From: www.abeautifulmess.com Whoever invented soup was a genius. I hope they somehow monetized the whole idea for themselves because they deserve it.  Do you know what soup is?

        ADD TO FAVOURITES Paris Fashion Week has started, and we begin the task of publishing a plethora of street style-reports from the French capital. Today, we share the most interesting images of the first two days... And so on to the final leg of fashion month, we arrive  from Milan  to Paris, the city of lights and luxury fashion, for the longest of the four main fashion weeks – nine days worth.  Somehow we find ourselves already two down, having scoured the streets outside Balenciaga, Dries Van Noten and Rochas – and look forward to the busy schedule that awaits us for the next seven days.
