If you have a Bloomies near you, check to see if they carry the brand. (It's French.) They are AMAZING jeans. It's a terrific trouser fit with a semi-high waist, but not too high (This is great for me, because I am short waisted and cannot usually wear high waisted pants). I did size up one size and they fit beautifully. I love the pockets and they make my legs look very, very long. I have not been good about posting pics lately but will try to do so soon.</p> <p>I just washed them and am hoping I have not ruined them. part of me is thinking I maybe should have dry cleaned them; they are that special. Fingers crossed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-french-for-my-birthday#post-1739856 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 13:33:03 +0000 Lisa W 1739856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific!!

He hates shopping, unless it's for food. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-french-for-my-birthday#post-1739349 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 05:24:43 +0000 Eliza 1739349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magnifique!

Chestnut Hill was my stomping ground back when it was not too chi-chi for the original Gap. I still miss Filene's and Jordan Marsh too. We used to walk there after school. Is Tony's Italian restaurant still open on the corner of Langley and Route 9? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-french-for-my-birthday#post-1735355 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:15:32 +0000 Angie 1735355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOO.

I did get a nice big gift certificate to my favorite boutique locally.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-french-for-my-birthday#post-1735305 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 16:14:17 +0000 Muffin 1735305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the idea of taking the husband shopping for birthdays. Seems like a win-win situation. Can't wait to the outfit pictures! I love Bedhead pajamas--and all things French. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-french-for-my-birthday#post-1735297 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 15:49:13 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1735297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your buys.

Lovely items. Can't wait to see your outfits, Vivian!

Michael is not an active participant like Greg, I should note. He's in it for the conversation and the food, but when it comes to the shopping he likes to find a comfortable chair and hang out on his phone and wait for me to come out in something so he can nod and agree with me. :)</p> <p>I ended up getting a number of new things but the most special are below, and there was a clear French theme: a pair of Bedhead pajamas with a Paris motif (from a Chestnut Hill boutique called Portobello Road), and trouser jeans and a georgette boho-ish top from French brand Gerard Darel (which were on special discount at Bloomingdales). The brand is only available stateside at select Bloomies, I think, although widely available in France.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll be wearing the jeans and top out to dinner this weekend, so I'll post a photo. Just wanted to share the items for now. </p>
