Paris Shops: Les Puces de Saint-Ouen David Roy

More yummy treats courtesy of Les Puces. One of my favorite vendors a couple of years ago was the fantastic David Roy, which was always stocked with a wonderful selection of designer RTW frocks and foot wear. Although when we went searching for it this trip, we were sad to find a sort of watered down, weeded out version of what I remembered. After thumbing through the clothing for a while and chatting with the guy who was watching the shop he asked if we had been to the new location. What's that you say?? He closed up shop and escorted us over to Allie 1, Stand 3 in the Marché Vernaison. When we arrived we were pleasantly satisfied!

David Roy now carries primarily high end vintage couture. With some really special and unique designer picks from Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Celine, Oscar de la Renta and the like. All very well cared for and in pristine condition. The space is beautifully laid out with a plush carpet, a purple velvet chaise in the corner and beautiful prints filling the walls. You can almost lose yourself and forget you're in the middle of the flea market.

Loads of lovely trinkets and accessories as well.

I was really excited for this chic little addition to Les Puces. You need to go and lap up the luxury. Tell Them Taryn Sent You and get 10-15% off!

Happy Shopping and Gros Bisous!

Paris Shops: Les Puces de Saint-Ouen FLORENCE NUGUE

One of my favorite things to do in the wonderful city of Paris is to roam for hours around the INCREDIBLE flea Market. It has to be one of my favorite places to shop on earth! I could spend my whole trip here. If they would let me pitch a tent and crash over night I do believe I would. One of the best stalls is number

Florence Nugue has the perfect mix of everything. Including clothing, accessories, furniture and interesting little trinkets. It's also extremely organized and artfully merchandised. So although you feel like you are uncovering little gems, you don't really have to dig around and get you hands dirty. Not that I don't take pleasure in that as well! This stall really gives you the feeling you are roaming around some collectors home. It's intimate, friendly and inviting.

This was so interesting. They speculate that it may be either an old hot water bottle. Or possibly a way to smuggle illegal alcohol. Looked like a proper sized little flask to me. But then again, I may have a problem.... HA!

The Clignancourt Market is huge and vast. So be ready to give your little "pieds" a bit of a work out. You can find Florence Nugue in the Marché Vernaison, Allée 1 Stand 29. When you find it "Tell Them Taryn Sent You"!

Gros Bisous!
