leave for Paris is less than one month! Gosh times flies. This trip has been on the back burner for a couple of years now, and I finally get to go. I have been trying to decide how to pack. At first we were supposed to go during Easter, which would have been a much cooler trip than the mid May trip for which we are now scheduled. I do not know how to pack because I am trying to make sure I have enough room to bring back some goodies. There are a couple of things though, that I believe are necessary: a pair of cool flat shoes, spring dresses, and a cross body bag with a long strap.
I told you about the new Leifsdottir line of shoes that debuted two months ago. The four pairs I mentioned are all on my wish list which includes, the Lotta Flat, the Brazilian made buttery ballet flat with a flirty ankle strap. The Lotta Flat contains a zipper in the back of the shoe. The Lotta Flats are $248.00 at Leifsdottir.
There is one spring dress in particular that I think is so Parisian. The All Along the Lines Dress is a strapless mini, multi-tiered cream dress with blue, red and pink stripes. It contains a sash and a cut fold over seam that folds down against the bodice. It is 100% viscose with a polyester lining. If only the Lotta Flat came in red...The All Along the Lines Dress is $47.99 at Modcloth.
The cross body bag of which I am in search needs to have depth and width so I can stash some souvenirs while I am tramping through St. Germain-des-Pres. The bag should be something kind of sexy and not too practical, but nothing to big and audacious that might signal tourist. I found the Matt and Nat Plush Ritual. It is marketed to carry personal laptops, so you can imagine how deep and wide it is. The bag is 16 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 12 inches high with an adjustable cross-body strap that is 18.5 inches long. The bag has a recycled interior lining and is constructed from vegan faux leather. The Matt and Nat Plush Ritual is now on sale for $180.00 at Zappos.
Until Paris,
Chamele
