L***RS IN PARIS

So it's Valentine's Day and I don't have a date tonight, despite the fact that I'm certifiably betrothed to Joseph Altuzarra. I guess his people didn't get the memo I sent them on Twitter, so I figure there's no harm in a fantasy date with Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing since he fantasy asked me out and I'm an imaginary floozy.

The date would be an all-day affair, beginning in the morning with café au lait and conversation.

We would then wander through the city, starting up at buildings and strolling aimlessly through markets and gardens (this date is obviously taking place in the summer...)

Then we'd hit the shops for some "dress you up in my love" action, as Olivierkins would want to make sure I was snapped by his side in my favorite look from his Fall/Winter '12 collection. We'd drop by Galeries Lafayette and peruse fragranced candles and possibly he'll have a custom-scented bougie waiting for me...

And in the evening we would host a dinner party in his courtyard, with lots of cheese and bread.

Afterwards, someone would suggest dancing at Le Montana but, "non," I will say...

And instead, Olivier and I will watch French New Wave films late into the night. Happy Valentine's Day to me!
