Paris in the Fall

Doesn’t wandering the streets of Paris on a beautiful fall day just sound divine? Breakfast and people watching from a favorite cafe, then a day spent roaming the halls of museums, and hunting for treasures at local flea markets and bookstores. How about ending the day with plenty of champagne, cheeses and baguettes? Don’t mind if I do!

This mix of casually chic high and low items are just the right combination to keep you warm, comfy and cozy, while fulfilling all your Parisian dreams. Some of the investment pieces such as a classic Burberry trench coat, an Hermes scarf or a YSL leather purse will become timeless staple pieces in your wardrobe and last you forever if they are properly cared for. Treat yourself to one at a time. Maybe even invest in some vintage ones if you happen to find them, (always incorporate some more vintage pieces in there somewhere if possible, with some jewelry or accessories?).

Oh. And as always don’t forget the red lipstick, or an umbrella just in case it rains!

Summer in Paris

While seriously itching for spring and sundresses to arrive, I can’t help but daydream of spending a summer in Paris. 

Aren’t these Charlotte Olympia sandals just yummy? Where do you have plans to travel to this summer?
