Stéphanie J!

We received many lovely responses to the Holiday giveaway contest, but yours stood out as cute, witty and touching. 
Stéphanie, the gold Zoes are all yours!!
Please contact office@maloles.com to retrieve your prize.

A big thanks to everyone who participated, I loved reading your resolutions!

get your party shoes on!

With so much to do during the holidays, you might be left with little time to pick our your outfits for the celebrations. One piece of advice: start with the shoes! I love our Ardi shoes, they stand out on their own and can be worn in so many different ways.

Maloles Ardi, you can get them at Le Bon Marché Paris/ contact sales@maloles.com for other locations

Here are some suggestions for styling the Ardis:

Mathew Williamson dress, Giles & Brother cuff, Bottega Veneta clutch

Alice and Olivia dress, Tom Binns earrings, Helmut Lang clutch

Giambattista Valli jumpsuit, Tom Binns collar, Miu Miu clutch

I'd like a clutch under my tree (next to the Zoes)

Olympia Le Tan is known for her alternative approach to design, so her work has always held my interest. Her latest collections combines my love of vintage book covers and pretty hand bags, and include a gorgeous line up of "intellectual" clutches, imitating classic works of literature. I love to keep things interesting in my outfits, and I must say, these are a quite a complement to my many pairs of shoes!

Le Derrière.

When you're looking for somewhere cool & cozy to eat, I highly recommend Le Derriere, a real hidden treasure in the marais.

What sets this restaurant apart is the amazing atmosphere, you really feel like you're eating at someone's destroyed boho french baroque home. With many rooms to discover, its impossible to get bored: in between courses you can play a round of ping pong, visit the perplexing bathrooms and wash your hands in a bath tub... or you can try to find the secret smoking room.

Even more interesting is that the place used to be a sweatshop, and was completely transformed by its notoriously in vogue owner Mourad Mazouz along with designer Barbie Sloan. Oh, and the food isn't so bad either.
