I have found the best shoe store in Paris. I repeat, I have found the best shoe store in Paris!…read moreIt's almost too good to be true, but it's not, since I have the boots on my feet to prove it! Ok, imagine a shop that sells a tight-selection of super stylish, comfortable shoes, from boots and strappy heels to slip on flats and chunky pumps at affordable prices. Already, I've got you hooked right? Now add to that the fact that all of the shoes are made in Paris in an atelier in the 11th. Not only is that impressive, but so outrageously rare. Aside from super exclusive artisans creating custom shoes that cost a month's rent, it's impossible to find locally-made shoes at real-people prices. Now, as if that weren't enough, get ready for the icing on the cake. ALL of the models can be customized for no extra fee at all. So, if you love that pair of peep-toe pumps but want them in emerald green in stead of pink, Taher Mardini can make that happen for you. I took advantage of the sales and bought myself the perfect pair of black boots at 30% off the ticket price. They are amazingly beautiful and super comfortable and cost 1/4 of the price of a pair of designer boots made who knows where in the world. I'm totally eying a pair of ankle books that I plan on ordering in one of the 50 or so different colors that you could choose from. Never owned a pair of red boots and I think that I totally need that experience in my life. Oh, I forgot to mention that they'll also recreate a pair of your favorite beat up shoes for you too! How insane is that?! Thanks to Taher Mardini we can now make all of our shoe fantasies come true!

Stumbled upon some cool looking sneakers in the window while walking through this arcade…read more Apparently, Bexley is a French brand with reasonable prices. I haven't worn the shoes yet but they felt great in the store. If you buy two pairs, you get a discount on the second pair. The store has other things other than shoes but I focused on just getting the sneakers. Also the service was very good and the store associates were very nice and also spoke English which was helpful.

Diane is a delightful shopkeeper who helps you find the perfect shoe. These shoes are a work of art. Added to the inventory, is a line of shoes with custom designs painted by artist Sauver Carlus. I recommend this shop to any woman that wants an extraordinary pair of shoes that will make her feel like she stepped out of a painting from the Belle Époque. I'll be back next year for another pair. Merci beaucoup Diane, Sylvia & Sauver for creating joy for lovers of shoes thatske us feel féminine and desired.

They are more like Charlotte Russe but an upgraded version. The design is unique and very cute, and not too expensive at all. I don't really care much about their purses and other small items like belts, hats, and stuff. Nothing is special about these items, but clothes are cute. I am hoping that they will come to the US.

Galeries Lafayette Paris is absolutely breathtaking!…read more The gorgeous glass dome and ceilings are a showstopper all by themselves. Almost every designer you can think of is here, making this a must-see and a must-shop when visiting Paris. And it doesn't stop inside Galeries Lafayette--the entire surrounding area has stores for days! Lights, glitz, glamour, luxury, and fashion everywhere you turn. It reminded me of an upscale New York City 42nd Street, but with that beautiful Parisian elegance. Even if you're not planning to shop, go for the experience. There's so much to see, you could spend hours just walking around and taking it all in. Definitely one of my Paris must-visits!

My husband and I were talking to our good friend who's been living in Paris for the last five…read moreyears, and she told us e-commerce is less dominant there because people seem to prefer shopping in physical stores. While malls die all over America, retail still thrives in Paris. Exhibit A: Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. I've been to this department store a number of times over the years, and I both enjoy it and fear how completely it can suck up precious vacation hours. It's a fantastic place to shop, with a ton of well curated inventory spread out across multiple floors in multiple buildings. The main building features that beautiful domed ceiling, which manages to catch me by surprise every time I walk in. I haven't had the opportunity to shop for my own clothes here in a long time, but I've gotten some really great stuff on the children's floor, and discovered the souvenir section on my last visit, where I picked up some cool Paris Metro toy trains and magnets. We did somehow get stuck at Galeries Lafayette for over two hours and ended up skipping Notre-Dame, which might have been a better place to spend our last afternoon in Paris. But it was sale season, and my kids look super cute in their heavily discounted Petit Bateau. Galeries Lafayette is busy and sometimes overwhelming, but it's a wonderful department store. I wish we had something like it back home. I'd much rather shop there than fall for targeted ads on Instagram.

I can range from a 36.5, 37, 37.5 and sometimes an 38 depending on whether it's open toe, boot, or pump. I tell Lisa the shoes, I want and she can tell me which size, I need to go up or down in even without me trying on the shoe. Amazing! I wish, she lived in the states. All the Reps knowledgeable and the service is grade A. It's best to remember your shoe stylist to prevent from waiting in line. I always go to Lisa and after being gone for a year (with no visits) upon my arrival on 10/30/17, she remembered me and even the shoes I purchased on 11/23/16 last year. Also remember to keep your Sales Rep cell number handy to request shoe sizes and designs before arrival using WhatsApp. This way your stylist can have the shoes ready on your visit if it's not located at the store they can order it. It will also prevent you from waiting in line outside the door in cold winter weather OR hot weather. ***Don't forget to bring your passport to get your VAT tax refund, I saved $444 on one pair. They cost more in the states.***
