Riki in Paris

Lunch on Rue du Bac

It’s a beautiful fall day, crisp but sunny. We walked along the river Seine from our apartment in the 7eme to Dehillerin, the best place in Paris to buy top quality knives and other cookware. Stopped on the way on Rue du Bac for lunch “au terrace” (al fresco), where I was both stylish AND cozy warm in my black double-breasted sweater coat from Riki. Fashion flash: A trendy boutique on Rue du Bac had a window display featuring a tweed swing jacket that’s almost an exact replica of the one I brought with me from Riki fall 2006. Do we like being “fashion forward” in Paris? Mais, oui!
