PARIS ON WHEELS

Posted Mar 13 2009 @ 09:42 PM

Jetting off for a little vacation time, Jessica Alba had a day to herself to relax in Paris on March 11. Cruising the City of Lights on wheels, Jess checked out an art exhibit at the “Jeu de Paume” museum before meeting up with a lady friend for some serious shopping along the famous boulevard Saint Germain. Besides enjoying a little break from her motherly duties, Jessica is in town for Paris Fashion Week and is expected to attend the Miu Miu show tomorrow. For her day of sightseeing, Jessica started with a slouchy black turtleneck (try PGD Style’s Jaclyn Cozy Turtleneck Top in Black for mild winter temps), dark skinnies (try Hudson’s comfortable Carly Skinny Jean in Black) and some adorable black flats with flirty bows on the toes. Adding an electric blue knit cap, big round sunnies and an ornate tan printed tote (I’m sure Jess would adore Carla Mancini’s Tote with Braided Handles in Off White Crocodile for the spring season), Jess looked très chic as she made her way around the city. What do you think of her comfy look? If you noticed the futuristic handlebars of Jessica’s bike, she’s not trying to set herself apart from the crowd – the bike is a rental from Paris’ bike-sharing service, called Velib. It’s a pretty cool program, designed to alleviate traffic on the streets and give citizens an alternative to the crowded metro system. Riders can rent bikes hourly and turn them in to the nearest rental point when they reach their destination. Jess did just that when she met up with her gal pal for a delicious lunch at Relais de l’Entrecôte, turning her wheels in before hitting the shops. You know Ms. Green loves the idea of reducing her environmental impact – if only LA would start up a similar program!
