It has been a year since my last post. Life has been extremely busy filled with personal accomplishments, love, changes and new additions. I keep finding less and less time for myself, me time. But i guess i have to “make time” in order to fit everything into a normal life schedule.
PARIS- the city of lights, the city of love and the city of romance. There are many names to describe Paris but the only way you can experience it is by being there. You need to breathe the air, listen to the language and eat French baguette with pate!
My very first time in Paris. It was special and it made me appreciated the short 2 years in high school i spent learning French. It wasn’t very helpful but I was familiar with it enough to enjoy the experience. We took the train from London, a very short train ride since we slept almost the whole time we boarded. Checked into our hotel, we immediately headed out on foot to the nearest attraction: Jardin du Luxembourg
Such a nice walk. It was the last day of August and the weather was ideal. Everyone was out to enjoy the nice weather. We saw families with kids on the grass, friends laughed together next to their bikes, lovers whispered sweet nothings in each other’s ears on the benches… I loved Paris already!
Blouse: Lilly Pulitzer Elsa Silk Henley. Originally $138. Of course I didn’t pay full price for it. Sorting through the clearance rack, I found this beauty for $29. Granted there was a small tear next to the seam near the buttons but nothing my seamstress couldn’t fix for $3. It is perfect for long flights, train rides or car rides since it is very roomy. It gives the comfort of being in a big night shirt but the luxury of silk is undeniable for its sophistication. I like how a material as fancy as silk is being translated in to casual chic with a henley design.
Yes, that’s my Bianca Jane on a Leash Marc Jacob crossbody clutch (see my other blog). I bring it with me every time I travel because of its perfect size and also the neutral color that can go with anything and everything! The skinny black leather belt with studs is from J Crew and those pants I just scored a day before I left at Bloomingdale’s Outlet for $15
All the colors of summer can be seen here…. just beautiful…
