Just lovely! I really love living in Paris. A little downside is sometimes reading great tips here or seeing a fantastic piece and then finding out that most of the companies don't ship to Europe... Oh well.

We love "le Marais" and "ill de Cite". Those are our favourite hang out locations in Paris. Saint Germain is a little touristy. Where to begin! Just for kicks, here is my AF experinece in Paris: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/06/02/paris-the-anne-fontaine-experience/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/06/.....xperience/</a> shell on "First post and first AF purchases!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-post-and-first-af-purchases#post-45380 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:52:47 +0000 shell 45380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ just wanted to pop in and say they look great! i love the pleated cuff detail on the white top! tarzy on "First post and first AF purchases!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-post-and-first-af-purchases#post-45366 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 22:08:44 +0000 tarzy 45366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow.

I too lvoe your blouses, especially the amazing, intricate cuffs on the white one. I'm not Dutch, but my husband and my stepdad both are. I am generally surrounded by Dutch people I don't speak any of the language except for food words, but I can make some Dutch food and my married name is Dutch. We'd like to visit Holland some day.

I live in Belgium, so we're not that far away from each other. Thanks for posting pictures, and what an entrance you made, I LOVE your two shirts (with AF, it's all in the details, is't it?). The black looks so sophisticated and the white deliciously crisp and soft. Enjoy your new purchases!

Compliments from such style queens make my day! And the name angelique gave me some Dutch suspicions, but how fun that you have lived in Paris too, Angie! Any secret adresses you'd like to share?

It sounds like you are living every girl's dream: studying in Paris and shopping at AF. Both blouses you got are gorgeous, and you look wonderful in them. However that white one is absolutely incredible, I would steal it right now if I could :) Looking forward to more posts from you. Elika on "First post and first AF purchases!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-post-and-first-af-purchases#post-45192 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:44:05 +0000 Elika 45192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi everyone! I have been reading along on this site for a little bit now, and I thought it would be time to come out and say hello :). All the tips and info are so fantastic and I'm really learning a lot! And now for the scary/exciting part: with this first post also come my first purchase photos, because they have been directly inspired by YLF! Background info: I’m a Dutch law student who’s living it up in Paris at the moment during an exchange program. Unfortunately, my time here is almost over, but it is the time of the ‘Soldes’ (Parisian sales) and I wanted to make some use of that. I had read about Anne Fontaine here, and also walked past a shop almost every day for the past 4 months (a lovely view!), so this was my exciting destination. In the end I went for both a white and a black blouse. For the most mileage, I chose relatively basic models, but they are both of supreme quality and comfort and make me feel totally great! Quite a splurge, but I’m hoping they will last me for a long time (especially seeing how hard it is to find blouses that fit nicely all around). This is the link (and sorry about the bad lighting): [URL]http://s553.photobucket.com/albums/jj388/balletjazz/Anne%20Fontaine/[/URL] Do let me know any comments. And from now on I’ll try to look in and wave more often to learn from all you stylish and inspiring ladies!
