Sporty, Sorta

What I'm Wearing: Cream&Soda Red Leather Jacket, H&M Basic Tank, Vintage Gingham

Slouchy Trousers, H&M Hat + Sunglasses+ Balenicaga Bag, ASOS Court Platform Heels.

There is a boutique on the same street as my apartment that I've always admired but never actually went in. The other day, on my way to the metro, I decided to quickly scope it out (finally. I've lived here a year and there are still places on my own street I am yet to explore, sort of ridiculous right?) - anyway I came out with this jacket. Its sort of half bomber, half tailored but also looks sort of sporty. Does that make sense? Probably not. This was such a comfortable outfit- I really love pairing tall heels with baggy, loose-fitting trousers. Imagine how different (and uhh bland) this ensemble would look with Converse. Moral of the fashion story here is, don't be afraid to swap flats for heels- its jumpstarts the snazzy snazz in any outfit. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Sequin Shorts

What I'm Wearing: ASOS Polka Dot Mesh Bodice, Zara Gold Sequin Shorts, Louis

Vuitton Clutch, ASOS Peeptoe Platforms, H&M Hat + House of Harlow Sunglasses

After such a fun weekend, its back to work, and its sort of painful having to be productive again. But when the weather is dull grey and stress hits a high point, there is nothing more liberating than jumping into a pair of sequin shorts. For a while, I completely avoided anything sequin embellished, but these days, I'm totally in love with anything and everything dripping in bling. Life seems so full of drama these days, I sort of want to escape somewhere warm and tropical until 2012. But for this week, I'll take each day at a time, keeping warm and busy in my cosy apartment. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

It has been almost a full year since I moved to Paris. And so this video is a celebration to the city I love but also a snapshot of the silly ridiculous stuff that happens on my typical weekend here. This was such fun to make, once you get into the habit of filming frequently, it becomes a little addictive, so there will definitely be many more sequels to come. Paris, I love you!

We Be Chilled

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Emporio Armani Blazer, Adolfo Dominguez Sweater, Vintage

Leopard Skirt, ASOS Loafers & Sunglasses, H&M Hat + Zara Mini Bowler Bag

What a fun day- running around Paris taking goofy photos and hanging out in cosy cafes. I haven't stopped laughing all day. Currently bumming around the apartment with friends, listening to Drake, deliberating on whether a nighttime escape into the city is a good idea or not (its just so cold here today). I really don't want this weekend to end, next week is going to be busy busy so for now, I'll get lost in the simple pleasure of relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. More tomorrow!

Fluff Suit

What I'm Wearing: H&M White Hat, Vintage Glitter Burgundy Top, Zara Leather Leggings, ASOS

Platform Heels, Zara Mini Bowler Bag, ASOS Watch, House of Harlow Sunglasses & YSL Arty Ring

Wow, really cannot take this hat off. Maybe I should just dye the top part of my head white! Today has been busy, running around a very cold Paris taking photos. Some very beautiful friends of mine are in town from London, so the weekend starts NOW and its going to be such fun! Have a great one girls! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Dress Like a Lady

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Cream Blazer, H&M Sequin Shift Dress (worn as Top), Brand Bazar Skirt,

Vintage Sunglasses, Topshop Clutch, Zara Shoes &  Miss Annie May Pearl Multi-Strand Necklace. 

Wow, the week is almost over- I'm excited for the weekend, I guess I always am though. Because I'm self employed, people often assume that I do whatever the hell I want all week- I wish that was true. When Friday night rolls around it means I can turn my computer off and get out into the city.  And this one is going to be delicious; shopping, dancing and brunching. I cannot wait! I feel like there are still so many corners of this city I am yet to explore, and so I am def. vowing to make more of an effort to just aimlessly walk around Paris. And also, I NEED to get some 35 mm film for my vintage Minolta and start snapping away. There is something so romantic about developing film- I love my digital Canon but photos are taken so quickly, not much thought goes into the whole photography process. Anyway, I ramble. More tomorrow!

Bow-Tie Match

What I'm Wearing: Vintage EVERYTHING except StyleSofia Satchel, ASOS Loafers + Sunglasses

I've been busy busy busy today. And I've recently developed the habit of waking up ridiculously early to clean my already clean house. Weird. Plus I have taken to cooking everything in my brand new steamer- its so great and so healthy. You should all invest in one, just saying! Designed and ordered the Frassy Christmas Card today- every Holiday season I intend on doing one and this year, it has happened! (huge thanks to Jaymie Callaghan whose lovely illustration I used for the card) - they will be for sale on Frassy Rags very soon! Hope you all are having a good week, mine has been jam packed! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Russian Colour

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Jaeger Red Coat, Zara Sheer Red Blouse, Vintage Blue High Waisted Trousers,

H&M White Hat, Vintage Sunglasses, New Look Heels, Ebay Clutch ,YSL Arty Ring + Frassy Rags Peace Ring

I absolutely refuse to follow the "its winter now, we can only wear black" trend that the rich Parisian women in my neighbour strictly adhere to. In fact, bright colours keep you warmer- or so I believe. This red coat is one of my prized posessions- I can't remember when or where I bought it but I do know that everytime I wear it something fun/great/hilarious happens to me. I read an article in Vestoj (which is a fashion theory/literature journal you all should check out) about how we give life to an object by how we choose to use it, wear it and love it. And how vintage clothes hold memories and energy from their past owners- and so I like to think that the woman who wore this coat before me was wonderfully vivacious- one of those people who literally sparkled her way through life. And I think thats why good stuff happens to me in this red coat- its all because of her- this woman I imagine so vividly everytime I slip this Jaeger beauty on. Anyway, I could ramble about "how clothes have feelings" forever, so I'll stop now and go cook dinner! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Comfy

What I'm Wearing: Uniform for the Dedicated (men's) Sweater, Vintage Leopard Print Blouse,

H&M Beanie & Tights, River Island Leopard Slipper Flats, ASOS Sunglasses +Vintage Boxy Bag

So, this is what my hair looks like when I decide to straighten it- gosh, my locks look so much longer! If only I could find it in me to do this all the time (make-up and hair wise, I am so lazy- I barely style my hair and I usually wear absolutely no makeup, which usually means I am running around Paris looking like a twelve year old. And girls, there is nothing wrong with stealing men's sweaters (your boyfriend/dad/older brother's) and wearing them as dresses. They are just SO COMFY. I've got alot to do, I'm currently sorting through Frassy Rags stock- coming up with some sort of organized inventory. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen 

PillBox

What I'm Wearing: ASOS Black PillBox Hat, House of Harlow Chelsea Sunglasses, Vintage Faux Fur Jacket, H&M Silk Tank,

Vintage Emporio Armani Silk Pants,  ASOS Loafers, Louis Vuitton Clutch Bag &Viola Jane Designs Collar

I've wanted a Pill Box hat for a long while now, and during my recent midnight ASOS shopping binge, I came across this baby for only 10 pounds. SCORE. My Sunday has been lovely;  glorious weather, great company and good food. The air smells like Christmas in Paris- makes me wanna bake and maybe some how track down a Christmas tree for my apartment- I don't have any decorations, but maybe I could adorn it in all my jewellery?! Pimped out Bling Tree! Hope you guys are relaxing! Happy Sunday! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Leopard/PolkaDOTS

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Hat, ASOS Sunglasses, Vintage Leopard Print Coat + Maroon Polka Dot Blouse,

Topshop Denim Shorts, Zara Mini Bowler Bag, ASOS Loafers, YSL Arty Ring & Frassy Rags Peace Ring

What a wonderfully quiet weekend, staying cosy in my apartment- only leaving for spontaneous shopping trips for furry hats, granola and sequins. Winter is officially upon Paris- early evening yesterday I walked all the way home; marvelling at the christmas lights sparkling all over the facades of Galeries Lafayette, and then, I paused to take a couple photos of the glittering Eiffel Tower and finally, I watched  the glowing warm Ferris Wheel slowly spinning in the Tuileries. Must admit, I was in a rather despondent mood yesterday but that 25 minute walk set my soul straight- Paris has such an undeniable spark about it and its a city that genuinely keeps me happy. Happy Weekend to all you wonderful readers! More tomorrow!

Casual Suede

What I'm Wearing: H&M Suede Bomber Jacket, Frassy Rags Frassy Autumn Blouse, Vintage Bag, Cheap

Monday High Waisted Jeans from LOVE Clothing, New Look Patent Platform Heels + H&M Sunglasses

Messy bun and high-waisted jeans-keeping it casual but adding dressy jazz with towering heels and a structured jacket. Perfect weekday ensemble. And I'm wearing the Frassy Autumn Blouse, now available for all you lovelies to buy here- I've worn this shirt a couple times on Frassy now- and as you all know I would never endorse or sell something I didn't love personally, so there you have it: its my favourite winter/autumn layering piece. Its Friday (yay, yes, yay!)- what is everyone doing? I'll be having a quiet one- there are some flea markets, galleries and brunch establishments I want to check out. Happy Weekends! Go Have Fun!

Collar

What I'm Wearing:  Viola Jane Designs Collar, Vintage Beige Polka Dot Silk Tee + Suede Button-Up Skirt, H&M Tights, 

ASOS Loafers, Vintage Oversized Tote, Vintage YSL Sunglasses + Cartier Love, Gogo Philip & Frassy Rags Bracelets

I'm a big fan of collars- they work with almost everything and they totally transform a drab tee/tank/dress - problem is I couldn't find any I really liked- until I came across Viola Jane Designs on Etsy (which is a total fashion haven by the way, I urge you all to start browsing the site, its sooo addictive). Anyway, Viola stocks every sort of collar you could imagine, and she makes them all herself too- super good quality plus very affordable: go check her stuff out here. I've had a good day, photographed the new Frassy Rags stock with my lovely friend, Isa and then lazed around my apartment with Haleigh. But I gotta dash now, as I am running off to Curio Parlour to meet some friends- nothing like good company to keep you warm in this cold! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Maroon Suited

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Maroon Blazer, ASOS Leather Tank, Vintage Armani Trousers,

Zara Heels, ASOS Gold Panther Bangle, Grey Ant Sunglasses & Louis Vuitton Patent Clutch

There is nothing wrong with throwing on a black wig when wearing a maroon suit. Okay, I am completely crazy- crazy for fashion but also for wigs- the two together, oh mon dieu....irresistible! You gotta find your thrills somewhere in this bleak winter weather and playing with my hair colour provides infinite entertainment. Besides, a wig adds extra warmth/insulation to your head, much more than a hat would- so there you have it, wigs are practical. I'm going to take a quick second here to mention the 1) freezing temperatures in Paris (winter literally JUMPED onto this city) and 2) Christmas?! Almost here already! Ok rant and wig ramblings over, more tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Sunset, Pont Neuf

What I'm Wearing: Zara Blazer, Vintage Turtleneck Sweater, Stradivarius Suede

 Shorts, ASOS Brogues + Sunglasses, H&M Hat + Mulberry Bayswater Bag

Clothes everywhere, hours spent replying to emails- I've quickly gotten back into my Paris routine. Its pretty chilly outside and all I want to do is make soup and hide in the warmth of my bed. I've got alot of work to catch up on this week and I'm investing in a whole new set of kitchen "tools": vegetable steamer, pressure cooker, juicer and blender. You know you are maturing when you spend your extra cash on household applicances rather than shoes and magazines. Anyway, I'll leave this at that- before I start rambling on about other boring applicances, such as my burning desire for a dryer AND a dishwasher (damn I am SO badass!) More tomorrow!

Black, All.

What I'm Wearing: Goldie London Leather Jacket, StyleSofia Dress,

ASOS Loafers, H&M Hat, Vintage Clutch & Grey Ant Sunglasses

Hey Lovelies. So, I'm back in Paris! I cannot even describe how happy I am to be back. In the taxi on the way home, I had my ipod on (I was listening to Drake)- and the euphoria that hit me as we drove into the city was pretty spectacular. I guess you don't realise how much a place means to you until you leave, and hell, it was only a few days, but I did miss it! Anyway, huge apologies for not posting on a daily basis recently, its something I pride myself on as a blogger- but I'm back and there will be something new on Frassy everyday again, I promise! Its not very often I wear a completely black ensemble, but I thought it was justified because of the beautiful mesh layer of this dress. AND this Goldie Leather jacket has so far been my favourite autumn/winter piece- I really recommend it- because strangely, it works with almost every outfit! I literally have to stop myself from wearing it every day of the week! So, I'm going to have a bath and unpack. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen
