our most recent trip from last year, March 2014. I basically got pregnant immediately after our trip, which obviously distracted me for a good while! So a year and a half late, but here are some of my favorites from the trip. You can also peek at the photos from our previous trip to Paris in 2011 here.
